hardly get through the day without
being made the victims of more or
less brilliant April fool joke.
But if you see a fat purse lying on
the sidewalk as you journey cityward
and pick it up to find its contents COM
posed of newspaper clippings, kindly
refrain from blaming us. We hardly
believe you will be able to resist the
temptation to pick up that purse.
Even if you remember the anniversary
you will think that perhaps it contains
real money of the spendable kind.
strongly to attach that purse to your
person. 1t is better to be laughed at
as one of the April fooled than to
overlook q chance to acquire some of
the treasures of this earth. The laugh
at you doesn't last as long as the fun
of spending money.
We really should say something
about the coin on the sidewalk. The
chances are that it is glued there,
glued so tightly that nothing short of
dynamite will jar it looose. Still, you
win be taking chance if you pass
that coin with only a longing look. II
might not be glued, after ALL If il
isn't glued you lose, provided you pass
it, though, of course. if it is glued you
lose. So there you are. You will have
to use your own judgment in spite of
all the advice we can give you.
Then there is the affair of the bat
tered hat. 1t is a lot of fun 10 kick
hat. AS the skypiece goes sailing up
into the circumambient we chortle
blithely. for it certainly makes a
laughsome sight But the awful pos
sibility Of a brick under the hat must
be considered. 1t is no fun to kick a
brick. That is, the fellow who does
the kicking can't see much fun in it.
And yet. and yet. Best Beloved. there
may not be a brick under the hat, and
the next man that comes along has
the fun of kicking it,
The doorbell matter seems worth
considering. If you don't answer the
doorbell you may offend a dear friend
who has called. If you do answer it
you may find nobody there. This.
again. is point that individual judg-
ment must determine. And so on
down through the list The one sure
thing about All Fools day and every
other day I'm the year, since YOU
brought the subject up, is that The
Herald is the best all around newspa-
per in this section of the country. and
it is getting better all the time, thank
you.

season will be utilized by the Queens
County Jockey Club.
There viii be no break in the sched-
ule Of the local racing days, as the
extra rneetiog at the Aqueduct track
will begin on Monday, September Is.
There is a movement among the ira *
magnates 10 arrange racing dates Tor
the remainder Of the season. At a
meeting Of the Jockey Club stewards
yesterday at the Gravesend track IL vas
proposed TO abolish entirely the lasu
meeting at the Aqueduct track.
AS the dates now stand the PimIico
track holds a meeting In opposition to
the one at Jamaica course. AS open
betting is permissible under the laws
OF Maryland, and as only oral bets

In order TO relieve the local racing
Of any such deterrent effect
Il was proposed that the final meeting
at the Aqueduct track be abolished
and that the Jamaica dates be n yed
up so that Jamaica would wind I'D The

was claimed that much money could be

Professionals Sometimes

Don't Know 1t.
OFTEN ACCIDENTS
RESULT IN SHIFTS
Many Greatest FielderS of Today
Started in Jobs They Did
Not Fit.

Dozens Of young ball players who
might otherwise be stars in their pro-
fessiOn are clubbing along on the wrong
job. That is the opinion of Clark Grit
fifth. who has had many years OF eX-
perience and knows whereof he speaks.
Every once in a while a player will be
called upon I'm an emergency to fill in at
some posrljon where he is sure he is no
good. and awakes only to discover that
the position assigned TO him by accident
was just|the one for which he was
suited. Wilbur Goodies career in CleVe-
land as an outfielder started Griffith
along the line of square ball players in

New York several years ago." Gr1n
said He was a pitcher then, and a
second rater, with no prospects of ever
being anything like pig league in the
box He attracted no more than the
usual amount of attention devoted to
young fellows who don't look good. OF
course, we had no use for him as
pitcher, and sent him to Montreal.
Failed to Make Good.
If he had showed anything like the
class he does now as an Outfielder, he
might now be rated with the top
notchers in the outer fields. Just think,
instead of starting now and having TO
learn the rudiments Of OUtfelding and
what to do on the bases. he might be
finished ball player up with the best Of
them.
IF you will look through the list of
players now in the major leagues you
will find that scores Of men who are
stars in one position now started in at
something else. Former pitchers are
now infielders, catchers have gone to
the OUtfield, and in general the whole
team as rule is now playing differently
than when its members started their
professional careers.

for which nature intended him. and is
a star. John Wagner. the greatest
shortstop of them all. started as a third
baseman: Claude RitChey, for years a
swell second basetnan, played first at
short; Nap LajOie was first baseman
until he developed into the greatest
second baseman in the country; Bobby
Wallace was a pitcher, effective against
some clubs and not against others, but
now he is a mighty good shortstop In
stances could be cited indefinitely to
prove the assertion that many ball
players are working on jobs not sUited
to them"
In this connection it is noticeable that
star ball players IN one position have
ambitions TO become great in other Jobs.
Adrian Joss has great aspirations for
first base. He spends most Of his time
practlcing at the first station and has
perfected himself in fielding until he
can get a thrown ball with the best Of
