 Having made reference to the John son Willard affair, it might be we'll to state that the late P. T. Barnum said that the American public was al- ways willing to be fooled.

 BASEBALL PHILOSOPHY
 In Saturdays game with the "Cubs'' Heinie Zimmerman hit Texas leaguer in right field. Three men started for the ball at the same time Arthur Hartle, the center fielder, and '%Tod' Sloan. the right fielder, both extraordinary fast men, could easily have caught the ball, but they hesi- tated. The cause of their indecision was that Cecil Coombs, the second sacker. was rapidly backing up to catch the ball Suddenly Coombs slowed up-he had heard the two out fielders near him-and then the ball fell safe between the three men. It was a disastrous play as Vic Safer, the next batter, poled a home run, and the hesitation of the three Baron players practically lost the game for Birmingham.
 And so it is in life. Men will race forward at a set goal until sud- denly they see another figure ap- preaching. They stop-slow up at least, to see what the other fellow is going to do. The other, mean while. beset with difficulties, realizes that 1t will be very hard to reach the goal. and then, seeing others reaching for the same thing, also stops-and then the opportunity slips by just as the ball fell safe last Saturday afternoon. which lost a baseball game. Moral: Don't stop because another fellow is after the same thing. That should be an incentive to try harder Here's hoping for the glorious sun shine and warm weather this after noon. R. r. l..

TERRIFIC STORM
 WORKS EASTWARD Blizzard Leaves Wrecked Telephone Systems and
 Blocked Highways

Boston, April 1.-The blizzard which lashed New York yesterday worked to the eastward today over the Canadian maritime provinces, leaving in it's wake prostrated wires and miles of snow block ed highways So far as had been learned tonight no lives were lost although IA men in three barges off Cape Cod and three in barge in Massachusetts bay had narrow escapes from drowning They were rescued by coast guard crews.
 The storm was most destructive in southeastern Massachusetts, cutting off communications with points south of Mid dleborough.
 Plymouth, Bristol and Barnstable coun- ties were covered with more than a foot of snow. The wind reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour at Nantucket In Boston the snow fall amounted to only a few inches.

ball game.
 Omar Hardgrove, the noted sleuth i. and criminalogist, will essay the task of doing the doughty henchmen of Joe Birmingham this afternoon at Redwood As the crafty Omar has been pitching great ball this spring, it would not be surprising if he should set the C1evelanders back.
 The famous "Shoeless' Joe Jack son, who, for years, has been runner-up with 'Ty' Cobb for the batting honors of the American league, will be in center field for the visitors. However, after seeing Bres- nahan, Goode McIarry, and Safer of the Cubs pole homers in the last few days the Barons are not likely to be surprised at anything Joe Jack son may do.
 Walter Barbare, who was at the hot corner and at short for the Pelicans last season, is playing the initial sack this season for the Cleveland team.
