Shift in TWO
Baseball Struggles
BY KIRK G. MILLER.

The scenes shift today In the Eastern
and Western amphitheater of baseball
hostilities. In the National League the
Western teams are playing the Eastern
clubs on those backgrounds situated
along the Atlantic coast, while the
American League teams OF the seaboard
are being entertained by the Western
ers. The visit will continue for some
thing more than two weeks, seventeen
days to be exact. each TANNED full with
diamond action. and double-headers
scheduled for many.

But Il single game keeps McGraw's s

are playing today and the rest OF the

rode a stormy sea as manager Of the

the plate for the Giants in one of those

career to the Giants, and McGraw will
use him for a second string backstop.
Doom once was rated among the pre-
ynier catchcrs of the country. and still Is
mechanically as good as most Of the
backstops. The managerial worry and
continual catching at Philadelphia
sapped his strength. however, until dur

ITEMS OF INTEREST CLEANED FROM EXCHANGES

Mayer was released by the Germans
after proof of his American citizen
ship had been made through the eff
forts of the State Department, assist
ed by Congressman Burke at this end
of the line. Mayer has two brothers
who are still residents of Dodge coun-
ty, farmers who live about two miles
from Rubicon.
Mr.. Mayer left New York City in
1912 for Germany where he made an
extended visit to relatives, he being of
German descent. He was in Bavaria
at the time the war broke out and was
picked up by the German authorities
and held at Post Eichendorf in Baya-
ria. He at once made a vigorous pro-
test and enlisted the services of the
American consul in one of the Bava-
rian towns. Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin communicated the facts in the
case to the State Department at Wash
ingtOn which, in turn, asked Congress-
man Burke to secure proofs of May
ers American Citizenship. In spite
of the fact that it was conclusively
proven that Mayer was a native of
Wisconsin, it was nearly year before
he was released.

that worry you and see what becomes
of them, it would benefit you. You al
low thing to annoy you, just as you
allow a fly to settle on you and plague
you; and you lose your temper and
you justify yourself by being thrown
off your balance by causes which you
do not trace out. But if you could see
what it was that threw you off your
balance before breakfast and put il
down in little book, and follow up
and follow it out, and ascertain what
becomes of it, you would see what a
fool you were in the matter" The art
or forgetting is blessed art, but the
art OF overlooking is quite as impor-
tant.And If we should take time to
write down the origin, progress and
outcome OF few of our troubles, il
would make us so ashamed of the fuss
we make over them, that we should be
glad to drop such things and bury
them at once in eternal forgetfulness
