BASE: BALL A LEVELER
"come o. You Big Stiff" Yells
Colored Private, Coaching,
to His Captain.

In a town some distance back from
the lighting line in France a ball game
was arranged one Sunday. With about
500 men to select from. the promoters
managed to get two pretty good teams
tokether. oficers and privates were
among the players One OF the best
players was a captain. who ordinarily
is the soul of dignity and reserve.
on the same team with him was a
coal black negro who used to manage
n team of his own in Mobile Ala In
view of the fact that considerable was
at stake and that the play was likely
to require excellent team work, it
was agreed that all formalities should
be put aside for the period Of the
rame-in other words. that people
should be called by their first names.
There were some familiarities, but
none startling, till the eighth inning,
when the captain. on first base, start
ed for third on a short hit The darkey
vas coaching at third and his heart
was in the game. The run the captain
might get was vital. So as tho cap
tain, sprinting as swiftly as he could,
was pIunging toward third. the darkey
was shouting at the top OF his voice:
Come on there, you kid! Come on,
come on
Just at that moment the captain
tripped and rolled in a cloud of dust.
There was still time to make it IL he
rose quickly. The negro. gathering
the full power of his lungs. yelled:
Come on. you: come on you big
stifY, you mud hen: what are we pay
ing you for"
out of the dust cloud rolled the cap
tain safe at third. He put up his hand
to call the game for a moment. Then,
brushing dust from his clothes and
painting for sufficient breath for the
Brobdingnagian utterance he was
about to make, he said to the negro:
.Jim. listen to me, and listen good.
From this moment on it's captain Do
.you understand English? Captain
Just plain captain"

How unfortunate that feeling Of
resentment against q few, who sought

of fighting age are as ready to do

Mistake in Releasing Higgins.

In St Louis. where the Browns have
been drawing well. the patronage of
the Cardinals, notwithstanding the
small army of stockholders. is almost
nil. This is not due to the fact that
the Cardinals are tail-enders in their
own race, but to the unpopularity of
the management The fans have never
forgiven the clubs policy which per-
mitted Miller Huggins to become sa
American League asset. although he
wanted above all things to remain in
