career, think the one that has most
forcibly impressed itself upon my
memory is the fact that subbed for
Larry at second base last season."
says Elmer Flick, the Cleveland ball
tosser. when Armour told me to
go out to second and see how well
could do, never felt queerer in my
life. A most peculiar feeling went
over me. l thought to myself. Here
am, going out to take the place Of
the greatest second baseman in the
business-me, man that has never
played second base and has not put
the ball on runner since the days
l used to catch about the lots Well,
I went out, and, as you know, played
second base for a week without max.
ing an error. My. but felt 1unny In
fact, used to laugh to myself out

warning. I used to pinch myself oc-

Consioerate,

Representative .Kehoe of Kentucky
tells of "a considerate Judge in his
state who passed sentence on a man
convicted of murder. The Judge said:
"Mr. Dodson, the jury says YOU are
guilty of murder, and the law says
you are to be hanged. 1t is my wish
that you and all your friends on the
river to know that it is not l who
condemns you; it is the jury and the
law, Mr.. Dodson. At what time, sir,
would you like to be hanged?"
The prisoner made answer that it
was a matter of indifference to him,
and that he was prepared to be swung
off at any time. The judge continued:
''Mr. Dodson, it is serious matter
to be hanged. 1t can't happen to a
man but once In life, unless the rope
should break before the neck is broke,
and you had better take all the time
you can. But since it makes no diff
ference to you, you may hang four
