 Shaggy Pills.

Food for deep reflection may be found in the remarks of twenty-one- year-old Rogers Hornsby, the new Bel ehanty of the National league.
 The second-best batter of ex-Gov- ernor Tener's organization ought to be an authority on that particu- lar topic.
 Rogers doesn't believe in using ca moufiage on major league pitchers. Lis ten to him:
 Lead me away from those Class c and D pitchers. who have so much speed they don't know where it's go- ing.
 we played down around. my old home league last spring and I was afraid to go to the plate. The kind of birds that threw 'em at your head without trying to are dangerous.
 up here they shoot at you occa- sionally, but you generally know when it's coming. Besides. they have new balls in the big show all the time, and I surely do like to swing at the white ones after looking at the shaggy bush league pills"

Jimmy Page was the first man to whip John L. Sullivan, but the records are silent. They credit James J. Cor bett with that lone distinction.
 Jimmy Page was headmaster of the Dwight School, Springfield street, Bos- ton, Mass, and one of his twelve-year- old mischief-makers was one John L. Sullivan. One day. after the young mans teacher could no longer endure Sullivan's idleness and trickiness, he sent for Jimmy Page, long a hero in Bostons school circles.
 "Step up here, young man" said Jim my to John L. "Now you're going to learn better manners"
 And John L. stepped up and, with out whimper, took his rat-tanning in front of the whole class.
 But the records don't say a word about this first defeat of John L. Sul- liyan.
