RIPpIiNG RHYMES.
by Walt Mason.
At LAST

So long We sighed for peace on
earth. the kind that Christmas
brings, but could not get niekel's
worth, because of hatty kings; for
four long years they tried, the goats,
to force their kultur down our
throats they sprang their mines
and murder boss, aud other deadly
things Good will to men" was
out Of date, all over sea and land;
and in its place we had the hate that
bore a German brand; the world
was full Of battle smoke, of blood
and wounds and maddened folk,
and men forgot TO laugh and Joke,
and kindliness was canned Now
con es the time of peace on earth,
the clouds are blown away; SO let
us, with exceeding mirth, observe
the Christmas day; for He whose
birth we celebrate has brought us
triumph over hate and hnmbled
kings who once were great, and torn
them from their prey Though sor-
row grimlv plants its stakes, and
fingers for a night, JOY cometh when
the morning breaks, as seers and
prophets write, this Is the morn of
happy times, the end OF tyrants and
their crimes, so let us make Christ
mas chimes ring out worlds de-
light

ANGRY FANS DO NOT
SCARE CONNIE MACK
Athletic Manager Is Only Leader
Who Dare Defy Bugs.
Squeamishness Not Found in Human
FiIament From Philadelphia When
1t Comes to Disposing of Most
Popular Player.

One of the distinctions wrenched
liable Connie Mack is that of being
the only leader in baseball history with
nerve enough to defy hon& fans by
selling popular players.
Only recently was presented the
spectacle of Branch Hickey worrying
himself sick over the problem of what
to do with a fabulous offer for Horns
by, player who may prove to be over
rated or who may be caught In the
draft age ere the 1913 campaign Is
over.
Common sense told Hickey that the
absurd money proffer ought to be
snatched up without debating the mat
ter for more than wink's time, yet
fear that the fans would accuse him Of
wrecking the clubs pennant chances
forced him to put all thoughts of sell
ing Rogers into the background
against his better Judgment, it may be.
No such sQueamishness was to be
found in the human filament from
Philadelphia Connie swung his mace
on a worlds championship machine
and wrecked it before the very eyes OF
the aStounded mob. He has continued
to dismantle it ever since, has de-
nuded it of almost the last vestige of
it's former greatness. He survives, he
has a bank roll and owns an inexpen-
sive team and will be financially forti-
fed better than most of its rivals, il
the worst comes because of the war.
However, Connie had his clientels
on the trip when he smashed and bat
tered down this great baseball club.
He knew before he began the destruc-
ton that there was no comeback at
him because of q third and even less
enviable distinction that had attached
to his Athletics-that of having been
the only worlds championship team in
modern history to go through the sea-
son a money loser!
Back into the teeth of the Philadel
phia fans Connie hurled it, when re-
preached for breaking up his team.
''What do you carer" he snarled II
gave you a worlds championship club
and you wouldn't patroniZe it. Good
night" No st. Louis clubowner, about
to sell star, would have the moral
support of a similar lack Of popular
interest to fall back upon. st. Louis
fans have always given st. Louis clubs
splendid support at the slightest en-
couragement. That's why Hickey de-
cides to keep Hornsby instead of the
$4,000 more or less-that Weeghman
threw on the table.

MATTY AND COBB DISAGREE
Two Masters at Variance on Benefits
Derived by Ball Players in An
Gent Game of Golf.

Christy Mathewson, noted pitcher
and manager, today comes with a big
boost for golf, insisting that golf is
beneficial to any ball player, if not
oyerdone. In passing, it is interesting
to note that Ty Cobb, noted batsman
is a great lover of the ancient game,
but gave it up last year as he claimed
it ''dimmed" his batting eye.
Thus we have the two masters dis
agreeing Both are artists, one in de-
ceiving the batter, and the other in
running" the pitcher. Ty says the
follow through" in golf is different
from the follow through" stroke in
baseball and that the perfection Of
one will be the detriment of the
other.
Matty already has advised a num-
Der of his youngsters to take up the
game. Cobb, on the contrary, has
tried to discourage it among the dia-
mond tossers. So there you are.

an Italian. Right name, Pizzola.
The Robins go South In the spring,

Carlisle Indians will play baseball
this spring for the first time in a

This is the season when every ball
team is pennant winner and the man
ager can explain just why.
Some folks say the Cubs will win
the rag. To be Frank, it's long

Pat Moran has a Chinese infielder

Baseball will be played on the extern

PRAISE FOR BOB GROOM

Umpire Billy Evans. who has
worked behind Bob Groom a
great number of games since he
broke into the American league,
is of the belief that the former
Brownie will be of much use to
the Cleveland Indians this sum-
mer. 1t is the opinion of Evans
that Groom showed about as
much stuff last year as he ever
did. Groom has fine speed, a
corking curve and a most decep-
tive splitter, which he uses only
occasionally. Evans believes
that FOhi will make much use
of Groom as relief pitcher
since his curve and splitter are
often of great advantage in stop
ping a batting rally.

them until the boys are gone. Send

HATS OFF FOR OLD GLORY"

"Hats off today when the flag goes
by" and hats should come off every
day when Old Glory floats in the
breeze. The flag fow has a greater
significance than ever before, and a
spirit of devotion is manifested
everywhere. In Chicago the Belgian
Soldiers and the "Blue Devils" of
France were greeted with deafening
cheers as they swung down the street
with a determined military precision;
but the "Hats Came Off" and men
stood at attention when the stars and
stripes went by. So it is everywhere.
Men, women and children stand in
respectful silence when the flag is
shown on the screen in the theatres.
Children in the schools are taught
to salute it, and let US all right here
in Paw Paw remember today as the
flag goes by, to stand with barred
heads. And let US resolve again that
from now on we will show the proper
respect and that we will cultivate
a spirit of devotion always for Old
Glory. "Hats off when the Flag goes
by"
