Is just because they're blind,
Blind and bothered and busy,
Harried by toll and strife,
For work and fret is the game
they get
All of the years of life.
They do good deeds in silence,
Hiding their love away,
And few are told of the hearts
of gold
Throbbing in mortal clay,
The hearts that always answer,
Hearing the rightful call
People are pretty good people,
Taking them all in all!

M'DONALD RETURNS
TO PERILOUS CORNER
.LOOKOUTS SPURT Up
INTO SECOND PLACE
DURING PAST WEEK

Atlanta, June t5.-Unexpected re-
versals of form, sensational spurts and
general shakeup in the percentage col
umn have been the features of the South
ern association pennant race during the
past week
BY all odds the most remarkable event
has been the spectacular sprint of Elber-
feld's Chattanooga club, which forged
into second place, and new leads Atlanta
by narrow margin. The chief agency
in accomplishing this. has been excellent
work of CoYeleski, whose pitching thus
far eolipses anything that he has done
since his advent to the league.
Mobile playing to form. continues to
lead the league. having won 10 games
in 63 played. Chattanooga. as the re-
suit of having defeated Nashville today,
stands almost 100 points below Manager
Mique Finn's team. A series of de-
feats has forced Nashville to drop from
second to fifth place. Montgomery lead
ing Manager Schwartz's club by only
small margin. Memphis, by losing today
to Montgomery, stands in possession of
seventh place.
The fight for the title of tail enders''
continues between Birmingham, Memphis
and New Orleans, the latter club still
retaining it's firm hold at the foot of the
column. Unusually cold weather during
the week failed to chill the enthusiasm
of the FANS" although baseball ex-
perts attribute many of the upsets of
the last seven days to the drop in tenn
perature With the return of seasonable
weather today the coming week is sure
to prove an interesting one throughout
the league.

THE BRITISH POLO
TEAM DECIDES NOT
TO PLAY THIRD GAME

Hampstead, N. Y, June 15.-As the
challenging English polo team. de-
feated by so close a margin in yes
national trophy, will leave for home on
Thursday, a week earlier than had been
intended, plans for a third match be-
tween the British players and the
substitute American team have been
cancelled. Captains Ritson and Lockett
will go to India to rejoin their regi-
ments after a brief visit in England.
Lord Wodehouse. the substitute British
player, will remain in this country for
some weeks hunting game in the
Rockies and in the Canadian north

The English players took part in

probably be their last appearance in the
United States. Their ponies will be
shipped next Saturday to England and
sent to the estate of the Duke of West

though he was employed only until UNI

advocated his retention.

Lookouts Open a Three Game Seige
From the Angle Of the Bug
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

@oNFRoNTED by five litiga-
tions, which threaten the very
existence of organized ball.
the dear old game has strenuous ses-i
sion before 1t. Aiming for its most
vulnerable spot. the five foes threaten
to expose the inward workings of the
great game Whether organized base
ball will be able to ward off the art
full thrusts without mortal wound is
a matter of conjecture. But before
many weeks The real status of the
national game will have been deter
mined.
The five blows aimed are:
Suit of the Plavers' fraternity, rep
resenting Pitcher Casey Hagerman.
The prospective suit of Jack O'Con-
nor against the st. Louis American
club and the other seven organiza-
tions.
The suit instituted against the Gin
cinnati club and the National Asso-
citation of Professional Baseball
leagues by the Govington Baseball as
sociation.
The willing ana weak exposure o
Horace Fogel.
Gallagher resolution asking for in
vestigation OF baseball by Congress.
The first blow demands back salary,
to the amount of S14Oo, for Pitcher
Casey Hagerman. 1t is a legal in
quiry as to whether a club has a right
to bench indefinitely a player under
contract without pay, without allow
ing him his release or right to seek
work with other teams.
The so-dubbed "freeze-out'' is sub
jected to a test, by the proposed suit
of former Manager Jack O'connor
of the st. Louis Browns. O'Connor
alleged that he was forced out Of
baseball by the nlonopolistic workings
of baseball. He proposes to expose = e
system 'of making slaves -
poor players and intends to aaie
vitals of baseball.

to establish a team within this limit
the Blue Grass league was run to the

More firmly intrenched to withstand the
onrush of Elberfeld's squirting Lookouts
by the return of Eddie Mcdonald the
Barons will begin a three game siege this
afternoon. The victories over the Volun-
teers put a determination into the Barons
to attain first division and Moley's gal
lants will fight fercely to cop the series
from the Lookouts.
The plucky third sackers crippled digit
has about healed ard, as he was anxious
to return to the fray, the Baron pilot de-
cided to add his willow welding strength
Immediately. EicDonald's timely wallops
have been missed at the third corner in
spite of Carrolrs effective playing and his
return will have an invigorating effect.
The third finger of Eddie's heaving arm
was put out Of commission during prac-
tice before Wednesdays game by a fast
bounding grounder.
In all probability, Kid Elberfeld will
dispatch Hurting Hun Covaleski to the
mound "Wednesday with Bill prough as
his prospective opponent. The wonderful
Pole has captured his ninth straight vic
tory, while Prougn has just won his third
straight. When the elongated hurler OF
the Barons and tho Hurting Hun stage
the battle. it will be one of the greatest
pitching duels ever staged this season.
The game will prove wonderful drawing
card should Covalesld twirl.
AS Elberfeld has changed the personnel
of the Lookouts consistently since his last
appearance here, the local bugs will get
to see many new players in action. At
the third corner, Graft, secured from the
majors will cavort for the 'Noogans. On
his pitching staff is Grimes. secured by
the Tigers and shunted to the Lookouts
from the Central association. In the
bushes the young pitcher had an un-
beaten record and was sold for $500. AS
he downed the Volunteers yesterday it
is hardly PROBABLE that he will be seen
in action against the Barons.
In the outfield Elberfeld has held on
to Elston and King, but in Johnson he
has another new acquisition. Mickey
Coyle Flick and the Boss are guarding
their old positions, while Graf has sue
ceeded Gillespie, who was retired from
the game by Hardgrove on misplaced
slant.
Hannah and Noyes have been disposed
of as backstops, but the kid is holding on
to "Gabby' Street His college battery
of Howell and Breaux are slated to join
'Noogan pilot has used nearly twice as
many players IS the Barons in perfecting
his line up. Kroh has been added to his
moundsmen, while Summers will make
his local debut With the Lookouts.

this afternoon with Thompson slated to
work for the Barons against Kroh re-

In a general way the same holds true

Quakers We're defeating Cincinnati, the
Giants were having a far more difficult

as the lawsuits.
Fogeis exposure is as sob from a
downed fighter. Long the champion
of baseball and an advocate of its
powers, Fogel was forced out of the

ly. Horace is a weak sister with the
reforming bludgeon.
While the proposed legal entangle-
ments win hardly cause the death
rattle OF the game, several minor
changes are likely to be made. The
present system is not aimed as A
weapon of anslavement against the
players, but as protection of the
game. Unless the players were placed
under the present form of the CON
tract, chaos would reign supreme in
every league and the malcontents
would wreck the sneat sport
