The Adopted Baby

They laid the little bundle in the
crib
1t was whimpering and shivering
with cold;
Oh, mine the tongue that always
chartered glib!
Oh, mine the fingers powerfully
bold!
But l touched that silken head
And my heart-strings snapped and
bled,
And | sank before it pitifully old
Wee bundle!
| craved it's nearness with a holy
fear,
And the mother passion in me
hungered, torn;
Upon it's forehead glinted wet nv
tear,
But my body covered impotent and
worn,
And | called out in my pain
To the mother down the lane
And the seven sturdy youngsters
she had borne
Wee baby
But before her footsteps echoed on
the way,
There came a plaintive peep, from
out the nest.
| started back at first in my dismay
Then | Rugged the little being to
my breast!
All Gods promises came true!
| mysteriously knew!
And the baby, cooling, taught me
all the rest
My baby!

All the world is flooded with sun

Don't hunt a position. Bring the

'Benevolence" In
Jersey City P. B. A.
Questioned By Chief

The up. B. A" of Jersey City is
on the grill. Who put them there?
Mr.. Director Hague What is the
"P. B. A." A benevolent associa-
ton. And the P is for Patrolmen's
Director, you say, of what? Direc-
tor of Public Safety. Oh! But,
why? why the grilling?
According to inspired information
it's the money in the case In
three years time the "P. B. AS"
president, Patrolman Frank Rey-
nolds, has received into his two
hands the sum of $4,000 to be used
at his discretion and that of his Sc
cret committee for benevolent" pur-
poses. On last week Tuesday evening
the Benevolents held a picnic at
Schentzen Park. Tickets were issued
broadcast to merchants and manu-
facturers, and well-wishers in gen.
eral of the organization. And be-
ing for lovely charity they were
brought without stint: for, wasn't
it in the cause of charity? Sup
posedly, yes. $4,000 was expected
to be added to the fund as res
ult Of the event.
But no accounting has been made
of this large sum. Presumably, it
was intended for such things as
patrolmen's pensions, and like
worthy objects. In fact, in his
statemant issued Wednesday morn
ing, Director of Public Safety Hag-
ue hints that the reason why no
statement as to the use of these
funds during the last three years
has been made is that they have
been diverted to the paying Of the
fines of delinquent members, and for
political purposes in general. "Tues-
day nights picnic was held at this
particular time to raise funds for
the political campaign" says the
statement. "The +. b. A. is a polit-
ical organization, pure and simple.
1t is menace to the community, and
if l find that any of the funds have
been unlawfully used, l shall make
those guilty suffer.
'The P. B. A. was organized for
the purpose of controlling the pol
ice situation, and gives it's support
and money to the political party Of
fering the greatest inducements
"On the whole the police force of
Jersey City can be favorably COM
pared with any similar body in the
United States. To the force as a
whole the association is a detriment
rather than help.
ut is the few selfish and ambit-
ions men at the head of the P. B.
A. who, if permitted to have their
way, would destroy discipline and
efficiency and bring the department
into disrepute."

Another Plant on

Editor "The Palisadian:"
The peaceable and unoffending
citizens of the cliffedge section of
Palisade, as well as those of the
undercliff section of Edgewater,
while approaching the courtesy ex-
tended by the steam-running plants
and factories of the river edge in
lessening the volume of steam escape
and whistling in the past, are hope
full that still greater consideration
may be shown for their comfort. The
same is looked for from the river

Cannot our great industrial neigh
bors afford to be generous in this
little matter?

FRANK GOTCH GIVES SOME
VALUABLE TRAINING HINTS

Frank GOtch, worlds champion wres-
tier, in recent talk to the students
Of Ames University on the subject of
athletic training revealed some inter
esting data as to his method. Gotch
disagrees with some of the noted phys
zeal culture: opponents on present day
methods and incidentally gives the sys-
TEN rap. The following are Gotch's
ideas on the subject:
Il dare say" declares GOtch, that
if each man should take on himself
the responsibility Of being his own
trainer he would be a much better ath-
lete than he would otherwise. If it
were possible for the coaches to study
the needs and characteristics of the
individual man and work with each
one as unit instead of training them
as a group, the present day athletes
would be superior to what they are
now.

ing are not applicable to the college
man, for he has such short time to
prepare himself for an athletic event,
but this much of my training methods
he can adopt, that of being his own
trainer.
81 have found it great pleasure to
solve the problems of my own physi-
cal machine, to find out just what it
ought to do. and just what it ought
not do. During my training l was al
ways careful not to overtax my
strength. For instance, one day !

"A man should quit training feeling
vigorous, snappy and full of life, and
not like the present day athlete, who
is told to quit after the coach has
worked him until all worn out and ex.

Defeat is a good thing for an ath,

he became one of the most effective
pitchers in the big league, for he al
ways had a world Of speed. But the
name wild Bill still stuck, as a nick
name often will, in spite of the fact
that he could cut the corners with the
best of them.
Donovan made a careful study Of
the game, and Hugh Jennings is re-
sponsible for the statement that he
was one of the craftiest boxmen ever
to work for him. Bill went through
several successful seasons, and then
his ''soupbone" began to go back on
him. In the meantime the Detroit

WILD BILL
DONOVAN NO.
Longer Wild
By CHRIsTY MATHEWsON.


When l was at the last worlds Sc
manager of the Yankees, and Bill hop
ped on me because he said that some
where in one Of my articles I+had put
him in a class with Rube Waddell and
Bugs Raymond and had implied that
he was called Wild Bill because he
was once a bad actor.
BILL" said to him, eff mentioned
you in connection with those other
two it was only in discussing you as a
pitcher and in no other way. know
your style and didn't mean anything
else"
That's all right, Matty," answered
Donovan, but just didn't want any.
body to get me wrong"
In case anybody else may have mis-
understood my meaning at that time,
want to go on record as saying that,
Donovan is one of the cleanest living
ball players ever to break into the
game.
How Wild Bill Got His Name.
Donovan got his name of Wild Bill
from the fact that, when he first broke
into baseball, his control was bad, and
he came near sending two or three
batters to the morgue by hitting them
with pitched balls. If there is one
thing that big Lacquer hates, it is to
face pitcher whose control is un-l
certain. There is an old theory in
baseball that once a man has been
beaned he will always afterward be-
bat shy. There are too many exam.
pies of this to require citing, but II
will point out the case of a young
shortstop named Jack Martin, once
with the Yankees, who was full of
promise until Walter johnson beaned
him. There was at another time a
pitcher with the New York Americans
named Schultz, left handler, and he
used to beat the Athletics right along
principally through his lack of cons;
troll, which sounds funny.
Il don't want to hit against that
bird" said Eddie Collins to me once
'You can't tell whether he is going
to pop you in the head or throw the
ball into the grand stand" |
When Roger Bresnahan was with
the Giants he used to suggest to me
occasionally that / try to hit a batter
so that they would not feel any too
safe when they came up to the plate.
Mick one once in a while, Matty,"
he would advise me, "and they won't
stand up there SO confident Make
them stick their foot in the water pail
ana then you can slip a strike over
once in a while without them being
so sure you are not going to bean
them"
Set Out to Get Control. /
Now to come back to wild Bill |
Donovan. AS I have said, when Dono-
van first broke in his control was
not his biggest asset, and he had the !
batters who faced him worried. They |
used to complain about this.
Here's this Wild Bill Donovan
working today" a batter would mutter, !
and don't know whether l will go |,
home in the club bus, an ambulance
or a hearse. 1t all depends on how
fast / am in getting out of the way.
Of those wild ones"
But Bill" being smart pitcher,
and realizing that the other clubs
were waiting him out every time he
went to the box, knew that if he would
last in the big league he must get
control. He went to work to acquire
this and it was not long before he
had as nice control as any pitcher on
the Detroit staff He did not lose any
OF his speed in acquiring this, and so !
