eral players in Fred Mitchell's squad

the most part upon veteran players.

through the championship mill in
previous seasons.

Bush will do the pitching. as is likely
in the second battle of the series.
since Vaughn and Mays appear to
have the call for the opener. Each

veterans. Tyler will have Bill Kille-
fer behind the bat, Fred Merkle and
Charley Deal will fill two of the In
field positions. and in the outfield
lie Mann. Every one of these play
ers has been with a National League
championship club of recent years
and all have figured in world series
games. Killefer did not figure to
any great extent in the 1916 series,

. Never Replaces Turf.

He ruins the course and he never
puts back the turf He's left deep
footprints in the sand of the bunkers
of time, which have caused others
much trouble; he's lied about his
score; he's always been a ball hunter.
playing for high stakes against a
weak player he knows he can trim
and avoiding the man who can give
him battle; he yhines about his de-
feats and brags too much about his
success.
He carries a rule book for the other
fellow and never regards it for him
self: he's been seen to toe his ball out
of bad lie and to step on the ball
belonging to the other man: he wants
to hog the course and refuses to let
better players pass through. He's a
bum sport, and even at the nineteenth
hole he carries loaded dice with
which to stick the other fellow for
the drinks. All decent members of
the golf club of life have ostracised
him, and, thank heavens. the board of
directors is to meet soon and kick
him out of the club and of the course
forever"

Three 1914 Braves.

Tyler was one of the three stars
who pitched the Boston Braves to a
pennant and a world championship
in 1914. He pitched one of the four
games which the Braves won from
the Mackmen in the series of that
year. On the same club were Mann
and Deal. who again are eliminates
after travelling through the Federal
League. Mann was lead-on batsman
for the Braves that year whenever a
southpaw operated for the opposing
club, and the second game of the
1914 series found him in the contest
because Eddie Plank pitched for the
Mackmen. He also got into the final
game of that series after Pennock
had replaced Bob Shawkey. So Manna
is no stranger to world series games.
He was used as a pinch runner for
Hank Gowdy in the third game and
carried home the winning run.
Deal was not counted upon as a
world series regular a week before
the games were played. But Red
Smith broke an ankle in a game
against Brooklyn three days before
the first game and Deal had to cover
third base throughout the series. He
did not hit especially hard. but felded
perfectly. making several sensational

Domestle Wood for Walking stlcI<s.
 The United Kingdom has long taken the lead in the manufacture of walk ing sticks, and a large proportion of the output was made of raw material grown in the British isles. such as ash, chestnut, oak and similar woods. The importation of finished sticks has always been small, but before the war considerable amount of raw or partly finished material was imported, such as malacca canes. ebony, wang hees. roof bamboo. nllgherrl, etc. Cherry sticks and what is known as Congo" wood were formerly imported from Germany and Austria, where they are grown. For a time after the outbreak of the war the stocks on hand, both here and in neutral coun- tries, met the demand, but gradually the trade has become more depend ent upon homegrown goods, and con. sequently greatly increased demand for domestic raw material has arisen.
