Will 1917 herald the passing Of
three other veterans who have en-
deared themselves to followers of the
game?
In 1915 Mathewson, Miner Brown,
Nap Rucker, Larry Lajoie and Rhody
Wallace hung up their uniforms, new
err again to don them in the big
leagues.
And as 1917 opens the shadow OF
time rests gloomily on Honus Wag-
ner, Eddie Plank and Sam Crawford,
three giants of the game of giants.
No year in baseball history saw the
retirement of so many idols as did
1916.
1t was a fit and dramatic finale to
two dramatic careers that Christy
Mathewson and his most formidable
rival, Miner Brown, the three finger
ed wizard of the old Cubs should have
closed their major league baseball
playing days in pitching duel.
Lajoie closed his big league days

And | thought OF another couple
about the age OF these middle aged
JOY trippers who started out in matr1'
mOny with a nice, comfortable little
fortune. 1t was one OF those de-
moralzing wads OF money that are
just enough to make a man feel that
he doesn't have to work unless he
wants to, and that are not big enough
to be waste proof. Honest to good
ness, the best luck young fellow can
have is either to have a billion dollars
or not penny.
We'll, at any rate, this young
couple let their money make them lazy
and extravagant, the man trusted his
business affairs to his subOrdinates
and let his employees rob and waste,
and his wife got bitten with the So
ciety bug and became reckless
spender trying to keep up with people
ten times as rich as she was. And the
result was that by the time they were
middle aged the sheriff sold them out,
and now they are the most tOrlorn and
miserable old people you ever saw.
For there Is nothing else On earth

old age without the comforts It needs.

couples that / know, the ones who
had wasted and spent, and idled and
frivoled in their youth, and con.
trasted them with these other middle
aged couples who had worked and
saved in their youth and who are now
so happy and prosperous, and ]
thought, what lesson In thrift!
And l thought that practically life
offers us a choice Of whether we will
indulge ourselves in our youth or in
our old age; whether we'd rather have
an easy job when we are in our TWEEN
