JIM SCOTT TO WORK HARD FOR
REGULAR BERTH WITH SOX

BY Mark Shields
Old Hughie Fullerton says the
Athletics this year will win 20 more
games than they did last. Which is
an awful slam at the remainder of
Ban JOhnson's outfit.
White Sox athletes rolled into Min
eraI Wells today and were greeted
with snow-cOvered ground, Jack
Fourier, Joe Jackson, Dave Dan
forth and jim Scott. Weather cOndi-
lions at the camp are not perfect, but
the men will be able to get into ac-
ton tomorrow for imbering eXeE-
cises.
Manager Rowland was planning a
slow process of conditioning when he
left here, and the condition of the
ground, may not bother him. The ex-
hibition schedule is the smallest the
South Siders have taken on iIf sew
eral years and the effort will be to
bring the men to April II in prime
shape for the long grind.
In the past SoX clubs have started
the campaign in the stride most clubs
reach about the middle Of July. AS
a result they have gone stale when
the middle reaches of the season ar
rived, and July and August slumps
have given them setbacks that were
fatal
From thirty to forty games before
the opening of the season have been
the usual portion of the Rowlandites
and this has used up the energy they
need for the great drive against COM
peting big league clubs under a sum-
mer sun.
The first and second teams COM
bined will not play as many pTe-sea-
son games this spring as have usual
~ been staged by the first squad
alone. This program is the result of
long experience and has been adopt

the past has shown, but it should
bring results in the flag end of the
year.
Jim Scott was a vision of delight.
The Wyoming curver has been work
ing out for some time with Pacific
Coast league clubs,1Rnd is well adj
vanced on his course of sprouts. He
is as tanned as a Palm Beach belle
and his arm has had considerable
work.
Scott is about ready to take his job
of pitching baseball seriously. Last
year was a lesson to him. The sUs-
pension he was handed hurt his pride
and also lowered his prestige around
the circuit. Jim is out to win back
all Of this.
Scott is a comparatively young
man, as baIlplayers go, and should
have several seasons of able hurting
remaining in his system. All that is
necessary is close application and
measurabIy strict training through
the entire season. If he is in shape
he Will be a tremendous assistance
to Rowland. Scott has a curve ball
second to none in the league. When
Roger Bresnahan was manager of
the Cubs Roger declared Jim had the
best curve ball in baseball.
Harry Wolfe, the recruit shortstop
working out with the Cubs at Pasa-
dena, is getting much notice from
the war scribes. Not a day goes by
that his name is not prominently fea-
tured in the exhibition game dOings.
His fielding or hitting bring him
many words of praise.
Usually it is not we'll to pay too
much attention to fUlsOme praise of
a recruit on a training trip. The reg
uIars round to playing form slowly,
favoring their arms and legs, and

UPPER BERTH HAS ITS JOYS
Some compensations Offered to the
Sleeper Who Has to Roost
Close to the Roof.

Aside from its proper function, an
upper berth may be put to a number
of excellent uses. If you wish to sur
pass as q knockabout comedian, sew
eral nights spent in an upper berth
will fit you admirably for the work.
Returning home from several days OF
travel, you will be able to astonish
your wife and admiring neighbors
with a select showing of contortlons.
If you don't feel able to qualify as the
boneless wonder, the bumps on your
head will get you circus job as the
human moose. There have been ex-
perienced upper berthers, or feminine
upper berthas, who could reach an up
per berth without criticism from the
sleeper below. Once attained, there
is q detachment and seclusfOn about
an upper berth that is said to make all
the difficulties of ascent worth While
One enjoys peering over the curtain
rail at the porter below. The little eX
hilaration of it all moves one to tar
playfully what appears to be the bald
head of a neighboring sleeper. One
looks about and considers that an up
| per berth isn't such bad place aftel
all. Good place to hunt for q settlns
of hens eggs. Wouldn't hen tina
wanted to set enjoy an upper berth
Maybe she could sleep there.

that there could be such thing, how
could the void you speak Of be a void

"Oh, WE'LL" rejoined the young man.
"at least I've got cash and property to
the amount of 100000, and I want
you to be my wife. SO there!"

GUESS AT POEMS MEANING
Speculation as to What Tennyson In.
tended by His Famous Work,
LADY of Shalott."

Tennyson's poem, Lady Of Shalott,"
Is purely imaginative in it's theme. its
names, it's motive and it's details. There
is no such island as ShalOtt, no river
flowing down to Camel6t, no such place
as Camelot, and, of course, there was
no such person as "the fairy Lady of
Shalott." The poem is allegorical,
and as the author never furnished a
key to it's meaning every person is
permitted to try to find one. 1t has
been suggested that lit represents the
history of woman living in conven-
tional world whose inhabitants do not
come into contact with the true sub
stance of things around them, but to
whom these things appear, not as they
are in themselves, but as reflections
in a mirror, which, while it registers
faithfully enough some few outside as
pects hides altogether the living soul
by which those aspects are produced
and governed" That is not very il
luminative. One critic says: "There
are thousands who are living in what
they dimly feel to be world Of refiec-
tions, not of substances, or appear
ances, nor of realities, but ever and
anon they feel that this is not all
there is Of life, and they, like the Lady
of Shalott, are half sick of shadows
Still, the illusions gather round then
again until something comes, most
probably in the shape of a supreme
passion, which sweeps the old worlds
illusions away forever and reveals the
new world of realities lying all arount
them." The cracked mirror represents
/! this new revelation.

Truth About Sharks.

Recent Investigations by a New
York scientist seem to show that the
ferocious reputation Of certain great
tropical sharks is founded to a large
extent on exaggeration. Most Of the
stories Of savage attacks by these
brutes become less and less sensational
the more closely they were investigat-
ed. 1t was even found that many OF
the species Of shark have weak jaws
and teeth, so that they find trouble in
tearing meat from dead whale. Ger
tain kinds Of sharks are, of course,
highly dangerous animals, but the bulk
Of the tribe would seem to be less for
midable than their reputation implies.
It was found that in some of the larger
species a blow from the tail was q
more effective attack than one deliv-
cred with the jaws.
