There's chance enough for every
one but not in every race;

Your trade is overcrowded? Well,

A driver out of work can take to
other things than carting;
Ambition does not fold its hands
and quit at one sound thrashing;
You aren't worth a tinker's dam
If you can't stand a smashing;

writer's are word squanderers.
Charles A. Dana once begged to be excused for the
length of letter, "but, he added whimsically, s'I

Exactness requires care. The price of good aim is

Nevertheless, He Must Be in

Tuesday at the Pioneer Sporting club,
one of the boys asked me how felt.
Never felt better in my life" 1 re-
piled, and the best thing about it was
that it was the gospel truth. Many
times you hear of a fighter slapplng
himself on the chest and declaring in
loud tones he was never better, when
he was really trying to fool persons
In my case, it is entirely different. 1
am as fit as a top and l feel better
about it than the promoters and those
who have been worried about my con-
dition.
The only bother that sticks around
is a slight cold in my head. The way
it is disappearing indicates that by the
end CT the week my head will be as
clear as crystal. While nothing to
cause a fellow any worry, a cold in the
head is about the most annoying thing
that could be wished on anyone.
Has Long Work.
When the old "code id the head"
was Fostering me at home I felt like
smashing everything in the house.
There was 1, a big fellow walking
around sneezing and with the tears
dropping as if 1 was afflicted with a
perpetual case of weeps. The Riddles
used to look at me in a sort of mourn
full fashion and then run away and
laugh.
The only part of this training
schedule that is bound to be a nuisance
| is the length OF time 1 will have to
keep working. Four weeks is certainly
long period to spend getting in con-
dition for a 10-round bout. The past
two days have been a sort of novelty
and the next few will be all right, but
the last week or sol hate to think
about it.
Training is like everything else in
| the world-it must be done in modera-
ton. 1 could easily start in to work
hard daily without let up and by the
time March 25 arrives l would be as
dry as a bone and more fit to die than
fight.
Must Use Horse Sense.
That's where l am forced to use
horse sense and avoid the least I'M
nece ssary waste of strength and en-
ergy. If you follow up the lives of the
big leaders of this country you will

that one must take matters too easy.
That is as bad as either of the two

TWO MORE SIGNED
Savages Get a New Pitcher and
X. u. Recruit.
Osborne of Central League
Classy Young Twirler.

Despite the fact that he announced
some time ago that his team was
about complete. John Savage contin-
ues to sign players for his Topeka club,
and when the men begin dropping in
on the 31st of this month the chef Of
some local hotel will find that he has
a little army of athletes to cook for.
The latest acquired talent includes
Ralph D. Sproull. the Kansas univer-
sity pitcher and first baseman, whose
signed contract was received Tuesday
afternoon, and Arch Osborne, a left
handed reaper-twirler from the Cen
tral league, who accepted terms this
morning.
Osborne was discovered by Manager

ing youngster. In 1914 he began his
career with the Pendleton club of the

winning one and losing one. Then he
was sent to the Fort Wayne club of
the Central league, where he remained
until the end of the season. For Fort
Wayne Osborne won 10 games and lost
only >. He allowed only 2.55 earned
runs per game and finished the season
with a better record than was made
by his team as a whole, which is a
pretty good recommendation.
Lefty Sproull, the X. u. player.
is now employed as an assistant coach
at the Jayhawker school and will not
report to the club until June /, but
he has been highly recommended to
Savage, and if he can land a perma-
nent place on the team it is thought
he will become a good drawing card.
He has been used both as a pitcher
and first baseman on the K u. team.
baltimore Ready to Come.
In a letter that Savage received
from baltimore Tuesday, the new
manager stated that he expected to be
here without fail by the goth of the
month.
Savage has not yet made arrange

game to be played with the Fort

local men re well aware of the fact
that they will have all they can han
die when they meet them.
Dwight Ream himself will pilot the

will go to the game to see what Kind
of an organization he has. The game
will begin promptly at 2:30.

X. U. WINS LAST GAME.
Jayhawlers End Basketball Season by
Defeating Missouri. 81 to 10.

versity five which the night before had
administered to the Jayhawkers a Al

Kansas held the Tigers to a total of
three field goals for the entire game,
which indicates how much Coach
Hamilton's Jayhawkers outclassed the
visitors.
