MUST RECOGNIZE
COLLEGE PLAYERS
Big League Managers Never
Fail to Look Over
College Teams

Ten years ago the college ball player
was a curiosity in major league circles.
but to-day he is a mixture. Up to
date big league managers never fail 10
look over the college stars when scout
ing for material.
Connie Mack has been very FORUM
ate with college players, getting a
number of his stars direct, among them
being Plank. Coombs. Barry, e. Col
lins. Files and Powers.
II would be possible to form a pretty
fast team from the various college
PLAYERS in the American League, and
what a noise they would make if they
gave their various college barks after
victory. Here is a mythical team
made up of players who have enjoyed
the liberal advantages Of a college edu-
cation:
The catching department would be
looked after by Mike Powers, of Notre
Dame fame; Carrigan, Of Holy Cross,
and Spencer. of BuclSnen. These play
ers are now with the Athletics, Boston
and st. Louis respectively, and would
form a mighty trio.
There are plenty of college beavers
in Ban BIS league. White, of Chicago,
was once a star at Georgetown; Plank
and Coombs. of the Athletics, former
" attended Gettysburg and Colby,
Falkenburg. with Cleveland, was once
the star of the University Of Illinois.
These are but few of the many.
The infeld would be- only fair, with
Stahl. of Boston. at first: Chase at
second. Barry at short sn@ Hartzel,
of st. Louis. at third. Stahl was a
former University of Illinois captain;
Chase studied at the University of Vir-
ginia. and Hartzel at the Denver
School of Mines. Chase has played
second base and is very clever at that
| position.
There would be college outfielders
galore to pick from, among them be-
ing Gessler. of Boston; Birmingham
of Cleveland; Hahn. Of Chicago, and
/ Barr. as well as others.
Hughey Jennings was graduated al
Cornell. and. of course, would be tho
I manager. Can you imagine Hughey

GOOD Jokes
MRS JONES'

Maria" said Mr.. Jones, upon n of
his worrying days, "it seems to me
you might be more economical. Now,
there's my old clothes. Why can't
you make them over for the children
instead of giving them away?"
Because they're worn out when
you've done with Them" answered
things for the children that won't hold
together; you could not do it yourself,
Smart as you are.
We'll" grumbled Jones. Il wouldn't
have closets full of things mildewlng
for want of wear, If | was a woman,

That was In April. One warm day
in May Mr.. Jones ven prancing
through the closets looking for some
thing he couldn't find, and turning
things generally inside out.
Maria" he screamed, where is my
gray alpaca d~ust-coat?'
Made it over for Johnny"
"Ahem! Well, where's the brown
linen one | bought last summer"
"Clothes-bag!" mumbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have a difficulty in her
speech at that moment. Just made II
into a nice one"
Maria" asked the astonished man
in a subdued voice, would you mind
telling me what you have done with
my silk hat; you haven't made that
over for the baby, have you?"
"Oh, no, DEAR" answered the wife
cheerfully; I've used that for a hang
ing-basket. 1t is full of plants and
looks lovely"
Mr.. Jones never mentions the wore
economy, or suggests making over
he has had enough of it.

kind-Hearted Auntie.

One of those sizzling hot afternoons
the other day in Washington a very
black, very portly person from ole
Virginny or Whereabouts, with red ban
danna headgear and arms full of par
cells, ambled into a large apartment
store and halted at the ribbon counter,
which in this store happens to be
near the soda fountain.
The busy day neared the closing
hour. The breeze waited by many
whirling fans was like the breath
from Vesuvius' crater, and the clerks,
weary and warm, were not in the
~pleasantest humor as helated custom
ers struggled in. The old colored
auntie purchased the bright ribbons
that best suited her fancy and started
away, when an afterthought seemed to
strike her.
"Hyar, honey" she exclaimed, hand.

Horses to Get Vacations.

Uncle Sam, generous in giving vaca-
lions to his two-legged servants, is
hereafter to allow 80 days leave a
year to the post office department
horses in Washington. The animals
are to be sent, a few at a time, to a
fine, rich pasture in Maryland. Every
employee of the government" says the
chief clerk in the post office depart
ment, receives 80 days annual vaca-
ton and 80 days sick leave If neces-
sary. l see no reaso why the horses
we use in the business of the depart
ment ought not to receive a rest, or a
vacation, and hereafter I am going to
send each of the horses away for a 30
day period of rest. We can spare many
of them in the summer, and this is the
time they will appreciate a rest from
the hot asphalt and welcome the green
grass of the country and the shade
of the trees"

Washington Mans Wall About Cue

Continuing on hot weather topics
one might as well, for there's little In
clination among local folks to discuss
anything else-reminds me or one
charming hot weather custom OF the
people Of Saskatoon, in the Canadian
province of Saskatchewan, writes a
Washington newspaper scribe. Those
are real names and a be found on
the nap and the people are real, too.
They have to be to stand that fierce,
long-nighted fifty-below-zerO-and-still-
going-down cold of the hard frozen
winter months.
But If the winters are cold, so are
the summers hot, and one particular
afternoon-the mercury stood at about
1O6 in the shade-I was invited to &C.
company a little picnic party from
Saskatoon to Smiths Bluff-a grove
of near-trees about ten feet high-the
only kind that grow at all up there.

and so | accepted. / noted with In
terest, not unmixed with a%pprehen-
sion-for the drivers appeared care
less-that a dozen or so cases of beer
were loaded on the lunch wagon.
We landed at Smiths Bluff right
side up with care, but as dry as a
basket of chips from the black loan
dust that was kicked up in the journey
across the prairie, and the dozen or
so of us from the states began to
think of stems dripping with frost and
containing shOrt-cOllared portions OF
trapped malt. But just as We were ID

one of the members of our party shud-
dered, groaned and pointed. And, FOL
lowing his finger with our eyes, we
beheld several of our hosts Juggling
the beer from the wagon and carefully
placing it in the sun.

we groaned in unison, even at the rlsk

oh, what, does this dissertation mean!
Dissertation? What does 1t mean?

why, we're fixing the beer so it will
be nice for luncheon. We always drink
it sun warm. Don't you?"
Afterward we learned that those
dear people see so much ice in the
winter time-and feel it, too-tha'

All of which points a moral. Wher

LOOKED LIKE AN OLD FRIEND.
Speaker Cannon Amazed at Double"

Our reverend friend, Uncle Joe Can
non, speaker Of the house of repre-
sentatives. had the shock of his young
life on the Fourth of July, while at
tending the exercises attendant upon
the opening of the new Municipal
building. Some distinguished citizen
had just torn off a yard or two OF high
ly cultured e~locution, which was heard
fully. three feet from the spot on
which he was standing while talking,
and the next human incident on the
program advanced to the front. Incl
dentally, Uncle Joe had no printed
program, or at least hadn't looked 1t
over.
He caught sight Of the scheduled
and advancing parsonage, and his face
was a sight to see. His jaw dropped
until it bounced up and down on his
elderly chest, his eyes revolved like
pin wheels and he stuck out one hand
in a dazef sort of way.

words to that effect, how in the name
of pin wheels and rfi~recrackers can
William Jennings Bryan be in Lincoln,
Neb., and Washington, D. C., at one
and the same time, and what is he go
ing to talk here for, anyhow"
What's the matter with you, Mr..
Speaker" cried the man next to
Uncle Joe. That isn't Mr.. Bryan;
that's Charles Hanford, the actor"
Uncle Joe subsidized. His jaw flew
up to normal; his eyes quieted down
and his hand slipped back in his
pocket. ..-.
"Of course, I knew it couldn't be
