crows feet about his classic brow this
summer, and perhaps Harry feels his
wind getting a bit shorter as his fringe
grows sparserNon his noble crown.
Perhaps Jimmy Sheckard has for
| gotten how 1t feels to run back and
forth from his position in left before
and after innings as he used to. and
perhaps Jimmy measures his swats
carefully before wasting any superfiu-
GUS energy.
Perhaps Patsy Moran enjoys placid
| feeling of contentment instead of the
one time feeling of resentful disap-
| pointment when Manager Chance tells
Archer or Needham to go behind the
plate instead of Pat. The encroaching
years may have told upon these mem
bers of the worlds champion outfit, but
not so with Joe Tinker.
He's Young as Ever.
| The stubby, energetic shortfielder
who won the pennant for the Cubs last
year, with a timely swat over Sey-
mour's bean and then proved a promi-
nent factor in the winning of the
worlds series from the Tigers, is as
young as ever, as lively as ever and

ball field Joe is quiet individual with
little to say except when his jumps is
| attacked with opinions which differ
from Mr. Thinkers thinks. Off the ball
field Joe is the same quiet chap. TN
like the other members of the team,
Joe is perfectly willing to talk base
ball.
Always clad in the height OF fashion
without the furbelows of frills which
make some would be we'll dressers alb
surd spectacles, Sir Joseph is always
to be dependen upon for the proper
garb at the proper time. When the
stage is preached Joe is a bit shy.
you see, / haven't been affiliating
with the sacred planks behind the foot
lights for much more than one little
season" said Joe with smile when
he was asked If he, like the others,
possessed a desire to play Hamlet as
the lodestar of his ambition.
There is one thing that do claim,
however" continued Joe, land that is
that ] am the only masculine actor
who ever lasted a full season on the
stage without suffering from the Ham
let ambition. / never want to plav
Hamlet. Eggs and cabbages never APP
pealed to me, unless properly anchored
to dishes and platters, and If / tried to
play Hamlet 1t would certainly be
vegetable night"
There are two things I'll distinctly
admit admit that I'm an actor, and
good actor at that also admit that
I'm no William Gillette or e. H Soth-
ern / think an actor Is good actor
when he knows his limitations.
Better to Lose.
But let's get back TO baseball where
am at home. DO you know | think
1t would be good thing for baseball
and our league If our team did not win
the pennant this year. Out in Chicago
the people are used to seeing us get
away with the honors and year or
two of close finishes with us near the
top will make Chicago wild over base
ball again in two or three years and
more ready to appreciate winner.
Don't muss me up now and get the
| idea that our team Is quitting. We
are not and we are going to trim Pitts
burg IL II can be done. 1t means so
much more money for us players, and
ball players do not throw away chances
to make money, especially worlds
championship coin.
Chicago is not baseball mad this
year, and there win not be the keen
disappointment this year In our city Ii
we fail to win that there would have
been in the years that we have won.
IF it's possible wen romp away
