THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW

They sing about the glories of the man
behind the gun,
And the books are full of stories of the
wonders he has done
There's something sort o thrilling Ill
the flag that S wavin high.
And it makes you want to holler when
the boys go marching by
But wheu the shoutin's and the
fghtns done somehow
We find we're still dependin' the
behind the plow.
In all the pomp and splendor Of an
army parade
And through the awful darkness that
the smoke Of battle made,
In the halls where jewels glitter and
where shOutin' men debate,
In the palaces where the rulers deal
out honors to the great
There's not single person who'd be
dom business now
Or have medals, if it wasn't for the
man behind the plow.
We're a building mighty cities and
we're gaining lofty heights,
We're winning lots of glory and we're
scttn things to rights.
We're slown all creation how the
worlds affairs should rum
Future men will gaze in wonder at the
things that do have done,
And they'll overlook the feller, just
the same as we do now
Who's the whole concerns foundation
that's the man behind the plow

sisted on talking back Finally, they
cornered him, and he was up against

1t occurred to Mails that Vancou-

it would be good to josh about that.
"All right" accordingly, was his re-
ply. We will take back your pen

Inside of couple of seconds there

that the pennant ne had referred to

between the British flag and a base

Chicago White SoX than those OF any

consider is also OH Comiskey's pay

distinctions He is the smallest man

upholds the old adage OF good things

He has, in his pitching repertoire,

what he will throw me now, a fast.

That is something TO. figure out. for
Cicotte can throw any one OF these
balls as effectively as the other. Dan
Murphy. former captain of our elnb.
once told me that he considered CT
cote the hardest pitcher to bat
against he had ever faced, and a man
of Murphy's long experience ought to
have a baseball opinion of some
weight "Knuckles" is Cicotte's nick
name, and he comes by it because the
slow ball he throws is patterned after
the one Summers made famous. His
splitter, however, is his most effective
bail. and last year was really the best
of the six he has spent in the Ameri-
can League.
Before closing ! would like to make
mention of jim Scott. if for no other
reason than to say | believe he is the
