mainly upon veteran pitchers for the
last five years. but Mack's veterans
have swung on with a trifie more eclat.
Plank n Bender were better in 1911
than in 1906 or 1906. but Donovan

Whaling the cover off the ball is a
thick section OF the pastime. but as
long as the other clan is whaling
alongside. the advantage is likely to
be narrow or nit.

ACE OF RAIL PLAYERS

A ball player who has been in the
big league for a decade or more is
seldom believed when he tells his COR
rect age. according to Frankie Knabe,
who was in the midst of a talk session
here. Men who started their careers
when they We're under 81 and are
around 80 now are called old men,
knabe says. Among the fans who go
to see them play are men who were
with a foul ball when the players
started. Therefore. they think the
stars are actually old men.
81 started my professional baseball
career when I was Very young said
Knabe. II suppose in eight or nine

than Sherwood. and it is easily seen
how he was in knickerbockcrs when
the star left gardner began his career

But the argument stopped there
while Magec chased Kutz to chastise
him for infcrring that Sherwood was

New York, March 1a.-The near APP

England in particular is keen to re-

THE MERRY HEN.

The highwayman of olden days was wont to haunt the lonely ways, upon his prancing steed, and when a traveller. came by, the robber said, Shell out or die, and show your highest speed" And, having swiped the pilgrims roll, he galloped off, gay, jaunty soul, some damsel fair to see; a little while he went his way and then upon some dismal day he graced the gallows tree. The robber of these modern times don't ride the highway for his dimes, or flourish nlunedrbuss; he has a handsome, gIlded lair and by his wiles en- tIces there some unSuspecting tuss. Ard then he sells the vic tim shares in wireless fakes and other snareS, in moonlight and blue sky. For him no gallows creaks and groans; he robs his victims of their bones and winks the other eye. I like the old-time robber best; he had a bold heart in his breast, his life was in his hand; and even on the Scaffold he was finer than the crooks we see in this knave-riden land Walt Mason.
