Sometimes in Sovembers heart
sudden vernal pulses start
On day when winds forget
Their admonitory fret,
And a single violet
On a southwark facing slope
Dsres to ope Its eyes in hope
Though the golden hope be valn)
That lis April once again
So with age. A day will come
When Youths sweet delirium
Stirs tho sluggish vein along,
While, vital, swift and strong
AS the throbbing OF a song.
Watt OF perfume, eyes that CLEAN.
Wake the transitory dream
Though the golden dream be vain)
That it's April once again!

We saved him from the foe,

PLAYERS, LEAGUE REBELLION.
Twenty eight years ago today the
magnates Of the National league held
4 special meeting in New York TO
consider ways and means to foil the
plans Of the Players league, when
had Just been organized and which
was threatening to destroy a nations
pastime. and, incidentally, to reduce
the dividends of the National league
stockholders. The magnates decided
to bring suit TO restrain their vas
sails from playing elsewhere than on
National league diamonds, but the
legal proceedings didn't give organ
lied baseball much nourishment. The
bitter and cruel war was fought to
a finish, but the fans were disguised
with the whole proceedings, and as
result the game suffered severely,
while numerous minor leagues went
on the rocks. The brotherhood had
the backing of several capitalists in
the Players league scheme, but they
lost so much money the first season
that they refused to go on with the
experiment The differences between
the players and the magnates were
patched up and peace reigned in the
baseball world until Ban Johnson
started another war.
