\ FfER Tommy Tittle-mouse made
~ the acquaintance of Worker
= u Ant he never lacked for some-
thing interesting to do. Many and
wonderful were the secrets and GUS
toms of the ant family: and though
of course the Worker Ant was busy
creature, still he liked Tommy and
would often take time to answer q
question or drop a bit Of information.
Not that Tommy deserted his old
friends, Dear me, no. Tommy Tit
tle-mouse was not that kind of crea-
ture-be sure or that! But you see
Che ants were so close home. And
many a day when Tommy could not
go to MIR. Spider or Mr.. Garden Toad
or Billy Robin did not happen by
Tommy's home, he crept to his back
door and had a visit wit1 the Worker
Ant; or mayhap just sat for time
and watched him work.
You may be sure that Tommy was
relieved when all the eggs were laid
and the tiny nests closed up-and
Friend Spider was still alive! Tom
my had really been worried about
Mr.. Spider OF course he told the
Worker Ant about his friendship for
Mr.. Spider and urged him to spare
him, please, But one can never be
sure! And the ants seemed to care
so little which spider they killed,
just so it was good one. No Won
der Tommy was thankful when that
danger to his friend was over!
One morning when Tommy looked
out of his back door, he was quite
surprised to sec the Worker Ant
crawling down the side of the log as
though he was going visiting. Tom
my just guessed the visiting-per-
haps, because the ant didn't seem to
be in his usual hurry.
Good morning, Worker Ant he
said pleasantly. Where are you 60

WOULD BE OF HELP
TO WEAKER CLUBS
Priority Plan Now Prevails
and Result Is Not Salts
factory Either to Clubs
or to the Players-Scheme
to Be Given Serious Con-
sideration.

New York Feb 6.-The plan adj
vanced by Charles II. Ebbets, president
of the Brooklyn National League club,
to change the method of drafting play
ers from the minor leagues, has coolies
and coolies Of good features.
Club owners Of both major leagues
agree that 1t not only would be help
full to the big leagues, but would give
real opportunities to deserving players
of minors to advance.
Ebbets' plan primarily is designed to
give the weak clubs of the two big
leagues first choice of all players
named In the draft. BY getting the
best men, the gradual strengthening Of
clubs would take place. The tail-en
ers this year would be gradually
growing stronger until they had been
placed on a par with others.
Also, the spectacle of a young out
fielder trying to take Ty Cobb's job
would not be very often repeated by
drafted men. The drafted man would
have a chance to compete for the job
for which he is fitted and he would
not be flung into competition with stars
of the game.
DETERMINED IN EFFORTS.
Ebbets evolved his plan when his
club was one of the most consistent
second division organizations in the
country. But the fact that he now
owns a club which last year won the
National league pennant has not de-
TERED him from his efforts to incor-
porate his views in the Matt Jnal league
role.
Players are now selected for ad =
vancement to the big show through the
draft route by priority of league. Then
the club is considered and finally the
player.

ed are placed in hat and drawn out.
one at a time. The first name out for
each club is announced as drafted and
awarded to the club with right of
priority. Thus, If "A pennant winner
should have in n draft for the best mi
nor league player in the country, and
should be lucky enough for the name
to come out first, that club would get
the player. lie probably would be
forced to compete for 4 position with
that major leagues best ballplayer
with the chances of his landing very
slim
STRENGTH TO TAIL ENDERS.
On the other hand, if that players
name was drawn first under the Eb-
bets scheme he would be awarded to
the club finishing last in one or the
other of the major leagues He doubt
less would have little competition in
his position and would lend strength
TO the tail-endcr. Each league would
be treated this way AS fast as the
