Who will not say hat just a change
VIII oftimes help a guy
He starts anew where all Is strange
But what's the reason why?
A pitcher slips and slides down hill,
His hokum will not flow.
But trade him off and he will spill
Your dope and prove your foe.
A player slumpsEbecomes a joke,
He looks as II he's through
Gone is his pep-up in the smoke,
No wonder he won't do
Look round and count the discards

When they were thrown away,
They've got another papa now
And starring avery day.
A dissatisfied ball player is a poor
r%un-setter for his team.
Why is it that a shift in scenery
will oftentimes give a player a new
lease on life and he comes back?
Ball players are like any other
human beings They naturally have
their preferences as to what club
they'd rather play with, but in the
business of trade and barter, they
don't always get what they want.
Often a good player with POSSIBLE
tiles is discarded because there is no
particular niche on the team he'll At
into just then.
John McGraw has probably dis
carded more players who have later
came back to form and been thorns
for the Giants than any other man

position in keeping his ball club be-
fore the New York public. He must
have a winner all the time or there
are no gate receipts
A player who won't or cannot pro-
moment cannot be kept on the pay
roll
Jim Vaughn used to be soft pickins
as a Giant. but he's effective for the
Cubs now.
Carl Mays got a crouch in Boston
and battled his way into a Yankee

1t can be done. With a good
program. and the assurance that b
fighters will appear a boxing event
will go over strong in this town. The
event at the Auditorium Monday
night proved this beyond a doubt,
and II vas the wish and hope OF
everyone present that the club would
continue the good work and inaug-
urate a series of excellent affairs for
the coming winter. Ask anyone who
sat through the exciting bouts In
this city Monday night as to his
opinion and he would probably state,
Fine, let's CO."
The fact that Kid Potty drew a
crowd seems to indicate beyond a
shadow that a fighter from this city
is a paying proposition. Young Leo
and Toney are two additional fast
going sluggers that have an innumer-
able gathering at their heels. They're
there with the goods and they're
there with the crowd so why not
give them opportunities-to more than
make good?
Belgium at war is as prominent a
place as Belgium at peace. With the

moment when they shall go out on

for their countries all eyes are again
turned to the nation hat the Ger

O.
John J. McGraw thought 1t wasn't
enough for his team to dominate the
sporting pages of the land so he
went to work and got mixed up in
an affair that advertised the Giants
on the front pages as well.
Vardon claims that the golf title
is in the lap of fate. Then the base

double chin of anxiety.

RAIL LINE CROSSES OCEAN
Remarkable Trip That Is Taken BY
Travellers on Their Way to Key
West, Florida.

thousands OF Americans ut the va

ocean trip which can be made ON q
railroad train, writes "Niksah' III the
Chicago News. They so to Key West
By way OF the line which runs through
the Atlantic ocean on an embankment
built from one to another OF those tiny
islands known as the Florida keys.
IS YOU ride along this remarkable
railroad. you look out the window and
down into the clear shallow water and
see great schools OF fish playing near
the surface, and deeper down you can
glimpse now and then the shadowy
form Of a small shark. On either side
of you reaches away to the horizon a
vast expanse of brilliant blue water,
dotted with islands, which vary In size
from a fraction Of an acre, to perhaps
u quarter Of square mile. They are
low and fiat and covered with low
growing mangroves, and other swamp
plants Here and there group Of
coeonnts or royal palms lifts 3eath-
cry silhouette. Occasionally a little
shack is glImpsed, and few sails are
seen in the distance, but for the most
part the region Is a wilderness OF blue
water, white sand and low growing
junglea wilderness that you would
love TO explore in a small boat
OF life you see little. Now and then
white flocks OF fbises rise from the is
lands; tree duck spatters clumsiiy
AWAY from the train, or great blue
heron trails his legs in lonely dignity
across the sky. For the most part
silence and sunlight own the place.
