BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
21-PLAYER RULE HANDICAP
TO NATIONAL LEAGUE

BY Mark Shields
Various dopesters are at work on
literary gems this morning, proving
by their verbal flow that the Red
SOx defeated Brooklyn, and won the
worlds championship through supe-
rior pitching, a better defense and
an abundance of courage and deter
minatiOn.
They are seeking to show the
American league incompaTably
stronger than Nthe National, and
every angle of the dope bears out
this contention. But when they say
the National is weaker because of
faults on the part of the athletes
they are shooting wide of the mark.
Eight gentlemen owning clubs in
the National league-that is, eight
men who speak for the clubs, for
some of them have enough stock
holders to populate a small village
are responsible for the series of re-.
Bluffs the National has received at
the hands of the American. They
get some comfort out of the licking
the Braves pinned on the Athletics
three years ago, but even during
that season must admit that the
National was the weaker Organiza-
ton.
These CLUB owners, pihching the
immediate penny and having no
vision for the future, have voted that
their teams be limited to 21 men
during the major portion of the play
ing season. A manager must discov-
er early in the campaign what his
athletes can do, fer he has no ex-
tended time to carry them and ex-
pertinent Frequently he must make
snap judgment, let man go, only to
see that fellow, under training. and
careful tutelage,- develop into a star
with some other aggregation.
So Jealous are the National mar.

IS War. Tine r.

the bullets were kept. Along the top
of the trench many bags of sand were
piled, but there were holes through
which the soldiers could shoot. or
course, it was not real trench, but
just the same it gives one good idea
of all the cold and suffering that the
men in the trenches must stand. In
the field they have hospitals right UNI
der the ground, and here the first aid
to the injured is given.
Outside the exhibition building, in
another part of the trench lot, was a
display of wire entanglements. They
we're made by firm in Berlin, and |
get past them. The most interesting
part of the whole show was the exhibit
ton Of war posters from all Germany's
enemies. They had posters from
France, Italy and Russia, but the ones
from England were the most read.
They were all urging the men to arms.
Besides the poster show they had
many interesting war pictures. Each
country had a section of pictures, and
America was represented by photos OF
Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Ford, Mr.. Edison and
Mr.. Daniels. Teddy was not there.
We had our dinner in the FAULKNER
brau, a new restaurant that was opened
before Christmas. 1t is a very nice
restaurant, and the things to eat are
very reasonable. Among other things
had two pork chops and potatoes and
they just cost 80 cents. You can't do
any better than that in America.
Bathing Is "Verboten."
After dinner we went to Grunewald
to a little inn we know there. 1t was
such day, such beautiful day! The
sun shone through the trees. To get
to the inn you must first walk through
a bit of forest, and after a little you
come to little lake. 1t is very pref
ty lake where bathing is "verboten."
The walk runs along the lake and it
finally leads to little hunting lodge,
which looks like tiny castle. 1t has
many red-roofed towers and latticed
windows, and in the center is large
court, which is decorated with many
deers' heads.
At the other end of the lake is the
inn, which was packed, of course.
Everybody was drinking coffee and
chatting. Half of the men were sob

could see 1t, for Brummel always said
that simplicity and elegance were the
keynotes of fashion. German generals
wear great bright red stripes down
their trouser legs. These stripes are
about six inches wide, and can be seen
a German square. Most of the gen.
erals are rather pompous looking, and
| find the leutnants, oberleutnants,
oberarZts and hauptmann more fetch
ing. They are all very handsome and
they are the finest, cleverest men in
all this glorious, young Germany. They
stand so straight and look so soldierly.
After we left the cafe we went to
see the exhibition of war things that is
being held at Geological gardens. They
war and soldier They have a num-
Der of captured cannon, British,
French and Russian. They have two
English aeroplanes and number of
motcrboats. They have uniforms of all
the warning nations. Some of the cos
tunes were very beautiful. The Bull
garian were especially so, but they
were almost too gay to be very practi-
CAL The models that wore the uni
forms were very funny. They have
hands and feet of wooden dolls, but
their faces were most realistic look
ing; indeed, some of them seemed to
be winking at you.
Just Like Real Trench.
Outside the main exhibition build
ing, on large lot, trench had been
built 1t had been built by soldiers
that had been in the war, so it was ex-
actly like the real ones. You enter a
trench by going down steps. and this
one was about seven feet high and
about three feet wide Radiating from
all the sides of the main part of the
trench were other passages and rooms.
The officers room was, OF course, the
finest. Ii was lined with canvas and
cloth and was furnished with an old
couch and some chairs. Iron lanterns
hung from the ceiling and these make
both the light and the heat for the
trenchmen. On the wall hung large
sign, Butter ausverkauft" (butter sold
QUIT Empty tin cans were also hung
on the wall and they are used for
matches, and cigars, etc.
The common soldiers had a larger
room, but not nearly so fine as this OF
ficers' quarters. Every here and there
on the sides of the main passage OF the
trencs were little cupboards. where

The tramp followed him in, and they
sat down on the bench in front of the
living room. The tramp could see into
the neatly furnished house.

said the tramp. "A little different

His voice broke. Randall might
have tried to take advantage of his
weakness to plead with him, but he
only sat dumbly beside him.

Randall still returned no answer.

tramp, clenching his fists. Il waited

CULTIVATE HABIT OF TRUTH
of All Virtues in the Minds of
Their Children.
Teach your children to be truthful.

Teach your children to be truthful.
Impress upon them that if they tell
you the truth they will be given far
less punishment than they would re-
ceive if they lied to you.
The parent who has a child he can
rely on to tell the truth is fortunate.
1t is worth a good deal to know
where anyone stands, and a truthful
child is the most teachable one, for
you know where to find him.
Truth-telling raises the standard of
everyone who is known to possess
this good quality.
Those who tell the truth may not
always be the most popular, but they
never fail to command respect, and
that is worth great deal more.
The man whose word can be relied
upon occupies an enviable place in the
community.
The place is not overcrowded.
A truthful man follows a truthful
youngster. Truthfulness is a habit Of
mind
1t may take some time and tact to
make a truthful boy out of that lad of
yours, but il is worth all the effort
it requires. Set an example of truth,
but do not let it end there. The secret
of success in everything worth while
in this life lies in the habit of truth.
Truth is the eternal law of being.

many damsels had managed to scrape
up officers with whom to go walking
on this fine afternoon. Most OF the
people had brought their cakes along
with them, and then ordered coffee.
This would not be considered the
thing in America, but in Germany it
is in very good taste.
When we returned home we went by
another way, and over on the other
side of the lake were number of Rus

was watching them from the, hill. He
was not stationed there to keep them
from escaping, but to keep them work

how they liked Germany "Oh, it is
fine" they answered. Much better
than Russia" They wanted to talk
more, but the soldier on the hill shout
ed something and they all commenced

In the evening we went to a variety
show The performance was rather
poor, but the large theater was abso-
lutely packed. Men composed half the
audience, and more than half the men
were soldiers. Between the acts every
body paraded up and down the corri-
dor and drank beer. Some of the
hungry ones ate sausage sandwiches.
The show lasted until 1870.

One Sunday
Morning
PIP
By HAROLD CARTER

By HAROLD CARTER

James Randall, standing at his gar
den gate, was at peace with all the
world that sunny morning in early
summer His wife and daughter were
at church; he himself had been kept in
by a cold, but the weather was so
balmy that it had tempted him into
the garden. AS he stood there, secure
In his sense of social integrity, not a
memory of the past troubled him.
Up the street came a tramp Ran
dali frowned. Tramps were not en-
couraged In that suburban district,
which prided itself upon its social or
der. The man stopped at the gate and
regarded him quietly.
Got a dime to spare, mister?" he
asked.
Randall's hand sought his pocket. 1t
was his instinct to be charitable, but
on second thought he refrained. The
man might be an impostor. No man
needed to be out OF work these days.
II guess there was a time when you
done your bit of panhandling," said the
beggar, sneering.
Randall looked at him with growing
horror. clutched at the bars of the
gate and breathed like man with apo
plexy.

tramp. Il found you at last, and l

tramp cooled, he seemed possessed by
a devil of vengeance.

then I'll hound you back to the peni-
Tertiary 10 serve out your fifteen
years"
Randall lifted his head and spoke.
But that won't give you back your
daughter, he said gently.
The tramp sprang to his feet. You
know where she isl" he swore.
Randall got up. There was new
dignity in his manner as he confronted
the other. Yes, l know" he an
swered She is happily married, to
a man who is kind to her, and she
knows nothing of her father And |
shall never tell you where she is
You're lying!" jeered the tramp.
You never went near her. II you had.
you'd have taken her for your own.
And you haven't got an adopted daugh-
ter nor never had. You lie, just as
you used to lie
Randall gazed impassively down the
street. He saw that folks were leaving
the church and strolling homeward.
Among them were his wife and daugh-
ter, happy, little dreaming of what the
future had in store for them. The fell
low saw his look and interpreted it
correctly.
Quick, now" he said roughly. 'If
you tell me where my Lily is, Ill-Fll
hold off until can go and see whether
whether you kept your word to me.
If you don't tell me I'll denounce you.

Randall, but you will never know.

No" answered Randall.
His wife and daughter entered the
gate and came into the garden, then,
seeing Randall in conversation with
tramp, hesitated The tramp looked
at them in establishment. Somehow,
now that his vengeance was at hand,
he hesitated to use it.

has something to say
Wondering, the woman approached.
The tramp's eyes were fixed on her
face in amazement. He opened his
lips, but no sound came from them.
Then he turned to Randall.

you can't get me job, she can't
He turned and slouched toward the
gate. Randall who had followed him,
started as the man, when out of the
woman's hearing, turned fiercely upon
him.
You thought | wouldn't recognize
my little girl now she's a married
woman?" he snarled savagely.
Thought 1 was going to ruin her life,
| guess. jim, you're man. And II
guess you won't see me again"
And, with hunched shoulders, he
stumbled away down the street.
