quick and smart and intelligent as our relations care about being. They are % proud of their brains.
 "We aren't proud of our brains as we haven't great brains to be proud of and 1t Is foolish to be proud of what you haven't got.
 "Of course that shows we're sensi- ble We're not altogether stupid, no, indeed. If We were, we might be proud over nothing. And that we would never be.
 My children, l hope you will al- ways eat well, for good food makes good health and good health makes beauty.
 And that is what we care about. We are proud of our slender bodies and we are glad that we are so beau tiful.
 "Yes, we are considered beautiful so we have a right to be proud of our beauty.
 Mice and other small animals make good food for us. Hunt at night, and through the desert and across the plains you will find the food you want.
 Do not get up early in the morn ings. By that I mean do not sleep at night and then get up. Sleep in the daytime, and stay up all night right through to the early morning, and then go to bed.
 Some children have to go to bed early every evening. In fact most children do.
 But you are not children That is, you aren't boys and girls. You are desert fox children.
 You probably know that much though. I don't suppose you thought you were boys and girls If you did, sf course, you were very much mis- taken.
 But I haven't heard any of you say, Please Mamma Fox, may we

 "So I don't think that you imagine you are boys and girls.
 You are famous for your beauty, and you are famous for your grace. You can run quickly, and it is always a help to be able to run quickly.
 "Of course you must know when to run. Do not run when you are about to have your dinner unless danger is near.
 Run when there is any danger about. but do not run away from good things to eat. That would be foolish.
 "Yes, my Desert Fox children, you will grow up to be beautiful and l will be very proud. l will not bother to teach you much because it doesn | matter whether you know much or not.
 Build your homes with several en- frances. Do not have but one door to your home. That would not be suitable for a desert fox. You must have front door and back door and a side door.
 And that shows we're not so fool ish even if we haven't great bralns' for if danger should appear at the front door we could get out the back way That is rather smart, but still, we need not bother about learning much else :"

LITTLE ROCK LADS
WILL WORK TODAY
Miller and Brottem to Perform
Against EIberfeId's Chat
tanooga Youngsters.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. April a.
Bing Miller and Tony Brottem. heroes
of the Southern League last season,
both being members of Kid Elber-
fields champion Little Rock club, are
to play here today for the Griffmen
against the Chattanooga Lookouts.
Miller got into the game yesterday
for a while as a substitute for Milan,
but today he will start probably in
right field. Brottem will be behind
the bat. This will be the catcher 3
first chance in a Washington uniform.
He has been suffering from a lame
foot, but that is better now.
Miller was the home-run hitter
leader of the Southern Association last
season, but this spring he has not
been playing regularly and little is
known of his batting ability. He
came to bat twice yesterday against
Bill Morris, failing to get a hit He
took care of his two fielding chances
well, but neither was difficult.
He came to bat in the sixth with
two on, driving a high bounder to
Fielder, whose peg to Bluehawk forced
Judge at second. He showed a pretty
turn of speed in rushing UP to second
ahead of the catcher's peg. On his
second time UP, in the eigth. he raised
foul fly for the first baseman. That
was his contribution for the day.

GR|FF WILL SCOUT
PLAYERS FOR CLUB
President to Beat the Bushes in
Search OF Talent During
the Year.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April B.
President Clark Griffith, just now
touring the South with a number Of
ball players headed by Manager
George Mcbride, is going to be q
scout this summer. He admits,it.
II have already decided to do lot
of scouting" says the Old Fox. just
before embarking for a crack at the
hazards and the bunkers at the Chat
tanooga Golf and Country Club.
Mcbride will be busy running the
team will have nothing to do ex-
cept travel around and look at play
ers who might do the club some
good" President Griffith says that
he saw a couple OF good looking play
ers in Birmingham. though naturally
he declined to name any names That
wouldn't be according to the baseball
scouts lexicon.
THE woods are filled with good
players" he says, "the main trouble
with most scouts is they don't watch
a player long enough. 1t is true that
certain actions usually denote the nat
ural player, but sometimes you have
to watch a player in from six to ten
games before you dnd his weakness.
The average scout wants a pitcher.
at a certain man. He looks good and
is bought at once. The next time out
he shows the weakness that will for
ever bar him from the major leagues.
but by that time the scout has gone
on his way and that pitcher comes up
for trial. OF course. he fails. The
scouts expenses and the purchase
money has been thrown itno the
sewer.

ment on my head, 1 can afford to
linger around a circuit this summer
until have made up my mind about
player. ! shall also be aided not
little bit by having authority to do
business on the jump. Yes, I'm
going to be a boy scout this summer,
take 1t from me-"
President Griffith is not a bad scout,
at that. He Is responsible for the
presence of Joe Judge, Stanley Har-
rIs, and Frank O'Rourke in the Wash
ington infleld. They seem well up to

Blue Ridge League last year. The
big leaguers climbed him for sin
gle. two doubles. and a triple in the
first round, netting them four runs.
They leaped at him again in the
fourth, collecting four singles, which
with an error. gave them three tai
lies.
Bill Morris from Bradentown. in
the Florida State League. twirled the
last four innings for Chattanooga.
He allowed but two hits, Rice and
Schacht each getting single. Two
| infielders were responsible for the
run scored Off his delivery. Morris
is a tall. gangling boy who looks
like a conner. He was GOODNESS per-
sonified and the big league batsmen
didn't frighten him In the least He
was loudly applauded when he famed
Judge in the eighth.
Deeby Foss again came to the front
with hit in the pinch. crashing a
double to left center in the opening
frame that scored Harris. That was
his one hit OF the day. though he
walked in one of his other three trips
to the plate.
He contributed a pretty fielding
play on Bluehawk opening the game
when he dashed over in front of
O'Rourke, snapped up the grounder
and got the fieet-footed Indian in
fielder with room to spare on Shay's
bunt, though in the ninth he did not
look so good, and will apparently re-
quire much training on starting in
for slow ones.
RICE STOLE THREE SACKS.
Sam Rice had a merry time on the
bases, the American League champion
base runner stealing three sacks with
laughing ease. He failed on his
fourth try. Graham, the veteran
catcher. mailing him with feet to
spare.
Joe Judge opened the game with a
double to left center, moving up on
Milan's infield out. Rice rolled to
Bluehawk, whose high peg to the
plate allowed Judge to score. Rice
stole and scored when Duffy Lewis
poled triple to right center. Harris
bumped single to left. scoring
Lewis and took second himself on Os-
borne's error. Foss banged a double
to left center, scoring Harris.
O'Rourke drew a pass, but the scoring
was done, as the next two failed to do
anything.
The second batting explosion was
seen in the fourth. Picinich beat
out an infield hit and Courtney beat
out a bunt to the pitcher. Picinich
overran third and was snuffed out
just like that. Judge rolled to Ste
phens, whose peg to Bluehawk was
dropped giving bofh rupDera safety

FANS ALL HOLLER
FOR JOHNSON

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April
3.-"Where Is Walter John
SOM" That is the question be-
ing hurled at the Griffs by the
fans In each city they are visit
ing, and Manager Mcbride is
beginning to think he pulled
bone play when he let the Kan
sas Cyclone go home from Jack
sonville. The fans in Birming-
ham thought johnson was 60
ing to pitch the game there on
Friday, and yesterday the same
thing was expected here. 1t
probably will be the same old
story in each town yet to be Wis
tied by the Griffs. Though Sam
Rice led the league in stealing
bases last year, Duffy Lewis Is
a former member of the worlds
greatest outfield, Joe Judge is a
runner-up to Sisler for first
base honors, and Zeb Milan Is
Tennesseean with a great rec.
ord under the main tent; never
theless, Walter Johnson re-
mains the biggest attraction
the Washington club possesses.
1t will take a pennant victory
before the country in general

Ball players are chronic kickers

they cannot sleep on rattiers. BY the

will be a large one. Each night on
the train adds one or two to the
