Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
M r. 'POSSUM.

Mr.. 'Possum lived in a tree in the
woods where Mr.. Bear lived, and one
morning just before spring. Mr. Pos
sum awoke very hungry.
He ran around TO MIR. Squirrels
house and tried to get an invitation to
breakfast, but Mr.. Squirrel had only
enough for himself.
He met with no better success at
Mr. Rabbits, for he only put his nose
out of the door, and when he saw who
was there, said: Il am as busy as |
can be getting ready for my spring
planting, will you come to help sort
some seeds?"
Mr.. Rabbit knew the easiest way to
to work. 81 would gladly help you,
replied Mr. 'Possum, but l am in a
great hurry this morning. | have
some important business with Mr..
Bear and | only stopped to say how
do you do"
"Mr. Bear, | am afraid, will not be
receiving today" said Mr.. Rabbit; "it
is rather early for him to be up, isn't
it?"
81 though as the sun was nice and
warm he might venture out, and
thought it would please him to have
me there to welcome him." said Mr..
'Possum. Besides that l wish to see
him on business"
Now, Mr.. 'Possum knew we'll enough
that Mr.. Bear would not be up, and he
wanted to find him sleeping and
soundly, too.
He went to the door and knocked
softly; then he waited, and as he did
not hear any moving inside he went
to a window and looked in. There
were Mr.. Bears chairs and pipe just
as he left them when he went to bed.
| He looked in the bedroom window and
| he could see in the bed big head of
| bedclothes and just the tiniest tip of
Mr.. Bears nose.
He put in one foot and sat on the
sill and listened All was still, SO he
| slid off to the floor. Mr.. 'Possum
looked around Mr.. Bears well-filled
pantry. He did not know where to
begin, he was so hungry.
He became so interested and was SO
greedy that he forgot all about that he
was in Mr.. Bears pantry and he
stayed on and on and ate and ate.
Then he fell asleep and the first
thing he knew o pair of shining eyes
were looking in the window and big
head with a red mouth full of long
white teeth was poked into the pantry.
The big head was followed by a
body. and when 1t was In the sill Mr..
'Possum saw 1t was Mr.. Fox. and the
next thing he knew Mr.. Fox came of
the sill with bang and hit a pan of
|, beans and then knocked over a jar of
preserves.

I trying to get up on his feet Mr. Pos

window like flash. Mr.. Fox saw

is the Question
Suggested.
DEPENDS ON THE MEN
BOYLE VIII Withhold Decision Until
He Learns Which Combi-
nation Works Most
Effectively.

Whether tbs better to use change
catcher and outhelder or pitcher
and outfielder is one of the numerous
questions that is confronting Frank
Boyle, manager Of the Indians. II
you had your choice, which would
you take?
Boyle expects to leave the decis.
ion largely to the players themselves
that is. he is going to wait and see
which combination works the better
after the players have reported and
things have been pretty well lined up.
Boyle will have two pitchers that
he might use part of the time In the
box and part of the time in the out
field. He will also have report one
man who can work in the outfield CT
behind the bat, according to the die
tates and wishes of the boss.
Donaldson New Man.
The accomplished beavers are Nc
Collough, who was here last year
(and don't forget that Mack was there
with his stick, and D. D. Donaldson,
man just signed, who played in the
Wisconsin-Illinois circuit for couple
of years Donaldson hits not far be-
low the three hundred mark and his
fielding average ranks high. He
played in seventy-five games last
year, pitching sixteen, of which he
won nine.
The prospective change catcher il
Bill Gedb, another recruit from that
well known and justly famed Michi-
gan State league. Bill works equally
we'll behind the bat or in the garden.
He played in Ill games last year, in
fitty-nin of which he wore mask.
His batting average was .2s5 and his
fielding was equally good.

secretary, spent a few hours at the
park yesterday afternoon where RUDE
Burch has been putting things IN
shape for the rockies to go to work
on their arrival. The infield Is being
raised about twelve inches to make It

this season will adopt the big league
style of placing canvas coverings over
the bases and pitchers box at night
to keep the ground about them dry
when it rains. A new water heater
will be placed in the club house, the
old one having been removed without

Trainer Jack Moakley of Cornelrs
prime rule for those who aspire to be
healthy athletes. The man who de
veloped John Paul Jones. Tell Berna
and Alma Richards would recommend
after man gets in fair physical con.
dition: Track athletics for the youth
tennis for the man in the thirties and
golf for the man over forty. Long
distance walking Is good for all.
The youth who intends to take up
sports should first be examined by d
doctor or some athletic authority. If
he has detective heart, lungs CT
shoulders, some special exercise
should be first ordered to strengthen
the weak parts" says Moakley.
Many of our boys nowadays make
the big mistake of rushing into sports
without first learning their weakness
And this fault is carried still further
by an overdose OF athletics. Often DO
we hear of boy working for several
hours day in gym at the beginning
and then becoming SO stiff and sore
from his observation-disclosures that he
gives up athletics in disgust.
Go Easy at Start.
!. Every one should take things easy
at the start. Exercise in moderation
and then gradually increase the
amount. But be sure not to exercise
as il it were medicine which had to
be taken. Exercise as IL you enjoyed
it. ~
For the youth 1 know no better
form of exercise than track sports. II
Is the track performer who first
catches the trainers eye. In track
sports there is 3 cooperation OF
muscles that no other game pro
duces. At Cornell we make spec
ial effort TO develop runners arms.
They usually receive the least devel.
opment from sprinters and long dis.

Moakley insisted that every one
should be interested in some sport
He related how moving pictures are
shown to students at Cornell to work
up their enthusiasm in some line o;
sports. According to the trainer these
pictures have accomplished wonders.
Advises Tennis and Golf.
Skipping from the subject of boys
games. Moakley had word OF advice
for men around thirty years who
want to participate in some sport
Their game should be tennis he
said. at is fine means of exercise
1t ia also strenuous and they shouldn't
overdo 1t. Any one who has been
confined indoors and wants to play
tennis at this stage of life would dc
we'll to first do considerable walking
1 know no better means Of getting in
condition than the easy method Of
long distance walking. Walk in loose
fitting clothes and comfortable shoes
This exercise will strengthen the
lungs and improve the wind. Good
wind Is necessary in tennis and ali
other games"
And the men Of middle age, who
sometimes think they are too old u
do anything in sports. came in for
Moakley's consideration.
They should play golf," was his
advice "It is not nearly as strend
GUS as tennis, but gives wonderful
