Southland makes its second appear
Rnce in the intersectonal series today
the Cornell team being its opponent.
While no one disputes the fact that
Cornell and the Bankers are the two
teams that will fight 1t out for the
District championship, fans are prone
TO overlook the Southland team.
Manager Litchfield has corralled a
bunch of players who are on the job
every minute of the time, and even
though Southland doesn't win, the
teams against which 1t plays do not
have any walkover.
The weakness of Southland is in the
box. there being but two twirlers on
its list Ltchfeld and Ebert are the
Fingers, and neither one is on form at
the present time. AS a fielding aggre-
cation, this team is as good as the rest
of them, but in the box its weakness is
apparent at the start.
Manager Cornell is working with the
same old machines that he has had all
year, and will probably work Bernie
Gallagher in the points with Lefty
Wooden as reserve Southland will have
Ebert in the box.
Tomorrow will be the big day, Cornell
meeting the Bankers in the first Of
their two games together. These two
contests will close-and the fans dom I
want to miss them.
The intersectional games start at g..

Tips From, Cy Young

We'll, II a fellows got good, COM
mon sense, and keeps his eyes
open, he doesn't need much ad-
vice from ME, or anybody else.
But here are a few maxims that
look good to me, from my own
experience:
Be earnest
Cut out dissipation. Form regu-
lar habits.
Keep In condition all the year
round.
Remember that your mind has
got to be ON your work, If you
are to succeed.
Never let the important fact es-
cape you that you are In the
game to play ball, not to help
with the umpiring. Let the um-
pireS earn their salaries, and
you earn yours.
Bear in mind that you will prob
ably live some years after you
quit playing ball, and save your
money.
