PRAISE AND PRAYER

Buffalo Enquirer: Thank God
for Wilson,
That was the top-liner on the
front cover of the Democratic
campaign book in 1914.
1t was a party shibboleth
then. 1t is a national paean now.
Day by day it becomes plain
er that this country should offer
daily thanks for the guidance
that gave it Wilson and pre-
served it from Roosevelt. Yes
terday's contribution was the
Roosevelt interview at SYRIA
cuSe.
Thank God for Wilson! God
save us from Roosevelt!

SHOWS REAL VALUE OF BUNT
Object TO Be Gained Is in Second At
tempt When Batter Should Hit the
Ball a Bit Harder.

What is the value of a bunt?"
Have you ever stopped to think over
this question? Well, no. Is it in the
first attempt or in the following?
Many argue that there is nothing to
bunt but to lay the ball down with
a runner on base and advance him by
sacrificing yourself. That's not the
value of bunt, according to Mana
ger Hickey of the Browns.
Most players, when they are told
to lay ii down with a man on base, get
in there and run it out. This is the
mistake many Of them make. But
now, to show that the value Of a bunt
is with the succeeding attempts: If a
batter hunts once, of course, the first
and third sacker will draw in the next
time he comes to the plate. Then all
the hitter has to do is hit a little
harder, and nine times out of ten he
will own a base hit.
''And right there is the real value
of bunt."

ONLY A FEW VETERANS LEFT
Twenty-four of the $50 Players Who
Figured in War Of 1902 Still Re-
main in the Big Arena.

Although only "a of the $50 ball
players who figured in the American
and National league races Of 1902,
the last year Of the American league
baseball war, still remain in the big
arena, a team composed of these vet
Ell ms, all of whom have been in the
game upward of II seasons, would be
capable of holding it's own, with any
that might be selected today
All of these players are far above
the average in intelligence, which ac-
counts for their remaining in the
game so long, are excellent fielders,
great batsmen, and with one or two
exceptions, grand base runners. This
all-star team would line up as fol-
lows:
Matthewson, Plang and Hess, pitch
ers; Bresnahan and Doom, catchers;
Lajoie, first base; Evers, second
base; Wagner, shortstop; Wallace,
third base; Callahan, left field;
Leach, center field; Crawford, right
field.
The manager for this team could be
selected from among John McGraw,
Fielder Jones, Clark Griffith, Hugh
Jennings, Wilbert Robinson and Fred
Clarke, as all of these former stars
were in the game in 1902, Griffith and
McGraw being pilots, as now.

Milwaukee Recruit With White Sox

Product of Sand Lots.

Happy" Felch, Milwaukee's recruit
fence buster, who chalked up nearly a
score of home runs during the Ameri-
can association season last year, and
who as result was sold for $4,000
to Owner Comiskey of the Chicago
White SoX, is Milwaukee product,
developed in the city and state
leagues, and joined the Brewers in the
tail end of the 1913 season, when his
hitting was a big factor in the teams
capture of the pennant.
There is an old saying that it is
on the sand lots that the real ball
players are made. Hap is a sandlot
product. Happy's father was also a
ball player, so it was but natural that
as a youngster Hap should show evil
dences of becoming a famous player
himself
Hap was a member of the o. X. ball
team of Milwaukee for a long time. 1t
was the habit of the owners of the
team to give so cents to the boy who
made a home run. Hap made his so
cents regularly every Saturday, and
sometimes it was a dollar he carried
away.
Soon afterwards the state league
put team into Milwaukee and Owner
Moll decided to give Hap a chance.
Hap joined the team, and it was de-
cided to make an infielder out of him.
He played the infeld all right, but
it was as a hitter that he soon gained
his fame.
There were eight cities in this state
league, but none Of the others played
in such large parks as did the Mil
waukee team. The magnates in the
other cities were soon sore at the
Milwaukee management because Felch

low Harry Davis and Larry La
Iole TO Shave Him.

Larry Lajoie is making good at Sec
ond base for the Athletics, but he isn't
qualifying as a barber at all. Stuffy
McInnis will vouch for that.
On recent transforming trip of the
Athletics Stuffy needed a shave badly.
The hotel barber shop was full. La
joie and Harry Davis volunteeed as
BARRIERS.
L,ajoie stuffed towel under STUFF
fy's chin. Davis applied the lather.
Then Harry shaved MoInnis. The
shave didn't meet with the approval
of Larry. He insisted upon going over
Stuffy's face again.
He used an upstroke where Davis
had used downward strokes. Davis
wasn't satisfied until he had turned
the trick once more. McInnis was
game and, in spite of the way his face
smarted and burned, he stuck It out
to the finish.
Two days later, however, McInnis
wouldn't accept another shave from
the Davis-Lajoie combination.

who catches a ball in this remarkable
manner.
Fans gasp when he performs the
stunt. They are always looking for
him to drop it-but he apparently new
er does.
Meanwhile gets a grounder unlike
other shortstops. He gathers up the
ball in a most unconcerned fashion
and can whip it across at fearful
speed. One has to wonder where he
gets the strength. There is no jerk
to his movement, no effort whatever.
Then, when he is at the bat. He
has short, heavy stick. This he
holds in the middle so that about a
foot and half is left to crack the
ball. And it's no infrequent thing
to see him whale a double or a
triple.

works like a whirlwind with Evers

Meanwhile and said to him then:

idea of a shortstop is a small man.
He can get over the ground faster
than a big man. Don't worry about
your size, Meanwhile. Just cover the
ground and I'll keep you with this
big show"
And Meanwhile was relieved of
the worry of stature and-did he
make good?
Johnny Evers and Stallings claim
that he is the greatest shortstop that
ever played the game! OF course,
that's a Boston claim but, truth to
tell, Maranville played the position
in dazzling way during the Braves
thrilling rush to the front. All OF
which goes to show that man who
is fast, game, and hitter can get

The Milwaukee team was finally
moved to Fond du Lac, which is on the
shore of a lake. Here Hap got into
trouble with the game warden because
he would knock the pail over into the

goes.
