MITCHELL HAS
SUFFEREDS0ME
TERRIBLE LUCK
But He Is Still Hopeful That
His Team Will Do
Well.

A lot Of cans would have been VIII.
ling to take an even money bet during
mid-winter that Fred Mitchelrs Cubs
and Miller Higgins Yankees would
win the honors in 1920 baseball. The
Yanks now are long shots and the
Cubs have lost much. And this has
come about through injuries that
none could forsee.
Miller Higgins still talks optimis.
tically Of his chances. But he doesn't
smile much over them.
Buck Herzog will start the season
for the Cubs at second. He may play
throughout the season and he may
play brilliant game. But he is like.
ly at any stage of the game to be in
capacitated for further service. He
went to the hospital two weeks before
the opening date with a case of her
mia. The surgeons said It would re.
quire long rest after an operation.
That meant Buck was lost for the
season. He asked II he might play
on and postpone the operation. They
told him he might get by with it until
fall. AT any rate, that is what Bucks
doing. He's game He may not play
his best game but until Mitchell gets
a man who can play topnotch game
Buck will attempt to stick it out.
Then there is Charley Hollocher
with a growth on his hand. The hand
was operated upon and Chuck is back
in the game but 1t is bound to be ten
der and he may have further trouble
with 1t.
Last fall Lefty Tyler went to
dentist and had his teeth removed.
They told him that was the cause of
his poor pitching arm. For time this
spring the arm felt right and then he
began having trouble again. He is Il
doubtful quantity.
II good luck had been with him in
these three instances Mitchell would
be an almost even bet with the Reds.
But luck has been against him and IL
the Cubs can buck combination like
that and win the flag they'll deserve
lots OF praise.
And you've got to give Fred Mitchell
credit for that smile in the face of
adversely.

The tumult and the shouting dies
and Harry Stansburry scores another
victory. The athletic committee at
the state university has approved the
Wesleyan and Washington and Lee
games. The vote we understand was
AZ, according to The New Dominion.
The big fact, however, Is that the
games as arranged by Harry STAINS
bury stands. Some of the wise birds
down there will now revive the old
yell about Harry Stansbury being
athletic Dictator" and hot athletic
director" But West Virginia can
thank her lucky stars that she has
an athletic director who is not afraid
to be a dictator" Harry knows con-
ditions and what is best for the uni
versity in the long run, and this is
no doubt the reason he brings the
iron hand" policy into play at times
when a few birds seem to have de-
sire to start something they can't
finish. Harry went down to Morgan
town to take charge of the athletic
situation and as long as he is there
he should be absolute boss so long as
he is making success of things ana
stays within the bounds OF reason.
Stansbury doesn't owe the university
a thing, while he is worth more to the
University than 1t can ever afford to
pay him in dollars and cents. There
are great many colleges in the coun-
try who would give large snm to
get Stansbury to take the job as ath-
letic director or dictator" either

Two dozen-maybe more;
Some thirty men in white duck suits
Were ranged along the floor.
Each brandished forceps in his hand.
Each likewise held drill
With which all dental men are won't
+ To grind with fiendish skill;
While here and there amongst the
gang
A white-robed nurse did pass,
Prepared to hold a patients hand
Or give him Laughing gas.
Just then the door was opened wide,
And who should hobble In
But thirty-odd e1-baseball stars,
Each wore foolish grin.
Dave Altizer, Roge Bresnaham

All these and many more came in.
Some wobbly in the knees;
Each dentist picked q victim and
Each murmured: "open. please"
Against some thirty pairs OF fanss
Some thirty forceups clanked
Some thirty dentists gripped their
tools,
In unsion they yanked.
Then thirty heroes-more or less

And with newborn agility
Turned handsprings through the
