Make Believe

Take a pair OF chickens snowy,
Harness 'em with bits of string;
Drive em out the meadow
Where the first blue volets spring.
Make believe that you're princess,
Talking in foreign tongue \
Riding through a golden palace;
-(Yes, it's easy-if you're youngO
All the world is bright TO greet you;
When your snowy chargers prance
Out the dusty roadway
All the daisies seem 10 dance.
Every blade O. grass is bowling,
Every cowslp bell is rling
just to give you joy and pleasure.
Yes, it's easy--if you're youngN
When the springtme OF your fancy
Mes away TO winter grim;
When the leavesGf youth and childhood
Flutter from the highest limb
Take pair Of memory chickens
Harness 'em with strands OF gold
Make believe-an' make il easy

Ump Chesnutt Aspires to be a poli-
 tiCian, Has Tried Before

Newark, N. J., April 24-Scott E. Chesnutt of Birmingham, Ala, latest addition to the International League umpire staff, is in town Scotty's last name is kind of hard on an umpire, but they say he has the goods.
 Chesnutt once had political aspira- tions. Three years ago he ran for Lieutenant Governor of Alabama on a local option ticket and he was beat en by only 10000 votes. Then he took to law, being a graduate of Alabama State University, and finally he took to umpiring.
 Chestnut was in the Southern League for two years having s1rceed- ed Pill Hart. When Hart quit the Ma tional League as arbiter last year he said he was through with baseball But when the players started going South Hart got the wanderlust and applied for an umpire's job in the Southern League. By some trick of chance he succeeded Chesnutt, who had succeeded him two years before.

BOston'S Bad Luck.

Fate struck at the Boston Braves last season by removing Johnny E,vers and Bill James from pennant cast. The same unkempt Fate has taken another whack at Stall1ngs
 club by removing Sherwood Magee for a month. Magee is a hard hitter and a fine outfielder, but there Is con- solation for the game in general the Braves are the best club in the circuit and can stand the loss ot star better than any rival. So Il any club had to be weakened it was for the good of the race that Boston should absorb the wallop. The one detail that might prevent great Ma tional league race-one of the great est in years-Would be a command ing lead by the Braves before July.

Not So Very.

A contemporary says it is nothing short of foolshness to suggest that Willard will be too heavy to fight at the end of a year or two. Not at all. Only dope out the situation for your self. Willard fought Johnson in April, 1915, when he weighed 243 pounds He came to New York late in February to train for Moran. He then weighed, in his clothes, PIP bounds. This means stripped weight ct about 261. The Kansan then trained five weeks for the Moran en- counter. When he entered the ring t,e weighed 259 1-2. Tn the course of five weeks he had been able to prune away exactly i 1-2 pounds. Willard against Moran was 16 pounds heavier than he was against John son. He might be able to fight at 270, but this would be a lot of weight to carry for twenty rounds. Above 275 pounds the champion would be entirely too bulky to go the long route, although he might slip by in the ten-round affairs.

BUSINESS MEN WIN
 INDOOR PENNANT
Bill Mangan's Pets Although Old Age IS Creeping On Them, Show the
 Youngsters Some Tricks.

Ine curtain was rung down on the saturday Night Indoor baseball league at the Y. M. c. A. Saturday evening and with it went the pennant to the Business Mems team, who by their brilliant work succeeded in keeping a clean slate of victories. The final game brought together the pennant winners and the Pioneers, the former gaining the verdict, score to 2. Slater and Sake were in points for the b. m seven and Williams and Stephanian for the losers. In the second game the West Ends clinched second place honors with 16 to i 3 victory over the Alumni. .Hultgren and Stepanian worked for the West Ends while Mill Ter and Robinson composed the bat tery for the Alumni.
 The work of the Business Men throughout the several weeks of the league, has been featured by clever
 playing by the entire team To Slater,
 the clever little hurler, too much
 credit cannot be emphasized for his
 steady pitching. Time and again when
 the team found itself in a tight place,
 this wonderful speed merchant would start something which by the response of his teammates terminated in a vic- tory.
 "Morrie" Sake behind the bat was
 tower of strength to his team. While SaXes friends have always looked I upon him as a clever player he sur prised everyone by the wonderful SUD- port he rendered Slater. The old boy was sure there with the willow, time
 and again smashing the sphere out
 for one and two sack clouts which put the game on ice.
 DOC" Dunn started the season at first base for the Business Mems team but was forced to lay off early to de- vote more time to preparing his long life pills. Campbell who filled in the
 gap, put up stellar game both at fielding and at the bat
 At the east side of the diamond was found a person who although he
 looked in his gymnasium suit as if he had arrived recently from the Sol- diers' home, dispelled any thoughts
 along these lines by the clever man. ner in which he guarded the dizzy corner This party was none other than our old friend Judge "Bill' Man. 1 gan, and although the writer has
 never seen "Bill'' pound the pill in
 savage fashion, we have his word that this was accomplished.
 Out in the pasture was found ca- vorting two "kids,'' Bert Loomis and Sec" Barnes. Anything that went their way was usually gobbed up, and at the bat the pair were terrors to the
 opposing pitchers. Siegrist although
 a resident of Berlin, put up Q fine l game, and WOjeck, the utility man, 1 was always equal to the occasion when l called upon. The standing of the 1 clubs follows:

TIGER PRACTICE ENDS.
Candidates For Tiger 1916 Eleven Can
 Rest Until Fall

Princeton, N. J., April 24.-with the advent of Easter recess last week, spring football practice ended at Princeton university. More than a hundred candidates put in an appear ance for workouts during the pracx tice, record number in Princeton's football history. Perhaps a more inn portant result was that the coaches were able to familiarize themselves with the candidates for next falls team, and can map out their prob- lems in advance. Just who the as- sistant coaches will be next year is not yet known. but it seems probable that Cruikshank, center of the great WashS Jeff team of 1914 who was deservedlv mentioned for All-American honors. will be one. He is studying for the ministry at the Princeton seminary and has helped in the spring work. Several members of last years team should also be considered

 Under an orchard tree today Where the April snow of the blooms
 drift down, There's a lad that dreams of the
 world away Of name and fame in the open fray Of a Road that leads to a walled-in And over the meadows the roll of
 drums And the call of the silver bugle
 comes. Under an April sky today When the air is sweet with the
 breath of Spring, There's a lad that dreams of the
 laurelled way, Of a crown that waits, where the
 world at bay, Is driven back by a Gdd-made king And the yellow sunfhino' drifting
 deep, z Is dim where the lights of his king
 dom sweep. Worn in the toll and the strife today Where the rush and roar of the town
 goes by, There's a man that dreams of the
 fields away Of an orchard tree in the Land of
 Play Where a lad once looked to an April
 sky; And over the city: faint and low, A lost song drifts from the long ago. There's man that dreams in town
 today Of a Road tht leads to the vanished wrath Of an April dream from an old, old way, 1 Dim in the shadows that stand at bay, 1 Night-crowned by the mound or buried faith The faith of a lad who had one day
 dreamed Of fame to come where the tall : lights gleamed.

Those who were predicting that Penny Kauff would be a big f1zzle arc low entitled to revise their estimates. Quite a select array of fans have wagered their kale that Benny would not bat 300 on the year. They may win this bet, but we wouldn't cahe to have. it. Benny is first class hitter, and With his batting eye, plus his speed, has as good a chance to hat 300 as Larry Doyle or Jake Daubert, who have both led the Ma tional league. We are not wagering upon. the matter, but if we were we would rather have our coin on Kauffs beating the 300 mark than have it against him.
