Talk About Winning
Pennant Is Not So
Loud
CAVET INJECTS
A LITTLE HUMOR
Pug" Admits He's
One Greatest First
Stacker Today
BY HAROLD v. WILCOX.

GULFPORT. Miss. March ls.-
Despite Manager Jennings repeated
assertions Of his belief that the loss
OF Burns win not result in a poor
start this year. the last Of the week
finds the players themselves lacking
much Of the optimism that featured
the first two weeks OF the Tiger en-
campment here. They blame the
operation that win keep the first
baseman on the bench until June
on the ink that has followed the
club since the championship days
Gainor's misnaps. Wits fractured
wrist, Cobb's broken rib and thumb
and the other disasters that have
played havoc with the team In re-
cent years are cited gloomily. The
Tigers have not lost heart. but the
feeling that the fates are again
stacking the cards against them has.
without question. robbed them OF a
LOT OF badly needed confidence. Pen
nant hopes have not been a3an-
doned by any means. but not so
much is being said about the world
series as a few days ago.
The present situation on the club
Is not without its humorous side
Flushed with his conquest OF the
outfeld In the Baton Rouge and
Convent games. Pug Cayet has
kidded himself into believing that
he is an embryo FIRST baseman Of
the superiative sort. and offers his
lean length as proof Of his conten-
ton.
Il saw them all play last sum
mer.- says TiIler, and none of
them had anything on me"
Marty Kavanagh has taken up the
task imposed IN him by Jennings in
the spirit OF philosopher.
1T doesn't make any difference
to me where play" says Marty.
We only have 10 be out there two
or three hours day. and one place
Is about as pleasant rs another.
I'll take a whirl at whatever Jen.
nings offers. and give them battle
all along the line"
II Is still too early TO make any
predictions concerning Kavanagh
as guardian of the FIRST stop. He
has a lot to learn. and Jennings has
given him three weeks to learn IT,
II II very probable that there will
be nothing doing In the way OF an
nouncements before the three weeks
is past. unless Marty should prove
hopeless.

The joys of being an editor cannot
be bestowed upon everybody, but
sometimes we think that we would
like to turn our plant over to some of
the critics of the town for a few weeks
and let them get out a newspaper
which would be above criticism and
void of mistakes. 1t is one continuous
round of being damned if you do, and
damned if you don't, and if you keep
the Newspaper out of the argument al
together, then you receive the con-

when he had called on her. She was
neat as waxwork about her little
home. Barely thirty. yet she called
herself an old maid. She had worked
at teaching music to accumulate the
little home and an income, had re-
ceived some hard knocks In the world
and was exclusive and a bit quick
and sharp in her talk and manner.
David had thought her a most come

sula had struck him as not caring
greatly for his company. In this he
was mistaken. II was her ways"
that led to his erroneous impression.
He mistook a certain strained wom-
anly dignity for repellant dislike for
mankind Her eyes looked clear
through him. He was a timid man.
He had ceased his visits when he be-

This especial day business had
brought him to Verden. There was
a fond lingering memory of the coy
little home that smelled of lavender
and the inspiring cup of tea Miss
Ursula brewed When he came TO the
street where the artistic cottage
among the shrubbery was located, he
halted Then ne started on, walked
back, and then started on again, muir

out through the open front door Of
the cottage. The tones electrified the
professor. for he instantly recognized
