SPORT EPISTELS
BY j. G.. B.

Amusement and diversion during these
strenuous days. The theaters are
crowded and damned. Dance halls
are oYerfiowing, Restaurants and
cafes are carrying on an unprecedent-
ed business. II there ever was a time
for baseball, undoubtedly it Is now.
Perhaps some directors look at the
situation from different viewpoint
They may think that failure is the
destiny of the league and that 1t Is
better to die on the bank of the stream
with hunger than to venture into mid
stream where the adde's and whiri-
pools may grab and swallow them up.
They are afraid to take the chance of
diving for the goal that is on the
other side. They don't want slurs OF
ignominy cast upon them. From their
viewpoint one would never lose for
tune in poker, because one will not
dive into the game.
All of which is very logical But
what Of the future of International
league baseball?
Nap Lajoie is ready. He says: AL
ready l have been engaged to play
first base for the Red Sox, Cubs and

The bush Lacquer is one believer
in the omnipotency of baseball this
year. The boy was down on Broad
street Saturday night cycling all the
latest styles from Broadway and Bay
ard street. After trotting up and
down the highway from West Broad
to Tenth street, he finally jumped in
store about one minute to eleven
and picked him robe to take to the
training camp. The husher picked
one of those pinchback 1921 models

colored; and Irish green cravat with
red stripes: two dozen of the latest
styles OF Arrow collars. and a pair o.

boy has been working at the Cedar
works all the winter.
Reveries.
Here's to the sweet old days,
Not in the so long ago's,
When fellows looked for girls,
And some danes had twenty beaus.
Here's to the grand old days,
Not In the far off land,
When fans looked for the game,
Not baseball for the fan.
