And to the dreamer lying in his
berth above the rolling wheels, that
music is just as sweet. IL suggests
to him the far places, enticing maids
of Anadalusia, queer little paper
houses Of Yeddo, the sentinel palms
of MORO Castle, the icy fjords OF

That's right. we're awake. We're
in Charleston, s. c., where the first
game Of the transforming series is
due to be played today. It's day

strange faraway places and back
again to Charleston, s. c.

who understand all that Is meant BY

vinced OF the value of a full working

when the barrier is sprung. the Yam.

League rivals. Their progress
toward the well-known pink of condi.

been purpOsely retarded by Mana
ger Huggins this spring, who fig.
ured there must be some way to
get . pitching staff through the
first few weeks OF training without
an epidemic of sore arms, and set
himself to find il. Accordingly, he
would not permit them to put any
real strains upon their arms until
they felt sure they could cut loose
without q real effort.
None Of the real veteran hurlers
was permitted to pitch in any OF the
earlier practice or exhibition games
with the result that they have done
\ less real pitching this spring thar
any other set of FINGERS in either
major league. But when they did
start, they were prepared to do then
stuff unhampered by any fear thai
they would throw their arms away.
During the past ten days the
regular pitchers have monopolizec

ALI HUSSANE.

ALLI f1USSANE.
THROUGH not keen wrestling pen this refrain
1 To the husky Turk wrestler named Ali Hussane.
- We knew a few of these fat Mosem brothers
Like Hall Adal and Youssuf and others.
Their size stupendous, each hulk;
Their speed tremendous for gents of their bulk.
Each came to shores with his special train,
And the latest Turk grappler is Ali Hussane.
His names Ali Hadli Hussane
And he's big a mountain in Maine.
II he seeks for a fuss
Or for trouble with
He will do all his seeking in vain!
His shoulders wide the back Of a dray,
His neck is the neck of a bullock, they say.
His arms steel grders, his legs like rock,
And he's built to withstand the hurricanes shock.
He has a kind face and a kitten like smile,
But let repeat in crisp, candid style:
His names Ali Hadli Hussane
And he's big a mountain in Maine.
IL he seeks for a fuss
Or for trouble with
He will do all his seeking in vain!
