The Twenty-second of February

= AN VOAAIy -0SOOAA0 VI l OA/A UGLY
By William Cullen Bryant
Pale is the February sky
And brief the midday's sunny hours;
The wind swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and flowers.
Yet has no month a prouder day,
Not even when the summer broods
Der meadows in their fresh array
Or autumn tints the glowing woods.
For this chill season now again
Brings, in it's annual round, the morn
When, greatest of the sons of men,
Our glorious Washington was born.
Lo, where, beneath an icy shield,
Calmly the mighty Hudson flows!
By snow clad fell and frozen field
Broadening the lordly river goes.
The widest storm that sweeps thru space
And rends the oak with sudden force
Can raise no ripple on his face
Or slacken his majestic course.
Thus mid the wreck of thrones shall live
Unmarried, undimmed our heros fame,
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honors to his name.

MAJOR PITCHERS
ARE IMPROVING
SLAsMEN SHOW MORE AiR.TlGHT
, GAMES LAST YEAR THAN IN
PREVIOUS SEASONS.

Alright pitching was more preva-
lent in the American league than in
the National during the campaign OF
1917, as shown by the seasons rec
ords. Also the pitching was "air-tight-
er" than last year, or any previous
period since the slabman was moved
back to his present distance from the
plate.
Five in no hit games were pitched
in the major leagues this year, not in
GLIDING one that was handed Koob of
the Browns by post mortem scoring
and later ruled out by President John
son Of the American league. Neither
is genuine no hit game pitched by
Vaughn of the Cubs included in the
five. He held Cincinnati to nothing
in the swat column for nine innings.
but two hits were made OF him in the
tenth. That calls for an Official rul-
ing as to vaughn's right to no hit hon
ors.
Last year there were only four no
hit games in the majors, and in 1915
only three OF them, showing the
steadily increasing effectiveness Of the
slabman and the necessity Of handi-
Gaping him in the near future to pre-
vent the disappearance Of the base hit
from the face Of the diamond.
