MAILER PREDICTS WINNING
STREAK FOR HIS BALL TEAM
Locals Will Have Siege Of Double-Headers
Next Week-Henry Will Probably
Become Regular First Basennan.

1t develops that Manager McAleer
waived on Pitcher Frank Smith. who is
now pitching for Cincinnati. II seems
that McAleer received a telegram from
john L. Taylor asking that he waive on
Smith a personal favor. and he did.
Next week will be one of doube-head-
erS on the local grounds The rules
provide that postponed games must he
played on the second trip to a city. That
means that Boston will play two games
Monday. having a postponed game from
the first trip here. Tuesday there
two games scheduled. one being played
in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Wednesday the New York team comes
here for one day. but as the Hishlanders
also have a postponed game here. a dou-
ble-hcader will be played on this day.
There are six games in three days. and
this is going to be heavy tax on the
pitchers. Most every man on the staff
will have TO be pressed into service, and
should any one of them be knocked out
some one will have to work overtime
during this epidemic of double-headers-
Boston plays five games i'm row here
and IL may be fortunate break for the
Nationals that Iris Speaker is not in the
lineup. Patsy Donovans team has 81
ways been hard nut for the locals I'm
crack, and anything that will weaken i
gives McAleer's men better chance.
Having Speaker out of the way does not
help the Hubbites. for he has always
PLAYED brilliantly the local grounds,
for il he did not hit ne made his pres
ence felt by his sensational fielding.
This is McAleers explanation of why
Hogan and Mclean were secured by ST.
Louis: When we were over in Philadel-
phia carly this season i asked Connie
Mack what he intended to do with Hogan,
and he told me that he proposed to carry
him. The next thing / heard he had
been sold to st. Louis. Chicago bought
Mclean for so much down and something
like $4,000 to be paid. il retained. Chi
cago did not want to pay this additional
amount because it did not consider Me-
loan worth that much. 81. Louis needed
man and took over the contract with
the Springfield club. from which Mclean
came. / did not think he was worth the
price, and / still don't"

BY j. ED GRILLO

Jim McAIeer looks FOR winning streak
from the Nationals He believes that his
team will show TO much better ADVANTAGE
during its long stretch of games at home,
which begins with the game with Boston
today The fac. that his pitchers have
rounded into form makes his team strong
er than il has been at any time this
spring.
I'VE will move up in the race from this
out" said he I'VE are in better shape
nov than ne have been and with our
pitchers in form and the team showing
more with the bat ne will be hard to
beat
McAleer proposes 10 play Henry AT
first today and Street behind the bat
Henry has shown so much improvement
in his hitting that McAleer has cone to
the conclusion that lie is the most val
uable man he has for first base. If
Henry's hitting is kept up TO the standard
he set on the recent trip McAleer does
not intend 10 look any farther for a first
baseman, for Henry will fill the bill to
perfection.
For the present there will be no other
changes in the lineup. though unless
Bill Cunningham gets into his stride be-
fore Kid Elberfeld gets back In the game
he is apt TO be benched. McAleer figures
that rest will do Cunny a world of good.
Things have been breaking poorly for him
all spring. and IL is telling on him. If he
could view a few games from the bench
he might regain his spirit and confidence.
But Elberfed is not Yet ready to play.
His leg is still too sore to allow him to
get into the game. and in the meantime
Cunningham may round into form.
Long Tom Hughes is slated to oppose
Boston today. while either Collins or
Cicotte will probably pitch for the Wis
itors. Hughes is believed to be in better
condition now than he has been at any
time this season. and he is expected to
pitch winning ball from this out. The
game will be called at o'clock.

generally supposed, has aroused
much discussion. He himself finds
it perfectly possible to get along
habitually with six hours, and when
he has much work on hand, with
four. This is true of the time that
he was writing The Science of
Happiness. ? DR.. Williams how
ever, said recently that he believes
in regularity as the keynote of
success in acquiring good habits of
sleeping. A person who retires
tonight at ten, tomorrow night
at twelve, the next at nine, and SO
on through the week, can scarcely
be said to have any habits of sleep
ing. He simply fulflls the impair
alive function of sleeping because
he must, and when he may. While
such customs are continued he can
never know how much sleep.he re-
quires, nor how to secure it to best
advantage.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1911-08-31

THE likes and dislikes which we
bear in regard to others seem most
usually to rest upon some caprice
or whim and not upon any sensible
reason whatever. The outward APP
perances of an individual do not,
as general rule, account for the
like or dislike we feel toward him.
Neither do his environments,
circumstances or learning furnish
excuse for our feeling.
We cannot say that we recipro-
cate another's feeling toward us,
for we often like those who dislike
us and vice versa. Nor do we nee
essarily always like those to whom
we are under obligations because
of benefits received of them. Graf
itude may create a likeing some
times, but not as a general rule.
Those to whom we are bound by
some tie, whether of social, bust
ness, or family life, do not always
command our affection. Yet it can
not be said that such bond creates
dislike.
How often do we hear impulsive
persons say that they are prone to
dislike people whom they feel they
should like, but they are unable to
give a reason why they dislike
them. There are also many people
who seem to be able to train their
likes and dislikes in the direction
of their duty.
If any one has ever discovered q
law governing the likes and dislikes
of human beings toward one an
other, he must be the same individ-
.ual who has discovered the law Of
chance and perhaps the two are
identical.

EVERYONE knows that cheerful
words cost little, but how much
good they do; how they drive away
melancholy, Danish gloom, and
ease pain. The man who goes
about saying them does more for
those about him, by the simple
fact of his CHEEKY disposition, and
his habit of cheering up the moody
and imparting courage to the for
lorn, than can be done by a hundred
others who seek to console with
proverbs only. There is many a
time that life has seemed hardly
worth the living to those of us who
have found trouble and sorrow and
to whom the winds of fate have
brought loss and wreck. But al
ways when the times are darkest,
as though guided by the hand of
providence, along comes, with his
his smile. his glad hand, his look
of genuine interest, one of those
blessed dispensers of CHEEKY words.
He does not say much perhaps,
but in passing on he leaves behind
him an impression of good COM
radship and sympathy. The man
he meets is encouraged and he goes
his way with renewed strength to
meet whatever there may be to en-
counter.
