Two newly fedged schoolmarms were
busy conversing over the telephone one
evening shortly after they had been ap-
pointed to their first schools. In the
course Of the conversation Miss X.
asked Miss B. her plans for the even

Over the wire came the startling re-
ply from Miss B.. "Oh. am going to
mark my papers and then see an old
sweetheart of mine."
Whereupon Miss X. exclaimed with
much excitement. "Oh, you must not
do anything foolish now just after get

And she did not understand Miss BIS
amusement until she read the theater
notices later in the evening and learn
ed that Riley's "Old Sweetheart OF
Mine" was what she was going to see.

HOW THEY SAW THEM
ABOUT 70 YEARS AGO
Lajoie and Mathewson Among Those
Who Failed to Meet Ap-
proval of Critics.

Twenty years or so is no big slice Of
time figured in the rise and fall of ma
tions. But that is quite a span in the
tempestuous activities Of the grand old
game Of base ball. In point of proof here
with are submitted few pertinent OBJ
servations as chronicled by a scribe about
a score of years ago. Note this one first:
The Philadelphia writer's are of the
opinion that Manager Billy Nash Of the
Quakers has picked up jewel in Out
fielder Phil Geier, but they are not so
sure about Lajoie, the first baseman Sc
cured from the Fall River club in the
same deal. So capable leader as Frank
Selee OF Boston looked over Latoie before
Nash got him and turned him down be-
cause he didn't shape up to the standard
OF major league batsman. Just now
Lajoie is hitting pretty well. but wait
until the pitchers discover his weakness.
Easy to see now that the quests of
the earnest young men who sought the
hitting weakness of the big Frenchman
were about as futile as the fiounderings
of old Don Ponce de Leon through the
glades of Florida seeking the fountain
Of eternal youth. Might also add that
not few ambitious lads are still having
their troubles in this big hunt in the In
ternational League right now

Matty, the Untried Youngter.

Speaking Of the bitter being bitten, you
can appreciate the comedy as it seems
now in the following:
Is it any wonder that the Giants keep
down in the second division year after
year when Andrew Freedman, the owner
of the club, trades a star like Rusie for
an untried youngster like Mathewson?
You will know that these excerpts
have been dug up from a good way back
when you read this one:
Fred Clarke of Louisville looks like the
best find of the year. If the youngster
can keep up his good work the Colonels
may land in the first division.
The shifting of talent from one posi-
ton to another is nothing new. Even
then as now there are always those to
question the wisdom Of such a change.
Get this one:
John NJ. Ward was all right as pitcher
at the. .old-forty- ifye-foot distance. but it
