The Game.

Let's play 1t out-this little game called Life
Where we are listed for SO brief SPELL;
Not just to win, amid the tumult rife
Or where acclaim and gay applauses swell;
Not just to conquer, where some one must lose
Or reach the goal, whatever be the cost;
For there are other, better ways to choose
Though in the end the conflict may be lost.
Let's play It out-this little game called Work
Or War or Love Of what part each may draw;
Play with the smash that scorns to quit or shirk
Because the break may carry some deep flaw;
Not simply holding that the goal Is all
Which keeps the player in the contest staying
But stick 1t out from curtain rise to fall
As II the game itself were worth the playing.

'Tf the amateur commission Will not
allow us to withdraw from the Capital
City League and we are not allowed to
enter the Columbia League, the Pump
ing Station team will play Independent
: ball for the rest OF the season. said
Manager Moeller, of the Pumping Sta
ton team today.
Some weeks ago we wanted to get
out Of the league. There were a num-
ber of reasons. First, because We un-
derstand the Seamen Gunners have been
playing games without a single man
registered under contract with the ANA
teur commission. The Gunners have
now withdrawn, and during the past
three weeks practically no one has been
In attendance at the games" continued
Manager Moeller.
The Pumping Station leader said his
team had been wanting to get into the
Columbia League for some time. and
had been asked to enter. The fact that
the Gunners had Withdrawn and the
Capital City circuit appeared to be on
the rocks for the past few weeks finally
brought the team to its decision.
The matter will be taken up with the
amateur commission at the first opper-
tunity and the Pumpers will in all prob
ability state their case. George Cornell
who has the interest of the Cornell
company team did not know anything
about the withdrawal of the Pumping
Station team. He stated that he had
been given assurances that the teams
would remain in the league.
1t has been known for some time that
the Capital City League games have
been drawing poorly. The attendance
has brought little or no revenue into
the Golfers Of the league and improve
mentss made this year and last season
have not been paid for by what little
has been taken at the gate.
The Cornell Company team, many
times winner of the pennant in the
Capital City League, and looked upon
this year as the logical candidate for
the city championship and the right
to meet the winners Of the other cities
In the intercity series, may not be
able to enter the post-season games.
The Cornell Company team has OBJ
tained a big lead In the Capital City
League and is far ahead on strength
shown this season. In former years
the Tigers have shown strength and
have not been the most popular team
In the city. 1t Is said this year that
the team Is practically unbeatable in
the circuit and for this reason other
teams are said to be afraid Of the lead
era.
At the present time it begins to look

Bandits Take on
Cincinnati Today

Kid Caseys Bandits will go up
against the Cincinnati team today with
a slightly changed lineup. King Brady
will pitch and Mcdonald will catch.
The game which the Ohioans took
from the Washington aggregation by 6
to was the first that the local team
had played since It's reorganization
and the players were neither used to
each other nor the field.
owen and Mcdonald were the bat
terry for Washington and they worked
well together, considering the fact that
1t was their first game.
Bugs Raymond rather fell down
for Cincinnati, he having been taken
out of the box in the third ses-
sion. Dasnet took up the work for the
visitors and held the bandits to no
scores for the remainder of the fray.

cause considerable interest. The Mon
treal first sacker has been tried In
the big league before and was shipped
for further seasoning. Griff has been
fortunate with the players now on the
team, who have made good after big
league trials. Moeller and Foster have
done wonderful work on their comeback
performances and there is no reason to
doubt but that Gandil will also make
the running.

Needle In a Haystack.

"a bottle of hay" was formerly
much used in Derbyshire, England
and probably is so still, to denote a
bundle of hay, which was taken from
a rick to fodder cattle in field. When
it was difficult to find anything that
had been lost, the farmer folk were
wont to say: "You may as we'll hunt
for it as for q needle in a bottle of
hay"
Sometimes the rope tied round the
hay had a piece of wood with an eye
in it at one end. through which the
rope was passed to tie up the bundle,
and sharp point at the other end,
and this piece of wood may have been
called q needle; II SO, needle of this
kind may have been referred to In
