Shafer at Third.

"I recall an instance,' continued Devlin, :" when I was hurt one day and lilly Shafer was sent to third. At the end of week, just before I was back he called one night at my room. If you don't get back to- morrow" said Shafer T am going home.' Whats the trouble?' I asked. Third base he said. Trying to play that bag right will drive any man crazy in a, month. I'm close to a nervous wreck now. I always liked baseball before, but not this part of it..
 "Shafer had the answer. The man who doesn't try to plan and study batters and shift to meet the play will never be a star at third. The man who does is always under a heavy strain. Either way you are up against it.

Tigers Bunch Their Hits.

Detroit. April 25.--The Tigers took the final game of the series from the White Sox by a score of ( to 2 yesterday. All Detroit's runs were scored in the fourth inning Bush was hit, Witt and Kavanaugh singled and Veach doubled, which, with Eddie Collins wild throw, sent four tallies across. Williams pitched the rest of the game and allowed no further scoring. The Sox made eight hits off Coveleski, but in only two innings could they bunch enough to score.
 Ray Schalk, star backstop of the White SoX, was injured in the fourth inning and was forced to leave the, game. The extent of his injuries is rot yet determined. Schalk tripped and fell while chasing a wild heave by Eddie Collins. The score:

X Reason or So.

Desiring information as to why third base should be so hard to play, we put the query up to Art Devlin, the old Giant star.
 At second and short" said Devlin, "you don't have to do much gues- sing or planning. You stand back on the grass and then play the ball as it comes. At third you are plan ming and guessing all the time. If you get back too far there is the bunt to stand you on your head. If you come in too close there is the hard smash to break down your guard And when a ball is hit Gown the third basemen's way he hasn't any time to get set. If he isn't quick on his feet and quick with lis hands the play is by him be- fore he can breathe.". ...>.

In Case You Demand Proof.

In Case You Demand Proof.
 The proof here is simple enough. In the last twenty years the game Is fairly bubbling with grand out fielders-Speaker, Cobb, Donlin, Kelley, Burns, etc., etc. .~
 Also with great first basement Chase, McInnis, Penney, Chance and others.
 Equally with star second basemen Collins, Laojie, Evers, Barry, Lowe, etc.
 There has been all the great short stops you want-Wagner, Tinker Maranville, Bush, Long and half dozen others.
 But, since 1900 there have been just three. great third basemen that we can think of now-three, that is, who stand out above the field-Jimmy Collins, Art Devlin and Bill Bradley.

TANKS ONCE MORE
 BOW TO JOHNSON
For Third Time This Season DonG
 vans Men Lose to Walter

Washington, April 25.--Walter Johnson seems to be about the only Washington pitcher who is able to beat the Yankees, for the Kansas cyclore, after winning both New York and Washington opening day games, put on the finishing touches here yesterday afternoon. Donovan's clan never had a chance. the score being 8 to 2. ..r.s5 Es..t
 Manager Griffith intended pitching Gallia against the New Workers. but those two previous defeats rankIed in his breast, and he announced to the newspaper men just before the game, I'm going to give 'em Walter Johnson again, for we want to win that game.'
 So effective was Johnson that not a, member of the visiting club reached first base until the seventh inning, when the speed king began lobbing the. ball over the plate.
 Bob Shawkey started the game for the Tanks, but a fierce bonn bardment in the fourth inning, when he was reached for a pair of singles and a triple almost in a row, caused his retirement. Nick Cullop replaced, him. The score: New York ..... 000000002-2 6 0 Washington =. 00240o11*-s 0
 Batteries-Shawkey Cullop, Shoe ker and Nunamaker; Johnson and Ainsmith.

As to These PhillieS?

No one picked the Phillies to win last season, and we have heard of no one picking them for the present campaign. Yet they lost no great time hustling back to the perch they occupied last October against much stronger opposition that they were forced to meet last year. As we see it, Pat Moran has an underrated ball club. He has the pitching and the punch-a combination that will go quite a way when. handled by leader like Moran. Any club that picks them out for f1uke champions is as poor a picker as Jack Dillon was when he went out after Jess Willard.

Danny Meadow Mouse Is
Missed.

Reddy Fox was puzzled, very much
puzzled. 1t was because he was so
very much puzzled that he spent a
great deal of time on the Green
Meadows and in Farmer Browns corn
field. You see it was a regular part
of Reddy's daily life. and had been
almost ever since he could remember,
to try to surprise Danny Meadow
Mouse. When food was very scarce,
and Reddy seldom knew what it felt
like to have a full stomach, he could
always trot down on the Green
Meadows and try to catch Danny or
Nanny Meadow Mouse. OF course he
always failed or there wouldn't be any
Danny Meadow Mouse to write about,
but somehow there was always a
pleasant feeling in knowing that
Danny was there and some time might
be caught. You know how it Is when
you have some pennies in bank that
can't be opened until it is full. You
want very much to buy some candy,
but you can't get the pennies out. So
you go without the candy because
you must, but all the time there is a
comfortable feeling that the pennies
have them to spend. 1t was in much
this way that Reddy Fox thought of
Danny Meadow Mouse.
But for some time now Reddy had
had much the same feeling that you
would have If you discovered that your
bank had disappeared He knew that
Danny and Nanny had moved from the

WOULD NOT JEOPARDIZE
THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Joining by q. S. o? League to En-
force Peace Upheld in State
ment Just Issued.

NEW YORK. December 2s.-For the
United States to join a league of ma
tions to enforce world peace after the
present European war would In no
wise be jeopardizing the Monroe doc
trine-certainly not to any greater ex-
tent than it already has been jeopar-
ized by some thirty -odd treaties" is the
view expressed in formal statement
issued by the League to Enforce Peace,
of which former President Taft Is the
head.
The fact is that since 1913" the
statement says, "the United States has
become party to treaties with France,
Great Britain, Russia. other European
and South and Central American states,
in which the high contracting parties
agree that all disputes between them of
every nature whatsoever. TO the settle

TO declare war or begin hostilities dur
ing such investigation and before the
report is submitted The re-
port shall be presented in the maxi
mum period of one year. These treaties
still have some time to run.
Plainly, therefore, the United States
Is already bound to submit disputes
even involving the Monroe doctrine to
a body which would meet the require
ments of the platform Of the League to

der II they can have made their home
somewhere else"
So Reddy began a careful search of
all that part of the Green Meadows
nearest the cornfield and still found no
traces of Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse. When the first snow fell Reddy
grinned. This would help him in his
funny little tracks somewhere. But he
didn't. Not SO much as one lonesome
little track of Danny or Nanny Meadow
Mouse could he find, and he hunted
everywhere.
Can it be-" said he to himself, that
some one else has caught them?"
After that he spent much time spy
ing on Old Man Coyote and Roughleg
the Hawk. both of whom are as fond
of Meadow Mouse as he himself. 1t
didn't take him long to find out that
they, too, were looking for Danny and
Nanny. Every night Old Man Coyote
would visit that part of the Green
Meadows where Danny and Nanny used
to live. and spend some time hunting
there. Every, night Hooty the Owl
would fly back and forth several times
over that place. Every day Roughleg
the Hawk would sit for the longes,
he could watch. that particular place.
1t was very clear to Reddy that they
knew no more about Danny and Nanny
than he did.
cornfield Reddy searched and searched
again. He even went over to the dear
Old Briar Patch and artfully inquired
of Peter how Danny Meadow Mouse
was. You see he thought that Danny
might have gone there to live. He
watched Peter sharply and he knew
by the little sigh of relief that Peter
gave that Peter was telling the truth
when he replied that he didn't know
anything about Danny and was worried
for fear something had happened to
him, for he hadn't seen him for long
time. That little sigh of relief was
because Peter knew by Reddy's ques-
tion that Reddy hadn't caught Danny,
and that was what Peter had very
much feared when he had missed Dan
ny for SO long.
Something must have happened to
him. but I haven't the least idea what
said Reddy. Il haven't found any trace
of him for ever so long. and neither
has Granny Fox nor Old Man Coyote
nor Roughleg the Hawk nor Hooty the
Owl. It's too bad. We certainly do
miss him."
And all the time Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse were warm and COM
