Walter Maranville, second class boat

dent Wilson, is at his home in Spring
field, Mass on a ~furlough, He has
asked for his discharge from the navy

Meanwhile he says he is fit to break
into baseball rIght now, If it were pos
slhle, in spite OF the fact that he has
seen some rough stuff as a nav man
on, no, not in battle, but in football,
,'Twice my nose has been busted"
said the Rabbit in telling of his eN-
p%eriences, but it's all right and Pm
line. NO n needs worry about us
fellows who have been in service being
able to play the game when we get
back. by the training Il the life
We get in the navy is all that any ball
player would want to get him into and
keep him in condition. Regular eats,
regular sleeps, regular ~work-that is
a fine combination, I'll tell you"
The broken nose each time was the
result OF Il football game in which the
Rabbit took part. Each time the ship
surgeon handled the nose, and he did
what the Rabbit calls a good job"
The little shortstop ought to know what
he is taking about, because he had his
nose broken all to pieces in 1916. That
was the occasion for the Kid putting
on a nose guard and playing a sensa-
tional pinch game at short for Stall
ings when the team was up against 1t.
M~aranNille likes TO play football and
all that, but the truth of it was he
slipped into moleskins for the eleven
of the Pennsylvania wholly as a mat
ter OF sentiment, because he realized
that his bones were slightly more val
liable that the average gob's in a COM
mercial way. The Rabbit was willing
enough to take his chances with broken
bones or injuries, or death itself, on
real sea service, but he thought sew
eral times about his diamond career
before he gave in and played for the
Pennsylvania eleven. But once he got
on to the gridiron he forgot all about
Braves field, the Polo Grounds and
worlds series and played like the little
wonde athlete he is.
"Of course | do not consider myself
a free agent" said the Rabbit, by way
Of comment on the subject of Ty Cobb
declaring that he was a free agent and
could sell his diamond services to the
highest bidder.
Baseball could not do a thing if it
was not for the reserve clause, and |

BATTLES
In SOCCER
LEAGUE
G. B, G. Team Held to Tie BY
Phoenix-Winfreys Romp
on Wisharts.

In the first game in the NJ. A. A.
soccer league Sunday the young and
speedy Phoenix Shortening team lived
up to expectations when they held the
indicated G. B, G.. team to a Scoreless
tie, The second resulted in a 3 to /
victory for the Or, Winfreys over the
Philippi- Wisharts..
Memphis soccer fans were treated to
perfect weather and as fast and as
the opener. The second proved the
toughest and at the start the most list
less ever witnessed on local grounds.
Sundays win puts the dentists within
one point of the league leaders so that
any slip by the C~ollegians may mean
disaster to their pennant hopes. The
young Phoenix team proved itself every
whit the equal Of the undefeated col
Iege team. The team they held to a tie
was a stronger team than the dentists
held to n like tie last Sunday as four
Of the regulars were absent last week.
With n little more follOw-up to their
shots they will spoil any teams aspira-
tons.
The first game, though possibly not
the best seen this year, was filled with
thrills and exciting moments charaC-
t~eristic Of the old Celtic game. As was
predicted the Phoenix youngsters gave
the college lads one Of their hottest
games. Many times it seemed as the
Adams avenue boys were doomed to de-
feat, but the excellent work of the de-
Tense lines coupled with the stellar work
Of their plucky goal keeper sent the ball
flying to the other end Of the field.
Powell, Haley. McGinnis and Hodges
played a wonderful game for the
Phoenix team, Powell and McGinnis
putting in shots from all angles and dis
tances with the accuracy Of experts,
Their greatest assets was the team
