die Roush, nifty outffelder with the
worlds champion Reds, and Rogers
Hornsby, peppery third.sacKer of <.e
Cardinals, have begun their 1879 fuss
weeks earlier than usual. Rogers was
too uncomfortably close to Ro-sh's
batting mark when the curtain was
rung down last fall.
This spring Eddie determined he
wouldn't miss any early practice and
was on hand for spring training. Some
thing unusual for Roush
And in the meantime Rogers was
waiting for the Cardinals to arrive at
Brownsville so he could get in action
and begin hitting the first day.
Hornsby is late starter. Roush was
late starting last year, too, but that
was his own fault. He prefers his
/, farm at Oakland City, Ind. to life in
training camp.
Maybe It was that wonderful Miami
that lured Roush out so early. Any
how, he bundled up Mrs. Roush and
the kiddies and arrived early at Miami
And he's certainly been working since
reporting day. He's in fine shape after
a winter of rugged work on the farm.
He doesn't intend changing his bat
ting style in any way. Last years was
good enough for him, only re expect
ed to do better work. A flying start
may give him the batting mark he is
striving for-as big as Cobbs, or who.
ever leads the American League in
1920.
But first of all he wants to put a
respectable distance between his own
mark and that Of Rogers Hornsby.
Eddie is one of the Reds who is in
shape and ready to start the season.

position. Sandy Toothman has lined
up Lloyd Shriyer, who can make good
either as catcher or pitcher Abbott

player, will likely be on the stortstop
position when the season opens. Jess

on man in the batting order will be
back in the fold this year and he is
expected to have fine season. This

seems we iran paragraph in the story
of the final bowling game of the sea

he had date. Well, in the course of
human events, jerks tells us, his best
girl got glimpse at the bowling story
and then gave jenkins the we'll known
refrigerator reception the next time
he called, because he had told the
young lady that he was going out to
bowl for the evening, and then the
paper came out with the fact that he
rushed through the match to keep a
date. We certainly regret the sad in.
cidept, coming as it does when all ma
ture seems to be whispering stories OF
love and romance-but such is life.
Not only do we regret the incident,
but we offer our apology. We are tru-
ly sorry. Had we known or even sus-
pected jerks had a special attraction

on the date business. But how were
we to know? Every time we pass Roy

MANAGED DRAGON BY WIRE.
Opera House Manager Had Unique Idea for the Direction of impor.
 tant Stage "Prcperty."

Our Chinese friends would be inter- ested to learn of the way foreign dew ils" control dragons.
 In one of the operas produced at the Metropolitan Opera house in New York the inside of the dragon, which Is made of canvas and papier-mache, con- sists of two small boys, who are sup posed to guide the beasts movements in accordance with the music. They are rarely equal to doing that correct ly, even after rehearsal. A recent per formance is stated to have been given without a single stage rehearsal, since no time could be found for the prepa- ration of the opera. It was, therefore, more than ever necessary to have the occupants of the dragons inside kept up to their business. The stage mana ger decided to install telephone fin the beast. It connected with the opera house switchboard. On one end was the stage manager, and at the other were two receivers strapped to the heads of the two boys, who received from moment to moment directions as to what they should do. The dragon under the circumstances covered him. self with glory.
