credit for two stolen bases in case he
keeps running to third?'-W. F. c.
He does not. The second baseman Is
charged with an error for the extra
base that the runner took. The run
ner gets only one stolen base.
S. d. Upton, local representative of
the Pasadena nine, is shy a pitcher for

paper" he said.
"All right, sport what Is it!' was
the rejoinder.

other team. What did he dor why

Speak not too harshly of them when they ran
to win q game;
Don't call them "dubs' and SLOW ones" or
some other wicked name;
Just remember they are human, every player
And that ' winning every contest is a rootsr's
idle dream.
There is not team can beat US in the whole
u. s. Of A.
So why such bitter censure when SO talthtuily
they play2
why not smile instead of frowning; why not
help dispel the fear?
II will put new vigor in them just to hear
your welcome cheer
For the time is surely coming-yes It's drawing
near. my boy,
When remorse viii surely rob you OF life
times sweetest joy.
For you cannot join the faithful when the
mighty race is run;
You cannot share the glory when the pennant
they have won.
