Woe, of an Old Time Writer.

High among unconventional writer's
stands William Prynne, London jour
nalist In the days when there were no
journals, days when bulky pamphlet
took the place of letter to ones ia
vorite newspaper. Prynne published
about 200 Of such pamphlets and Is
said to have averaged a sheet of print
a day throughout his life. And he
worked In quilt cap coming over his
eyes to shield them from the light and
stuck at his table all day, being served
with roll and pot Of beer every
three hours. And he reaped the re-
ward of his literary efforts in the
branding and pillory and ear cropping
that every political writer risked in
that age.

some good and there are men in

these men we must take off our

are trying to make the public be-

Park

Patrons of Chester Park have
hardly had an opportunity thus far
this season of properly inspecting
the many new amusement features
which Col |. M. Martin has install
ed thee. Arrangements have been
made for opening the Park on Sat
urdays and Sundays until the be
ginning of the regular season, May
10tl. 1t appears however that the
weather has not been conducive to
outdoor amusements and for this
reason the crowds have hardly been
of sufficient size to make Col.
Martin believe that his novelties
have undergone the necessary test.
During the preliminary season it
has always been the rule at Chester
to have the crowds pass judgment
on the new amusement features. so
that by the time the regular season
opened up, it could b. determined
which device had scored success
and which should be replaced by
others.
The management of Chester have
arranged this year to give its
patrons the best summer vaudeville
in the history of the park, and con-
tract has been closed with a Chi
cago booking agency who has con-
troll over the best acts playing the
summer time, and these will be
brought to Chester during the sum-
mer. AS in former years the vau-
deville will be a free attraction
along with the free band concerts
and motion pictures.

PITCHING PROBLEM
FOR HARRY SMITH

Results.
CAN'T SHAKE OFF THE JINX


TORONTO, Ont, May 1s.-The
speedometer on the Tiger machine,
which has dwindled down pretty
close to 900 since the Newark cham
p.ons began their annual spring So
journ in foreign chimes, is due to soar,
according to the men who manufac-
ture base hits. grab grounders and
coll curves while they wear Newark
uniforms. Another defeat suffered
saturday leaves the Bengals humping
along the ties, away off their old
track with a record of only one VIC
tory out Of eight games played.
Johnny Enzmann, the curly-haired
kid. hung up that lone credit mark
In Rochester, and he had to twirl a
shutout game to bring home victory.
Manager Harry Smiths dope of shift
ing the line-up worked like a charm
for time on Saturday. When tho
Bengals went into the ninth inning
they had a oae-run lead when the
inning ended. Newark was beaten by
one tally.
1t was simply another defeat by a
one-run margin, and the old ink
came back stronger than ever. The
trouble with the Tigers just now seems
TO be that the pitchers can't pitch
when the team is hitting, and the
team can't hit when the pitchers are
going good. which is trouble enough
to add a few gray hairs per inning to
Harry Smiths crop.
Another thing which has been
something of a handicap is the pie
thora of pitchers Smith has to work
Some of the peggers must be worked
in their turns and if they are not
used regularly cannot put forth their
best efforts. 1t is probable that from
row on Smith will rely on Enzmann,
Curtis. Holmquist and Smith Sher-
rod lost Saturday, but he had not
worked in such a long time that il
could hardly be expected of him to
bitch shutout ball. Manager Harry
smith continues to carry the same
cheerful air which has been his as a
winner and he is as optimistic as
ever.
Smith says that every team has a
slump some time or other and the
sooner the slump is out of a teams
system the better for the team.

yesterday when Frank Smith, former

treal with Frank Allen, a catcher, and
told President Sam Lichtenhein that
he would be glad to return to the
fold Lichtenhein said he would take
back Smith, but that he did not care
about Allen. Smith replied that
Allen, too, must be taken back. Just
what move the international League
will make on this turn of affairs re-
mains to be seen. The international
Leaguers claimed that players who
did not report the day the season
opened We're under suspension. At
the same time this opportunity is an
excellent one to break up the Fed

must be some good reason when
players are willing to return to the

SETBACK FOR IRONSIDES

A home-run clout by Joe Shields,
with two men on the bases, gave the
Worthington baseball club three runs
in the first inning. which proved just
enough to defeat the Bronx Minor
Leaguers, to 2, in the opening game
of the season at Pacific oval, yester-
day morning. Jim Dorch brought out
a strong lineup and it was quite evil
dent from the start that the Pump
Workers would inaugurate the season
with a victory, although the visitors
We're represented by several well
known metropolitan stars. The excel
lent work of Eddie Dorch, son of the
Worthington manager, was another
feature. He received the offerings OF
Pitcher Mallon like veteran, and his
throws to stop base-stealers and gem

A good crowd turned out to witness
the game. The box score:
