Case of Chalmers Proves How
Easily Career Can Be Wrecked

The frailty of baseball life and the
quickness with which a career in the
big show may be ruined are shown
again in the case of George Chalmers,
the pitcher, who has just been re-
leased unconditionally by the Phila-
delphia National League club. This
action was taken by the Quaker man
agement because a seemingly incur
able ailment in his pitching arm
renders Chalmers useless for major
league service. Yet, only three years
ago, this man looked like one of the
hurlers in the country. He
was purchased with Bert Humphries

Thoughts on Game Of July 9Th
Written for The Evening Journal by
James 7. Crozier.

Are you folks very fond of eggsi
If so we've some for sale.
They all came from a Mother Goose,
We fear they will get stale.
When eggs become quite ancient,
Some think they lose their taste,
So we don't wish these ones of ours
Should ever go to waste.
Perhaps you know a team of boys
From York did visit here;
And when the thing was over
Sure, we all felt kind of queer.
For on the board were fifteen runs
Made by some awful licls,
While not a single one was there
For Jimmy Jackson's Chicks.
! heard fan say words like thisi
(He surely had a pain,
"If they don't make a run this time
"l'll never come again"
If he don't come inside the grounds,
But watches through the fence,
Your cash box win be surely out
just five and twenty cents.
But not withstanding such a score,
Just let me whisper, sir,
We wished to give them something MIC
to take TO Lancaster.
But listen to this tip, my friends,
If not knocked out by rain;
Just watch us put the screws on them
When they come here again.
They were a happy lot of boys
When going from our town.
In standing they are on the top,
When it is upside down.
They came. TO give us practice,
And l guess they had some tuni
They surely would have hit that bal
If fired from a gun.

In the way OF small water craft
there Is nothing quite SO alive as the
canoe. 1t has the spring OF bird
over the water the silence OF a water
spritc stealing through mysteries Of

darting on its prey.
The canoe seems TO form part Of the
being who propels il and lends itself 10
a diversity of sports not surpassed by
any other craft
one of these IS fitting At n given
signal pairs of canoes dart out upon a
lake into deep water, and the touIna-

The lauces are long and wadded at the
end and require agile and experienced
handling. With poised lances the ca
noes rush at each other, and then it is
wild struggle TO keep tue slender
boats aaoat while lances are plunged
with powerful impact against contend
ing knights
The knight who IS forced into the
water loses the tourney, but before
that happens canoes dart forward and
rush back for a stronger spring They
rise like a living filing "a the FRAY aud

sides, CULVER in the endeavor TO pre-
serve equilibrium against the odds OF
war.
