DEL DRAKE is UNFORTUNATE
Former Detroit Tiger, Sent Back Be.
cause Too Young, Finally Let Go
Because Too Old.

About the most unfortunate mortal
in baseball is Del Drake, who had two
or three trials with the Tigers, and
who was handed the pleasant task
of trying to pry Cobb, Crawford, McIn-
tyre or Jones out of his job. Del never
seems to be the right age. Detroit
kept sending him back because he
didn't have enough experience, which
is one way of saying that he was too
young. Now 1t is reported that Mem
phis, which took him when the St.
Louis Feds passed him up, has let him
20 because he's too old.
Somewhere between there must
have been a right age for Drake. But
it did him no good, unless 1t was to
land him two seasons with the indie
pendents at a better salary than he
ever got in organized ball. His
ascribed reason for hurdling was that
O. B.-which in his case meant the
Detroit club-never had given him a
fair deal. Nobody wanted him when
the war ended, and he probably will
Glass B it from now on.

His Present Occupation.

Mrs. Brown believed in treating her
servant like a human being. So she
always allowed her to have her young
man in the kitchen in the evening. But
Mrs. Brown was also of a curious dis
position. and. knowing the girl was en-
pertaining a new swain, she stole soft
ly downstairs and listened at the kitch-
en- door. She got no reward for her
pains. All within was silence. Next
morning she said to her maid: MARY,
that young man of yours seems very
quiet. I never hear any sound of talk
ing while he IS here" "Lor' bless you,
num-" replied the girl, with blush
and giggle, hes that shy he's done
nothin' but eat to the PRESENT."

WHICH is THE LoNELIER?

For some this earth is a paradise
And they live in a long. sweet dream,
While others live from day to day
Pulling forever against the stream.
The independent bachelor girl is
more apt to deny than not that she has
lonely moments, while, on the con-
trary. a widow never let's up impress
ing you with her loneliness, real or
imaginary.
The spinster who is any age be-
tween thirty and over has seen enough
of life to realize what she is missing
in not having q husband, home and
children of her own. She looks about
among her married woman friends and
studies their condition. II they have q
pain in their little finger, hubby calls
Up half dozen times day from his
nffice to inquire if the pain has sub
sided or if he hadn't better call doc
tor. Her children are as solicitous.
One holds her hand, another smooths
her forehead, while the others are en-
deavoring to charm the pain away.
The bachelor girl, alone in her small
rented room, may have pains in her
whole body and there is no one to
know or care. She feels keenly the
lack of solicitude and sympathy.

VIOLIN REMEDIES SORE ARM
Dickinson College Player Regains Use
of Wing by Constant Practice on
Musical instrument.

Attributing his comeback" as a
pitcher to playing a violin, Fred Good
hart of Dickinson college baseball nine,
is for the first time since the summer
of 1910 in good physical shape. His
arm is without any trace of the sore
ness which handicapped him for six
seasons.
Goodhart, until 1910, had been max
ing a record when his right arm de-
veloped lameness which massaging
and the usual remedies could not re-
lieve. He quit baseball and entered
Dickinson college. In 1915 Goodhart
was able to twirl one game-that
against Bucknell-which he won. His
arm was so lame afterward that he
was dropped from the squad.
During the past winter Goodhart, In
his spare time, has been playing a
violin with a local orchestra, which
required much practfcing. He fully
believes that in the extended arm mo-
ton required in playing lies the secret
of his recovery.

WHAT LOVE MEANS TO MAN.

A man fell in love. What was that to
him?
Twas all. Twas the breath Of his life
twas hymn
OF the soul whose music and rhythm and
ring
Were sweeter than songs that the angels
sing.
He loved. That was all-but it filled up
his life
So that all of his thought was of mar
riage and wife.
Before the heart of man has
been touched by the tender passion,
he is a cynic in regard to love. He
does not think it worth while to give
it thought. He slaps his bachelor
chums on the back and tells them how
lucky they are in being free lances.
He actually pities the man who is
tied down to one woman's apron
strings, as he phrases it.
No matter how fascinating the wom-
en- with whom he is brought in con-
tact may be, he prides himself upon
the fact that when they are out Of
his sight they are out Of his mind.
He is amused at the girls who set
their caps for him under their NAM
mas directions. He knows-what
they don't know-that it is time lost.
But he is a man with mans, In
stincts and his heritage for loving.
His heart may be plant Of slow
growth, but he cannot live his life
out without it's breaking into blossom
soon or late.
All men are not attracted by the
same type of woman. 1t takes GER
tain particular heart to mate with
some other heart. Outward beauty OF
face or form or brilliant intellect has
nothing to do with it. 1t is the un-
mistakable power of mutual attrac-
ton, that wonderful magnet so indie
scribable, yet the golden key, to I'M
lock love, the chord in each heart
which vibrates to the touch of but
one only. Two may meet strangers,
glance casually into each others eyes,
and without spoken word or clasp
of the hand each may realize the infiu-
ence which means the awakening OF
the heart. A woman ponders over
this sweet and new sensation roman
tically, yet earnestly. With man it
is different. He finds himself COM
pletely submerged in the labyrinth OF
an unseen power. Love strikes into
mans breast deeper than is the case
with woman.
He realizes that 1t is mans destiny.
He is filled with the fever of unrest
until he is presented to the woman
whose personality has such an infiu-
ence. Her presence, the sound Of her
voice, and the touch of her hand add
to his enthrallment. She is ever in
his thoughts. He cannot get away
from them if he would.
He loved! 1t opened out new
world to him. The one fear that OPP
pressed him was that he was not
good enough for her.
He laughs at scars who never felt
sword cut. Nothing is as it was be-
fore to him. He realizes Gods plan
to mate-that it is not we'll for man
to live alone; that he needs the gentle
companionship of a noble, virtuous
woman to guide him Alright through
this forward world Of temptation and
folly. He realizes marriage makes or
mars a man. Marriage means every
thing to him.

the bench one afternoon.
Meyers dropped his bat and started
for Tinker. McGraw started for Mey-

"Doggone that Tinker. Remarks like

Meyers.

him and the angry redskin. Meyers

scored runs, but he was banished from
the game for his display Of temper and

EXCITING FLAG RACE
None More Promising Than Pres
ent in American League.
Six Almost Certain Contenders for
Championship in Opinion of Pres
ident Ban Johnson-CleveIand
Is Doubtful.
(By BAN B. JOHNSON, President of the
American League

By BAN B. JOHNSON, President of the
American League.)
With the baseball season of 1916 In
full bloom, enthusiasm in Uncle Sam
great national game is everywhere ap-
parent. This enthusiasm furnishes
striking contrast to the period imme-
diately preceding the campaigns of
1914 and 1915.
1t is needless for me to refer to the
distressing conditions under which the
game labored in the last two years,
for these are still fresh in the minds
of every fan. Suffice it to say, that
the situation having been clarified
during the winter months, baseball 10
again due for period Of prosperity
which l hope will equal, if not sur
pass, those wonderfully prosperous
seasons of 1912 and 1913.
Believing in the doctrine of pre-
paredness, the American league club
owners have their teams on edge and
eager for the fray, as the result Of
long training seasons under southern
skies. We have had many exciting
races for our pennants, but l cannot
recall one which was more promising
than that which is now upon us.
Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York,
Washington and st. Louis are, from
my point of view, almost certain con-
tenders for the right to get into the
world series next October. Cleveland,
an unknown quantity at present, may
develop enough speed and stamina to
make matters decidedly lively and in
teresting for the others.
The Cleveland club is in the hands
OF the new owners this year-men of
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-05-25

brains and push and money. The
question of expense will not enter
into their calculations if they can
strengthen their team and make it
factor in the championship race.
Another one of our clubs also
changed hands during the winter-St.
Louis. The manager of this club is
none other than Fielder Jones, who
led the White Sox to the worlds cham
pionship in 1906. Jones, when in the
American league, always showed re-
markable ability in handling team,
and he knew how to get the best re-
suits out of his men. That's why l
think the st. Louis team, with Jones
as it's pilot, should be rated as a pos
sible pennant contender.
AS for Connie Mack, he is still en-
gagged in the arduous task of rebuild
ing his Athletics, but Connie, wizard
that he is, can hardly hope to figure
seriously in the race of 1916. But, at
that, he may surprise us.
In conclusion, 1 wish to say that
with normal conditions in the base
ball world restored, major and minor
league club owners, the country over,
face the future with a feeling of con-
fidence-a feeling that the grand old
game has come back, and that the
fans are now ready and anxious to
support it as enthusiastically as they
did in the days of its greatest pros
perity.
