DICK COMPLIMENTS MARGIE

Dick got up this morning look
ing, and he said, feeling better
than he has done for a long time.
AT what hour, my lady. did
you get in last night?" he said In
mock rage. Don't you know 1t Is
very wrong for a virtuous married
woman to stay out till all hours
of the night with her husbands
best friend, while that poor hus-
band Is Ill In bed, to make 1t
worse"
you we're sleeping the sleep of
the perfectly content as we'll as
the just, Dick" | said. when |
returned, l sat up hours and wrote
in my little book"
What kind of a confession,
Madame, did you have to make
that it took you so long?"
ut was no confession at all.
Dick dear, 1t was just a little
hymn of thanksgiving"
Dick came over to me swiftly
and with his arms about me, he
asked, looking eagerly into my
face. '
"Have you really anything to be
thankful for, Margie? Do you
know / thought last night as YOU
went out the door so beautiful and
happy, that | was a brute to tie
you down to poor old men. Why,
Margie, l am afraiad | will be an
invalid all my life and then what
will you with your love of gayety
do?"
Perhaps, Dick, I'll do just what
did last night, go out with your
best friend" and then as | saw a
shadow cross his face, | added
quickly-"but 4 won't do 1t often,
dear"
What are We talking about
such silly thing for, Dick, Of
course you are going to get well.
You know you are better this
morning and from now on you
are going to be better every day."

By PAUL PURMAN.

In sizing up the relative strength
of two ball clubs there are two man
fundamentals to be considered, the
offensive and defensive strength. with
incidentally, their relative bearing on
each other.
These may be divided roughly into
subdivisions; the defensive into the
pitching and fielding, the latter into
the strength of the catching infleld
and outfield departments.
The offensive strength of a club
may be divided into two component
parts, the batting including the style
of attack, and the base running.

alive batting strength of the two
clubs.

Neale Of the Reds is now hitting the

Umpires probably would like to have
close decision included in peace terms.

Bernie Boland. Detroit pitcher, has

Johnny Evcrs Is about through. The
Phils may get some good work from
him, but it is doubtful.
A team composed Of men like Heinie
Zimmerman and Johnny Evers would
fill any park in the country.
A scarcity of base hits and winning
