Sense Common and Otherwise
BY CUB.
The Rich Mans SoIiloquy.

In parlor of palace grand
One night there sat alone,
A wealthy. grayhaired business man.
The palace was his home.
He possessed all earthly treasures.
Diamonds and gold galore,
Yet, he was not contented-
He longed for something more.
Twas not more gold or palaces
Nor diamonds that he sought;
1t was the longing to live again
His boyhood's happy lot.
AS he pictured home and mother
The tears came to his eyes.
And as the picture frightened
He thus soliloquized:
Way up North in Minnesota,
That's where I'd love to be.
The mention of that dear old name
Brings sweet memories to me.
There's homestead in wooded vale
LII lHdI IdI MOI StdtC,
Where loving mother used to meet
And kiss me at the gate.
There was loving father too.
who was so good and kind
And a happier home than that
never since could find.
But possessed lust for gold,
On riches was bent.
To seek these earthly treasures
Away from home I went.
But while these riches was gaining.
OF one kind and another,
1 lost treasure worth all else
A home and loving mother
Tho possess fine palaces
s. And riches by the score,
I'd give them all could 1 return
To that homestead just once more.
I'd give my gold and palaces,
Yes, all my earthly treasures.
Could enjoy but FOR day
My dear .boyhood's pleasures.
There's not a treasure on this earth
Can ever bring such bliss,
AS found when was boy.
In a loving mothers kiss.
Gold and diamonds cannot bring
Such happiness to me,
AS knew when n at night said
My prayers at mothers knee
And ere the vision passed away
The rich man was no more;
He'd passed into eternity
His dream of youth was DER.

binatiol of Manager Frank worked
like charm. Beaumont and Dab
len got seven hits between them.
Bowerman was not in the game.
Smith taking his place. Ferguson
and Mattern did the box work for
the Pigeons. Eighteen hits were
credited to Boston off Coveleski and
Moren.
The recent law passed by the
National Commission makes things
look serious for contract jumpers
and holdouts. Any player not re-
porting to his club before May l.,
1909, will not be allowed to make
an application for reinstatement
for three years. The enforcing OF
this law means that il King, Evers
and Donlin fail to report to their
clubs before the first Of May they
will be unable to play in organized
base bail until 1912. Italso means
that cheap skate managers can re-
duce salaries without losing their
players.
National News-Brooklyn start
ed the season by beating New
York on the Polo grounds in an
extra inning contest. The Trolley
Dodgers look fifty percent better
than a year ago. The Polo grounds
have been remodeIled and are now
the largest of their kind in the
country. Reports say thirty thou
sand is the seating capacity. OHara.
Murray and Herzog, make up the
Giants new outfeld. Last years
infield remains intact. Merkle,
Schafer and Devore will do the
utility stunt. Meyers, Schlei and
Snodgrass will take care of the
backstop work. McGraw will carry
eight twirlers.
Sixteen thousand Windy City
bugs saw the Cubs defeat Bresna-
hans Cardinals in the initial strug-
gle. Overall started where he left
off last fall. Zimmerman, Evers'
successor was the man who prac-
tically won the game. Tim stopped
couple drives that looked like
sure hits and made slashing triple
when most needed. Moran did
the back stop work while Geo.
Browne filled Slagle's place in
center. Lush was on the slab for
st. Louis and pitched good ball but
errors by Osteen and Byrne proved
costly. Bresnahan and Delahanty
where the only Cardinals to reach
first. Manager Roger is very we'll
pleased with his team and expects
to finish stronger than last year.
Cardinal bugs are anxiously a wait
ing the opening game at st. Louis.

with a bad arm. John McGraw
saws he's never claimed pennant
before it was won and he never
will. Manager Husk Chance says
he will trade King any time he
thinks he will get an even break
Bresnahan turned down his OLD
chiefs offer of Benny Meyers and
Cocash. The Tigers gave Barney
Petty Of the Browns an awful beat
ing at the Dallas game. Managers
whose teams played exhibition
games with the Giants say they are
very fast on bases. Seybold anc
