PRAISE FOR YANKEES BOSS
StaIIings Declares Frank Chance Has
Finally Developed Real Contender
-Lauds Caldwell.

Big Chief Stallings, the leader OF the
Braves, figures Frank Chances New
Yorks as the real dark horse of the
American league.
Chance is one of the greatest lead
ers in the game" said Stallings, in
commenting on the club. 1T has taken
a whole lot of nerve, and whole lot
of executive ability to do what he has
done. He simply cleaned house with
all the dead wood Wolverton left and
within a year he has built up what
strikes me as one of the best balanced
clubs in the Johnson circuit.
There is no one in the American
league that has any better pitchers
than Chance. To my mind he has the
greatest pitcher in the game in Cald-
we'll That fellow has the greatest
curve ball ever saw, and he has al
most as much speed as Johnson. Fish
er is rafting pitcher. / am told
that the young fellows who came aft
or left are equally promising. Their
work to date has shown it true.
ED Sweeney is not travelling be-
yond his speed. For me in 1910 he
was the best catcher in the American
league. But the greatest player of all
that Chance dug up is Jimmy Walsh.
There is an outfielder for you, one
of the very best in the game. How
Frank ever got him away from the
calculating Connie Mack I cannot fig
ure. A manager has only to have a
few players of the Walsh stamp to
make a team.
Where Chance really made his
team was in the acquisition of Trues-
dale. may be prejudiced but I
think he is better ball player than
Maisel. He is as good a fielder as
Maisel and will outhit him, too, in
seasons stretch. Though no faster
than Truesdale, Maisel is the better
base runner. Fritz is one of the best
base runners in the country. But

"Lons" John Reilly and Harry William
lie Gore Expected to Play With
Some Big League Team.

Two Yale baseball players will wear
big league uniforms within year. At
least they have received several offers
and one of them admits that he ex-
poets to accept one of the bids.
The pair are Long" John Reilly, the
Yale third baseman, and Harry Will
liam LIE Gore, who has been called the
has entered Yale in twenty years. He
comes from Mercersburg academy,
where he was captain of the baseball,
football and basketball teams. He is
a shortstop, and has been elected cap
tain of the freshman nine. His home
on the freshman football eleven and
made record as drop kicker. He has
received an offer of $4,000 a year from
Connie Mack, and is likely to accept
the offer after he finishes his Yale ca
reer. He is not eligible for the varsity
at shortstop before he leaves college.
He has averaged one home run and
three hits in every game yet played
for the freshmen.
Reilly is the star of the present Yale
team. He is batting for .440 and is a
whirlwind at the dizzy corner He is
easily the leading third baseman of
the intercollegiate arena. Last year
he led the Yale nine at the bat. He
has offers from the New York Ma
tionals and Americans, the Philadel-
phia Athletics and both Boston mines.
His home is in Brockton, and he is a
brother of Barney Reilly, the former
Chicago White Sox, and of Jim Reilly,
the former Yale halfback and left field
er. Reilly will almost certainly cap
tain the Yale nine next season, after
which it is whispered that he will
probably be found in a New York uni
form. McGraw is said to have made
him the greatest offer ever rendered to
any college player. He was not in
clined to play professionally till this
offer, rumored to be about $4,000, was
made him, but it is said to have led
him to think more seriously Of ulti-
mately becoming professional.

A delightful way of serving oranges
to an invalid is to press all the juice.
into a glass with a lemon squeezer;
add pulverized sugar to taste and
serve with chopped ice. If fresh fruit
is denied patient, stewed fruit may
be permitted. In order to secure the

invalids will relish, wash and quarter
the apples, remove the cores and
stems and stew gently without pairing.
Then press the soft mass through a

The dominating instinct in man is
fear and this is why self-contempla-
ton is dangerous. There are many
store rooms in the basement of mans
consciousness, commonly known as
the sub-conscious mind, and in these
dark and forgotten corners many
strange things are stored, only wait
ing for the opportunity when they
may come forth to puzzle and con-
found us.
There is nothing mysterious or ter
rible about the subconscious phenom-
ena If, with a full knowledge of the
laws of the universe, of which we are
a part, we frankly consider ourselves
a link in the chain of life extending
from an incomprehensibly remote past
to an equally incomprehensible and re-
mote future.
We deem it not at all strange, mere
" because we happen to be familiar
with the fact, that there are handed
down to us strong memories out of the
remote past in the form of striking re-
semblances to a grandparent, or to

still more remote. All inherited traits
are but cell memories; then why
strange or mysterious that there should
be handed down to US in the same way
and from the same source out of that
misty past, dim memories, vague AMI
nebular. but none the less memories,
of a past long left behind in the adj
vancing consciousness of the race?
In these latent impressions will be
found the key to the very pitiful truth
that the dominant impression in the
mind of man is that of fear, and that
this is undoubtedly the source of those
so-caIled causeless terrors of early
childhood coming at a period before
terror should be known, and IN later
years coming to us so furtively In the
night and in all weakened conditions
