The Veteran Speaks Again.
BY oRANrLANo RICE.

My wing Is on the bum. ! know.
My legs are done--I'm getting slow;
The old peg doesn't quite get through,
lose 'em by a foot or two:
I'm not a Speaker or Il Cobb
And yet they keep me on the job.
Because whoevers on the hill.
They know that l can hit that pill.
The old whips full of kinks at last;
The speed l used to have is past;
The, dinlsy hunts l used to beat
No longer roll on Easy street:
guess I'm hardly worth the dough, :
And yet+they hate to sec me go,
Because the answers on the bill.
They know that can crown that pill.
In the last two years there has been
one pitcher in baseball able to win
! over 80 games. His name is Grover
Cleveland Alexander. There isn't any
question about his being the most val
| liable piece of pitching property in the
| pastime-snce 1914 at Least. II Alex
ander isn't worth from $4,000 to $15.-
900 u year, then the average ball game
isn't worth ten cents for a box seat.
| Alexander has been content to drift
along on a much smaller salary than
many stars have been receiving. He
has been worth over $4,000 Il year for
some time. Ii service of the type he
offers isn't worth the reward. the
game, from the players viewpoint, is
hardly worth while.
! If there had been any reward last
season for the most valuable ball
player in the National league, Big Alex
would have won In q lazy canter. The
American league had it's Cobb and its
Speaker. but 1t had no pitcher OF Alex
ander's worth, for even the redoubt.

Football and Other Games.

Lack Of experience is undoubtedly
one of the factors that weigh against
many. The average football star does
MT get to play 25 college games in his
entire career. How good would the
average baseball player be at the end
of IS games with no more experience
to carry him along? The only wonder
is that football development has gone
as far as it has under such restrict-
| ing handicap.

With Apologies to Brother Bennion.

The first hurried and enthusiastic
reports from Billings after the game
between the Billings independents and
the Ageies. claimed that the team
that was defeated by the Independents
that night was the state college team.
but the lineup shows that there was
not even a first team substitute in
the game against the Independents.
Pitts and Huntsbergcr at forwards,
Bush at center Crum, Bergman and
O'Brien at guards. composed the
quint that went down to defeat before
Billings team, which has the nerve to
claim the state title on the strength
of this victory. If Mr.. Bennion ever
sends his devastating crew of farmers,
composed Of Jorgensen Taylor, Rice,
Ross and Burgess, against Romney $
team, the Billings crew will be run
ragged in five minutes, in our humble
opinion. There are three high school
teams in the state that have already
beaten the state college freshie five
that faced the Billings team. Joe
Markham. after being out Of the game
for two years broke in at forward for
the independents against the state
college frcshies, and scored a couple
from the field. Joe in his day was
known as the fastest man on basket
ball floor in the state. in spite of his
200 pounds The state college first
team beat the Independents three
weeks ago, 81 to 10.

CUSTOMS OF THE COMMONS
Bills in Both British Houses of Par
Lament That Tend to Keep the
Memory Green.

There is no other building in the
United Kingdom where the daily GUS
toms observed are so full of interest
as in the house of commons, says a
writer In London Tit-Bits. Many peo-
pie who sit In the gallery fail to see
in the various forms links which bind
us to events of centuries ago. But If
the visitor is willing to find out the
significance of what he sees, he will
enter into world of inexhaustible ro-
nance.
IF, for instance, he is present on the
first day Of session, he will notice
that, before the clerk at the table
reads out the business printed on the
order paper, he calls out "outlawry
BILL" which is thereupon considered to
have been read first time, and the
house passes on to its appropriate
business.
It Is the symbol which marks the
victory of parliament long years ago
in it's claim to consider whatever bust
ness it likes without interference by
the crown. So, in the first day Of ev-
cry session, before parliament pro-
ceeds to consider the business for
which it has been called together, 1T
turns aside to give a first reading to
the outlawry bill.
The same curious rite. takes place
in the house of lords at the beginning
of each session, but in this case the
bill which is read q first time is called
"select vestries," and it is considered
after the kings speech
has been read. No one knows what
the outlawry bill or the select vestries
bill is, but they stand for the suprem-
acy of parliament.

GREAT MEN USUALLY SILENT
Acknowledged Leaders of the Race
Have Been Content to Let Their
Deeds Speak for Them.

Genius has always been accompanied
by briefness of speech, as may be seen
by the following list, remarks Lon
don Tit-Bits:
Napoleon rarely spoke when he could
avoid it, while Wellington was similar
ly silent. Lord Kitchener was posi-
lively sphinxlike in his reserve, Lord
Palmerston was proverbially silent,
while William Pitt throughout his me-
teoric career was given to long periods
of silence.
Sir Isaac Newton, world famous as
scientist, rarely spoke save to answer
question. Darwin wrote much, but
spoke little, while Lord Kelvin was
among the most mute of great men.
Authors are rarely great takers.
TolstOi, the most amiable of men, was
reserved in conversation and at times
absolutely mute. Balzac, the great
French .romanticist, when engaged in
thinking out a new work often passed
several days talking to no one but him
self.
] Beethoven was reticent, Mozart spar
ing in his speech, while it is said Of
Chopin that he loved silence better
even than music, and Wagner, save
when discussing musical matters, was
silent even to the point Of rudeness.
Among the most silent of the worlds
great men were the late Lord Tenny-
son and Thomas Carlyle.

WRITES OF JOYS OF PICNIC
Idea Of What Outdoor Entertain
ment Should Be.

| am partial to picnics-the spread
ing of the cloth in the woods or be-
side a stream-although am not avid
for sandwiches unless hunger press
me, writes Charles S. Brooks in the
Yale Review. Rather, let there be a
skillet in the company and let fire
be started. Nor need a picnic con-
sumo the day. In summer it requires
but the late afternoon, with such bOr-
rowing Of the night as is necessary
for the journey home. You leave the
street car, clanking~with your bundles
like an itinerant tfnman. You follow
stream which on these lower
stretches, it is sad to say, is already
infected with the vices of the city.
Like many a countryman who has
come to town, it has fallen to diSSi-
patton. 1t shows the marks of the
bottle. Farther up, it's. course is clean
err. You cross it in the mud. Was it
not Christian who fell into the bog be-
cause of the burden on his back? Then
you climb villainously long hill and
pop out upon an open platform above
the city.
The height commands a prospect to
the west. Below is the smoke of a
thousand suppers. Up from the city
there comes the hum of life, now some
what fallen with the traffic of the day
as though nature already practiced
the tune for sending later her crea-
lures off to sleep. You light a fire.
The baskets disgorge their secrets.
Ants and other leviathans think
eventually that circus has come or
that bears are in the town. The chops
and bacon achieve their appointed des-
tiny. You throw the last bone across
your shoulder. 1t slips and rattles to
the river. The sun sets. Night like an
ancient dame puts on her jewels.
