PASSING OF R0WDY PLAYERS
Drinking, Carousing and Other Forms
of Dissipation, Once SO Prevalent,
Are Seldom Noticed.

No game under the sun has inn
proved in regard to the personnel of
its participants as baseball, according
to Scott E. Chesnett of Birmingham,
Southern league umpire.
There are very few rowdies in the
game today" he added, land time will
soon come when a rowdy will no more
be tolerated in baseball than in any
other profession. Drinking, carousing
and other forms of dissipation, once
SO prevalent, are very seldom wit
messed today.
Baseball players have learned that
rough tactics avail them nothing, but
this is directly the result of the firm
hand of Judge Kavanaugh, president of
the league, and the frequent expression
of disapproval on the part of the fans.
Throughout the 1914 season, l was
compelled to put out of games only
three men, whereas in the olden days
umpires often put out half a dozen in
one afternoon. And another improve.
ment which is noted is that no longer
do sporting editors attempt to roast
umpires. During the season 1 was not
adversely criticized single time, I'M
less one might construe remark to
the effect that missed one or two
in the nature of criticism.

high plane in the Southern league"

lii the opinion of Harry Vardon, the
English golf expert, the acme of con
troll lies in the ability to slice or pull
ball at will On occasions Vardon
has extricated himself from tight
places by resorting to this form of
master shot, but it is doubtful if any
one has the pulled ball down to such
point of science as had the late Will
Anderson.
1t was at Oakland some fifteen
years ago when the course at Bay
Side consisted of nine holes that An
derson had a chance to show his Won
derful cleverness in this line. Being
the Bautusol professional at the time,
Anderson had been selected by James
A. Tying as a partner in four-ball
match against Walter J. Travis, then
a member of the Oakland Golf club,
and Dave Hunter, at that time the
professional there. In playing what
was the home hole the drive was over
a deep valley to level stretch of
turf beyond, after which the hole
turned sharply to the left around
point of woods.
In those days Of the solid ball,
golfers considered it good stunt"
to drive past the bend so as to have
an open shot for the green on their
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1915-04-02

next, but in this particular match An
derson startled the gallery by impart-
ing some mysterious spin to the bas;,
thereby causing it to travel straight
for $50 vars or so and then gracefully
turn to the left, finally disappearing
round the bend well on it's way to-
ward the green Four times did An
derson accomplish this feat that day
without mistake, and on each occa-
sion it enabled him to get home with
an iron, whereas the others were COM
PEELED to use brassies with Indifferent
results. Since that day Anderson won
a dozen or more championships, in
Guiding the national open four times
and the western on three occasions.
Another master stroke rarely at
tempted was brought off by Findlay
S. Douglas during the national cham
pionship at Morris county back in
1898. In those days Douglas showed
a preference for a wooden putter,
which he brought over with him when
he said farewell to old st. Andrews,
and decided to cast his fortune with
the land of the free. Although often
called a bad putter Douglas got along
remarkably well in this tournament
with the old-fashioned wooden con-
trivance, almost obsolete now.

HORSEHIDE is GOOD ENOUGH
Mistaken Idea That Hide of Siberian
Pony Is Used in Manufacture of
Baseball Covers.

Manufacturers of baseball supplies
are laughing at a report which has
gained circulation to the effect that
the national sport will be seriously
handicapped next season, due to an
insufficient number of basebahs for
major and minor league use. Accord
ing to the report, the hide of the 81
berian pony was the only leather suit
able for baseball covers, and since the
war had shut off this supply of skins
the worlds series might have to be
played next October with defective
balls, if played at all.
Investigation showed that plain, ev-
eryday American horsehide is the only
skin used for covering baseballs, and
that there is the usual supply in sight.
This hide does not stretch or sag un-
der the impact of bat and has always
proved satisfactory. Perhaps" re-
marked one manufacturer, "the Siber-
ian pony skin would stand up better
under the batting of Ty Cobb or Jake
Daubert but for the average hitter OF

Gorgeous Scenes in Constantine
Pile During the Celebration
of Easter.

(SrHRISTOS ANESTP'-"Christ is
~ risen'-is the Easter cry in Con-
stantinople that you hear on all sides,
| accompanied by the exchange of the
| traditional kiss. "Paskalia Foulia''-
flowers of Easter time''-are sold
everywhere to the festive throng in
| the narrow streets. In the butcher
shops you see the passover lambs
| with gilded feet and the choice pieces
the kidneys on gold foil.
| The variety of types and costumes
seen in this throng where the West
meets the East is most remarkable. All
the Christians of the Levant are there:
Bulgarians in embroidered jackets;
Greeks from the mountains sporting
the fustanella, the kilt which resem-
bles the dancers skirt; burly men
from the Adriatic, Levantines, Ar
menians; ladies in the latest Paris
fashions, genuine and otherwise, and
of course, host of French, Germans,
Italians, Austrians, Russians, English
and Americans.
In the Balkans, Austria, Germany
in fact, all parts of Europe, one finds
countless Easter customs that were
apparently of very ancient heather
origin quite unrelated to the feast of
the resurrection.
The many nationalities of Austria |
Hungary afford particularly wide |
field in this respect, since the princi-
pal ones, Germans, Slavs, Magyars,
have come to occupy the country in
the Christian era with all their GUS
toms already formed since centuries.
The physical conditions of Austria
Hungary, with the Danube valley sur
by high and continuous

WHEN THE LILIES BLOW.

1t may be a fable sweetly told
OF the rocky tomb that could not hold
The Son of God in its sealed space
With Roman guard to watch the place
Perhaps poor Mary, who wept all night
Did not go forth with the morning light
And cry aloud in her quick dismay-
Behold, they have taken my Lord away!
1t may be a figure of speech entire.
And the spirit did never the pen inspire
But something uplifts the soul, know,
In the days when the Easter lilies blow.
