To develop a winning team 1t Is neces-
sary to have good pitching and catch

good base running. During the great

ANVIL CHORUS HAD
 NO CHARMS FOR HIM
"clang. clans, clang. goes the hammer on

"Clang. clang clang. goes the hammer on
 the anvil:
 All day long at the door I could stop Listening to the music made by honest
 toll
 In the old village blacksmiths shop"
 The enthusiasm of the long forgotten poet who penned the above lines are not shared in the least by F. P Gray, a suburbanite, who appeared before the city commissioners yesterday morning and asked that the permit for the operation of a blacksmith,s shop within 50 feet of his dwelling house be refused. He con- tended that the "clang. clang, clang,' would drive him out of his house and home. and that however much the thea tre-going public was pleased by the anvil chorus" it had no charms for him.
 W. D. Sulzby. owner of the building to be rented for the blacksmiths shop. de- clared the blacksmith was not half as much of noise producer as nearby railroad. and that the noises from ad jacent factories drowned the musical tones of steel upon steel. He declared that from time immenorial black smiths shop was a delight to the young sters. for, as the song goes:
 .'J-he children coming home from school
 Look in at the open door,
 And catch the burning spailis that fly
 Like chaff from a threshing floor"
 He said it would be shame to deprive them of that. pleasure. a :. szzals s.cs The commissioners passed ths rratter up on the grounds that as he shop was not in operation they had no authority to a bate a nuisance before it was created. and thus the matter ended.
