for him. It will make him forget his
dollars and his place for an hour.
An hour with the baseball ID better

doctor or an undertaken and will ut a
man for a real fight with the July

The newspaper man Il glad that his
friend called on him for that workout.
He has just as many troubles today as
he ever had. but he can carry them
over the bridge without making such
loud lamentations AZ he made the day
before.
May blessings rest upon the head

As MAN TO MAN.

A friend came around the other day
and asked the newspaper man to take
a workout with him with a ball
and mitt. The proposition looked good
30 the two old boys dug up a baseball
and glove and mitt and repaired
to parking out on the west side to
take a little exercise and have a lot
OF fun. They worked out a half hour
and went in the house to supper. Both
OF them had been hall players in their
youth. but the days of their youth
had long ago flowed into the ocean
OF time. They couldn't play ball now
for cold beans. Joints stiff. corns on
feet, eye like a fish, arm of glass, fing-
ers Of butter. It was pathetic to
watch these two play ball.
One OF these men was thirty and
the other in the thirties. Not old by
any means. They looked fit and
run a little race or fight. They talked
a good deal about the games in which
they had taken part. They had a
little skill with a glove and showed
traces of familiarity with a baseball
1t Is q funny thing how quick the
vigor and suppleness Of youth leave
a man. When he passes out of the
twenties he goes on the shelf so far
as physical class is concerned. He
doesn't know 1t, but it's true. A work
out with a ball or a boxing glove will
quickly convince him. The average
business or professional man takes
about as much exercise as an Egypt
well and walks a good deal with his
chest bulged out to show the world
how good a man he is. But q little
real exercise makes his eyes stick
out in anguish and he puffs like a
sealion and his muscles creak like a
in h0r
The newspaper man and his ball
player friend had a good time. They
had no speed. They could not gauge
a ball any more and they tired quick
ly. But the workout did them a lot of
good. 1t made them humble in spirit
as well as in body. 1t showed them
the folly of laziness and the vanity
that lies at the root Of all pride. A
little exercise taken in time saves
nine. A ball and a mitt and a grassy
plot and a little sunshine two or three
times a week will stave off rheuma-
tism. and help the liver on it's weary
way and take a single off the doc
tors roof and encourage the tummy
to stay on the job and save a plumb
er's bill for the lungs and add to the
grocery bill.
This is the time of year when it is
common sight to see. on most any
side street, man and a boy throwing
ball, or two men, or a boy and two
men. The householder il out in his
shirt sleeves making a holy show OF
himself. He will go in the house to
supper with a bunged up finger but he
won't kick SO much on his food. He
will discover that he has grown old
but, strange to say. he will live longer
in this pilgrim valley. He will lose
friends when he breaks his neighbor's
window, but he will get acquainted for
the first time with his small son.
Any man who has too much dignity
to play ball in the front yard or the
street has to pay a big price for thai
dignity. The man who is smart
enough to mix q little baseball with
his leisure and his business has really
accumulated wisdom with age.
After two or three workouts he may
get 80 he can hurl a ball with speed
and accuracy into a big mitt. The

By HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.

Our team never had a good Sec
ond basel1an. At first, everyone
wanted to be pitcher all the time.
Hank had to put Jim Kim out in
the field because he couldn't stop
anything. ~
bud wanted to be pitcher, but
Hank said: mo, you play Sec
ond." bud resined, and Hank
fined him two cents for resining
and got Bob to play second. bud
kept on resining and Hank fined
him until he owed twelve cents,
only he wouldn't play, and he was
our best second baseman. So we
had a meeting and Hank said:
"All right, IL he'll come back We
won't fine him."
So Dud came back. He is a
dandy second sacker. He don t
throw over Paul's head like Jack
and Jim Kim did, and then say:
Jaw, why didn't you catch it,"
He stops the hot ones, too.
One day We were playing a kid
team down on the real ball park
and a fellow knocked a liner ut
bud. He caught 1t and ran to
second and made a double play.
Then the kid that was on third
started home and If bud hadn't
thrown over Hanks head we
would have made a triple play.
We beat them anyhow.
Dud has ben playing first and
second bases, too, this spring
when the team amt all there.
Some of the kids have been going
to moving picture shows, and IL
they amt careful Hank will can
them.
So when bud plays down be-
tween first and second and when
he gets grounder he runs and
touches first, and sometimes
run over and he throws to me. We
had one game, only five on a side,
and that is fun but it don't help
the team. We won, IA to 5, and
they cheated once. We are going
to have meeting and make q
rule: mo cheating allowed" 1t
isn't fair to cheap in a for fun
game.
The other day We were playing
and bud muffed ball and Hank
said: Jaw, Hazel could do better
than that" Dud got mad and said
1t was lie and Hazel took Hank s
part and slapped bud and he was
going to resin again, only he
didn't. bet Hazel would make a
dandy second .baseman II she was

he took off clothes, climbed into

A great many readers imagine
that the reporters who have won
fame have merely an academic
knowledge of baseball. As mat
ter of fact great many have
been ball players. either as pro-
fessionals or at college.
