Manager Harry Smith intended to
leave this week to make arrangements
for the training trip, but the delay in
holding the annual meeting of the
Newark Club prevented his trip. Next

Frank Smith, of Montreal, and Bill
Bailey, of Providence, were the iron

last week by the Brooklyn Club
Harry Smiths success in developing
twirlers like Dent, Aitchison and
other fingers who lacked fnesse
when they came over to New
ark has made an impression on Pres
ident Charles II. Ebbets and he now
believes that Smith is something OF
q sorcerer because of the wonderful
results Harry has had.
Mysterious MITCHELL Walker is a
real wizard of the diamond IL there
ever was such a phenomenal party.
They say he shoots over the plate
brand of benders and moist ball
shoots that defy the laws of gravita-
ton and atmospheric resistance to
such an extent that had he been
alive in the days of Salem's witch
craft he might have been accused
of being q master of the black art.
Manager Smith says that he be-
lieves he can teach this Walker some
thing about control by compelling
him to throw a ball constantly for
accuracy without attempting to make
n bend" or break" Last fall

his new pitcher.

Walkers wild proclivities In the
twirling line he suggested that Harry

a game on Thanksgiving Day that
is attracting unusual interest locally
Is that between Central High School
and st. Benedict's College. The con-
test is said to be for the city cham
pionship by virtue of the fact that the
combatants have between them de-
feated all of the other schools of the
city, with the exception of Barringer,
which was, however. tied 6 to by
Central on election day. Taking ad-
vantage of the long-felt want for a
game staged at a reasonable hour on
Thanksgiving Day the rival local
schools will lineup at 10 o'clock be-
fore a predicted record crowd at the
City Athletic Field.
Although this Is the first year of
football in st. Benedict's the two
teams appear to be unusually well
matched and the outcome of the con-
test is causing considerable discus

game to date, the lone defeat suf-
fered being at the hands of the

Cross vs. Side Saddle
BY BLANCHE BEACON

We hear a great deal said nowadays about the respective merits of cross saddle and side-sadd1e riding. Cross saddle, as you know, is merely anoth- CT term for riding astride.''
 want to tell you what a famous riding teacher once said to me.
 "Of ten women who ride side-sad- dle,' he said (this was quite while ago, when the crosS-sadd1e was just beginning to come into it's own)

my school that are used to teach novices to ride, after they have been used for a dozen lessons or so, I send to the farm to rest up. Their shoUI- ders are always in a bad condition from the unnatural weight placed on them. I have seen splendid animals absolutely ruined in this way.
 F'The time will come, when side saddle will be discarded entirely in fla vor of the sensible crcss-saddIe.''
 And now let me tell you how the side-saddle came into being.
 A certain French Queen-a very long time ago, I have forgotten the dates-had a deformed hip. In those days ladies wore divided skirts and rode astride. But this Queen, be- cause her injury would not permit her to ride naturally, rode unnatural1y, and insisted upon all her ladies riding on a side-saddle as well as herself Thus, the silly fashion began.
