 A ball game to Ty Cobb is a picnic Mathewson has been in professional baseball for IS years, and yet he gets as much fun out of game today as he did around 1901, when he was just getting under way.
 Tt will be the toughest day of my life,'' said Matty recently. when turn in my uniform for good
 This rule is ge1ieraI. but mot with out exceptiohs. Jim Thorpe was one of the greatest football players that ever Iived-if not actually the great est for allsaround value. Yet Thorpe was never keen over football as a sport. He told us one day that he would rather play baseball for a, week than to play football for a year. If Thorpe had only started baseball when a kid he would have been another Cobb, to employ a high original phase. But he was over 25 before he ever gave the summer game any serious attention.

you one of my porters. You station the porter where you're supposed to wait and then you. get few doors away and hide in a doorway
 "Yes''
 When those fellows start to charge the porter with their fruit bombs. you begin forging on them. If you say the word I'll get into a doorway also and shoot off few. beauties.v
 You're on." answered Lewis
 In due time the show was over and the audience began piling out. Soon a, little group gathered near the thea ter and the leader began passing around objects that proved to be apples, pears, tomatoes and potatoes in various stages of Ndecompos posit1on. Also there were a few eggs.
 ''Is he there yet? asked the s'nlob'' leader of one of the scouts. s\ :'Yep, he's waiting there, all dolled up,' answered a scout.
 ttAll ready then, boys command ed the leader. Don't fire until you are 1osezenough to be sure Of hitting him.
 The intrepid band began it's charge, yelling it ran in what military ex- perts term ''close fornation-' The conspirators cleared the curbing, were half way across the street and juss on the point of delivering bombartJ- ment in the direction of the psuedo Lewis when a pistol shot rang out, followed a second later by another another-and another.f
 The charging army halted, hesf- tated, then broke in disorder and ran in every direction.
 Its the sheriff, boys-the sheriff run for your lives" gasped the leader as he struck out for An alley at the rate of one mile in 5S seconds.
 Lewis and the hotel man emptied their revolvers in the direction of the fleeing fugitives and then rushed back to the hotel. As soon as Lewis ar rived there he hustled to his room. Five minutes later some of the con spirators, considerably out of breath, arrived at the hotel. white faced and near exhaustion.
 Seen anything of Duffy Lewis?,' asked one, of the proprietor.
 Lewis? Oh. he's up in bed-been up in bis room quite some time now g answered the hotel man.
 Gosh, it must have been the sheriff. all right" whispered one of the conspirators to another a bit later and to this day those who tried to play joke on Lewis don't know that Lewis turned the tables.

Duffy Lewis is doing vaudeville on a California circuit. which recalls a story of "a previous experience Duffy had with actor-folk. and in which 9 kindly disposed hotel keeper saved him from disaster. This happened, please keep in. mind before Duffy be- came a married man.
 In 1909 Duffy went to Yuma, Ariz.. to perform in a winter le9gue.' He was a, handsome youth in those days and some of the town boys in Yuma were a bit jealous of the way the girls raved about him.
 About this time a musical comedy show hit Yuma and among it's ice lebrities,' was a prima. donna of extra ordinary beauty. Duffy never saw the damseI in real life. but he saw her picture spread all over the Yuma
 Lewis, therefore. was greatly sur prised when he got a dainty perfum- ed note bearing the signature of the .speach,s' which told Duffy how much she admired him for his baseball skill and also expressed a yearning to meet him.
 7 If. it is convenient for you" con cIuded the note, please meet me af- ter lthe, show is over tonight. Wait for me across from the opera house. !"
 Lewis, in addition to being sur prised, was a bit -hattered.. Why shouldn't he be? Practically every masculine in that town had tried to get into the good graces of the 'tpeach''-but she had turned them down-one and all. And. here she was making unsolicited overtures to Lewis. Nevertheless, Lewis also was a bit suspicious about that note, and his suspicious were confirmed early in the evening by the owner of the hotel where Lewis was stoppiny.
 The hotel proprietor called Lewis to one side and said:
 .eYou got a note-suposedl from a. lady-didn't you?'' he asked.
 'swe11, what if I did ?" countered Lewis.
 .sThe note is a phoney, Duffy" said the hotel keeper. Some of the boys had one of the girls turn in with it and sent it to you.'
 .tNow. tonight if you fall for that note and wait at the appointed place, the boys are going to bombard you with some ancient fruit. Why not turn the joke on them? ?''
