No man is any wiser than he thinks

they think they are. There is a mar
gin between these two extremes. | am
speaking for the athletes just now.
There are times when they are open
to pitfalls and someone comes along
and hands them a piece of advice. If
you intend to climb the tree Of sue
cess and to taste of the sweets that
success brings, always be guided by
those whose years of experience license
them to think that they are wiser than
you are. The gentleman who sent me
the clipping and letter doesn't pretend,
from the tone of his letter, to know
more thar you or anybody else. He
saw an opportunity to spread a good
thought and he grasped the opportu-
nifty to do it. 1t is a good thing now
and then for us to sit down and make
q review of our life. BY it we can see
where we have made mistakes and If
we are on the level with ourselves and

takes. We can see our lost opportu-
mites and il we want to we can avail
ourselves of the experience of the past

A simple Lesson.
II send you, Mr.. Dugan, this en-
closed clipping which l ran across yes
terday and which | think can be turheu
into a good bit of advice for our boys
and girls. If you read the lines care
fully you will notice that the
Manhattan youths were desirous
of getting the honeycombs from
the trees. but you will also
note that none of them had the gump-
ton TO climb the tree to get the
sweets. They waited until the trees
wore cut dow and then oun that
he who waits is lost. The bees were
gone and the youths had to stand the
hangs of disgust for being so foollsh
az 70 wait instead of getting 1t them
selves. | would like our Newark boys
and GIRLS TO read this. The youths VINO
wait and refuse to grasp an oppor-
tnnitv when it is presented to them
will likewise feel the pains of dlsap-
pointment in after life. l would close
his letter by remarking that those
vo,,nc men who are considering en-
tering the grand race which your
paper is getting up had better do so
right away or else they will wait until
Time comes along and closes the entry
lists. and then they too will feel sorry
inst as these Manhattan boys did when
they saw that the honeycombs We're
not for them. The men who cut the
trees down got it. The clubs who en-
ter this race will get the praise OF the
public. Losing opportunities is a grave
mistake of many of our children.

but in the same strain. Surely he
picked a valued lesson from that news
item. He must be n man who lives Il
.-s~Nstematic life, who reads as he runs,
SO that he may learn and be able to
teach others. He points out a lesson
that every man who has the right kind
of blood iu his veins should not alone
produce himself, but teach it to his
children and to his neighbors.
Peculiarly n sporting Lesson.
This letter that l have quoted from is
particularly a sporting rmo There
are young mfn around us everywhere
who have every facility to become
noted in some particular thing. This
one may be a great lawyer. Another
might become a noted doctor. Again
you might become a Splinter of wide
world fame if--and here is where the
writer points out II lesson to men and
women of all walks of life-if they
would only take advantage of the OPP
portunities that are presented them.
If they wait until the chopper of OPP
portunities comes along and mows
down the chances then they are lost,
If they wait to collect II honey OF
life until some one else comes along
and grabs they have no one but them
selves to blame. There is an old say

NO HANDICAPS ALLOWED
Fan Suggests That Tigers Get a
Benefit Game, with Local
Players as Opponents.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

A fan writing to me today suggests
what might be a good thing for base

letter. so that the attention of Manager
Stallings and others who might be IN
terested, may see to what limits pase-
ball enthusiasm has run since the

Fan suggests that at the end of the
Eastern League season, on the sun
day that the local management turns
the park over to the players Tor thelr
own benefit, no better attraction coulo
Do obtained as opponents than a team
of the best baseball talent TO
be had in Essex County. The letter
is as follows:
"Your column has contained many
good suggestions, but | have n that
has escaped you. l think that a team
of the best players in the
county, who are either playing pro
fessional or semi professional baseball
row., might be a fine opponent for the
local professional ball players for the
benefit game they have at the END OF
the season. There are many good men
to pick from. There is Hesterfer. Ham
bacher, Bertwhistle, he two MIXERS
Spcer. Zimmerman and Welsher, as
professionals, and a host OF good semi
professionals to be selected rom.
''Think this ov-r. Mr.. Duffy, and ask
Mr.. Stallings about it. l am sure a
record breaking crowd of adherents OF
the local boys as well as the profes-
SIGNALS would fill hat ground to over
flowing"
think the suggestion is a good one,
and | will see that Mr.. Stallirgs is told
of it. OF course, whether he thinks
favorably on It or not is another ques-
ton.
