For the Guidance of the Court

Baseball finds IFS devoteeS in all sta
tionS and all ranks of society. Not even
silk-gowned judges are immune to the
infection. An interesting case is report
ed by the New York Sun as occurring on
one ofthe days ofthe big worlds series"
last fall.
Frantic cheers from the crowd round
bulletin-board opposite the postoffice
building drowned the voice OF the assist
ant district attorney, who was examining
a witness in a case being tried in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court. There was
restless stirring of spectators and court
officers alike.
The cheers were repeated, and the
judge frowned and called one of the dep
uty marShalS to the bench, and there
whispered to him. Every one in the
courtroom thought that the judge was
giving orders to secure silence. The
deputy marshal hurried from the room,
went down to a window at lhe end Of the
corridor, then returned and whispered to
the Judge.
"Three TO three in the first half OF the
TENTH" is what he whispered. Zone
out, Lord at bat, and a man on first"

Judge Frank W. Nesbitt, of Wheeling,
W. Va, Judge of the first judicial circuit,
recently made the following statement !:
al will say this: have repeatedly said
that believed that at least eight out Of
every ten criminal cases which have
come directly under my observation can
be traced either directly or indirectly to
liquor. do not mean to say that in all
of these cases there was evidence that
some one was drunk, but do mean that
somewhere along the line during the in
vestigation it appeared in each case that
someone was drunk, or that some one
was reduced TO poverty by reason Of the
drunkenness of some one else, or that
some one was degenerated in moral char
acter and will power by the influence Of
liquor-in short, that the crime under in
vestigation was in some way or other
linked with the liquor traffic generally as
a result"

Tentative Eleven
400 POUNDS OF TACKLE

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Sept I'll
Coach Yost may not believe that the
change In the rules will result In very
much change In the style OF play, this
year, but II Is a significant fact that
when he selected three teams from
among the wolverine football squad
last evening he chose as tackles Ter
his first team, two men. each of
whom weighs over 200 pounds.
The men chosen for the tackle posi-
tions on the first eleven are Mchaie
and Cole. The latter weighs probably
210. pounds. and McHale weighs
few pounds less, Cole halls from
Cedar Springs, Mich, and last year
played a line position on the All
Fresh team. McHale Is from Logans-
port, Ind. and was a member OF the
reserve team. He was eligible las.
year, but was Handicapped by his
school work. Each of these men at
tracted the attention OF the coaches
by their splendid work last year. and
lit was no surprise when Yost picked
them for a trial on the varsity. Of
course the initial selection does not
mean that they will stick through
the season. but they will at least have
chance to make good. and In ma
jority OF cases Coach Yost is not mis-
taken I'm his first estimate or the
value OF a man.
But Il matters little whether these
men stick, or are showed OF the team
to make way for some better play
ers. Their selection Is an indication
that Yost realizes that he must have
>big tackles capable OF standing up
under the terrific hammering they
will receive under the style or play
which will develop because or the
new rules. With the exception OF
Paterson there Is not man on the
team the equal in weight OF these
youngsters. and IL size counts Tor
anything they ought to develop into
stars. Both are fast for big men
and look as though they would stand
a lot OF battering.
Torbet. who won his NJ last season
as substitute halfback, was put e
work with the second team, but u
will take some strenuous work e

"HE WHO LAUGHS ETC."

WHO WERE ONCE JOKES
Some of the Stars of Today
Were testers When
They Started
JOHN McGRAW is ONE
That Giant Leader Was Very
Much to the Wabbiy
When Kid
JOHN McGRAw is ONE

NEW YORK, Sept EVERY now
and then somebody bids young ball
players cheer up by saying that somo
OF the more prominent players of the
big leagues were once considered as
Jokes"
II may be true that they were con.
sidered as Jokes" by some who are
not over-conversant with the qualifi-
cations which so with good ball
player, but they were not considered
as Jokes" by manager who knew
the ball player in the rough.
Therein lies the difference between
the callow critic and the experienced
manager. Meyers, Marquard. Zim-
norman and Merkle were regarded
as jokes when they first broke in
says writer
Perhaps so by the unthinking. In
the case of three OF the men mention
ed there was one person who never
regarded them as Jokes" His name
is McGraw.
Merkle was the first of the three
to join the Giants. One day McGraw
told the writer, and II was only few
days after Merkle had joiaed the
team, that he had one OF the coming
first baseman of baseball tucked un-
der his wing ready TO take the place
OF McGann when McGann failed.
! There were some VINO failed to SEE
underlying the little crudeness which
Meyers exhibited when he first joir-
/ ed the Giants that he was better
every time that he stepped behind
/ the plate. Some OF these fellows
who poke fun at Meyers will take of
their hats TO him in about two years
more, said McGraw.
! The New York manager was asked
IL he would trade Marquard. Pre-
sumably some other manager was
trying to test him and see II he could
not obtain the left-hander. McGra "
spoke about 1t one afternoon in con-
versation. "So-and-So,' said he. II
/ think has been trying me out to see
III he can get hold of Marquard. None
of them will get him. He has the es-
,sentials for a, first-class pitcher, and
some morning he will wake up and
find II out. n ] can get two or three
victories under his belt he is madn
He'll stay with me until he proves
that he is as good as his physical
qualifications call for or he will quit
gray-headed He Is a natural left
hand pitcher of great skill, and I'm
tgoing to get him to believe It."
These players are not Jokes with
the New York manager. They are
mostly Jokes" with young men who
knew all about ball player after he
has made a reputation.
When McGraw first joined the Bal
timore team some one asked Hanlor
one day what he kept him for. Han
Ion looked up quietly and replied
Because some day he is going to be
one of the greatest ball players In
the United States"
II was also said that Hughie Jen
nings was Joke" when he began
to play. Baseball history is filled
with Jokes" but the politic man lets
somebody else do the labelling
