White Elephants into the championship

Brown won thirteen and lost eleven
games in 1912, while the towheaded
Houck broke even with eight won and
eight lost. Connie believes this is good
work for the first year in the big
league.
II have a pretty good ball club" says
Connie, but so much hangs on the
work Of the pitchers that I hesitate to
say what we'll do next season. If my
pitchers stand UP to the pace required,
We should be In the fight for the PEN
nant. If they don't, 1t will mean a lot
of experimenting with youngsters.

can succeed In doing this he will be
able to finish among the first three in

Jack Connolly, who led the Hilltop

Manager Thomas Harrington, OF the
Georgetown University baseball team.

1t has been several years since the
Midshipmen have been able to score .

accordingly the Sailors will exert every
effort on May to break the winning
streak of the Blue and Gray ball

according to reports emanating from
Annapolis. and as a large squad Of

are hopeful Of turning out a nine that

best that the intercollegiate world has

Coach Harley, OF the Blue and Gray

certain that the West End institution
has picked up a point winner in the
Prescott youth.
Harry Costello is likely to break into
the scoring this year in the sprints as
well Is in the pole vault. The gridiron
captain is getting away with nice starts
for his dashes, and. as he has an abun-
dance of speed when once under way,
there seems to be no reason for be-
leNng that the Meriden athlete will not
be able to at least place in several Of
the dash events which he enters this
year. Last year Harry won several of
his heats In the dashes. but failed to
place in the finals.
Eddie Chapman reported yesterday in
fine shape, and expects to experience his
best season this year. The former
Fordham University half-miler Is close
to weight at the present time, and

What Indeed?

What Is SO day In spring?
Then, IL ever come perfect days;
When the base hits and the rafters ring
With the yelp Of the bugland praise.
Every dub feels a stir OF might,
An instinct within him that reaches high,
And swinging blindly to catch right
He tries to develop batting eye
Then Is the high tide Of the year
And whatever of life has ebbed away
Comes ripping back at the old-time cheer
At the sight of springs first double play.
