Berton Braley's Poem

When the world had its beginning,
Blue was placed up in the sky,
And the hue OF yellow settled in
the sun.
Then it seems It came TO pass
That the green fell IN the grass
All this happened whom the
world was first begun.
Brown was slated. II you please,
To be used upon the trees.
Pink was picked for sunlight
rays when twilight came.
Gold, Il seems a purpose had,
Just 10 drive the mere man mad
And then silver helped to make
gold play its game.
Black was used to kill. at night,
The monotony of white.
And then gray, the cross be-
tween. was picked for dawn.
Red was likely. not for fear.
But to spread a glow OF cheer
At the skyline Just before the
sua is gone.
When the world had its beginning
All thase colors found their
place,
And since all tine first began
they've stood up pat.
So. in winter, spring or fall.
Natures dressed the best of all,
And the worlds a wondrous
color scheme at that.

Fletcher is a pupil of the McGraw
school of baseball. He spent eleven
years with the Giants before being
transferred to Philadelphia. Nc
Graw likes the fighters.
The new manager of the Phillies
came to the Giants from the Dallas
club of the Texas League. Under
McGrAw's direction he developed
into a star.
Coming to the Phiflies in 1890 he
played one season, and then an
nounced his permanent retirement
from the game. After a year in
business the call of the diamond was
too great and he again donned a
Philadelphia uniform.
While Fletcher still has consider

that he will do much of the man

the utility role.

ule has been announced by Miss

tet and included twelve games of
which six will be played away and
six at home. Every team played in
this city will also be played on a
foreign court.

were decided by small MARGINS and
both sides had big followings on
hand.
The U. C. quintet bowled 721 in
the first game and won by eighteen
pins; the Goodwills COPIED the sec
ond game by a twenty-pin margin,
and the third and deciding contest
went to the U. C.'s by eleven pins.
The Goodwills' score in the second
game was TAT and the U. c. score
in the deciding game was 695.
William j. O'Hara of the innln
team averaged 166 for the three
games, the highest average of the
evening, and George Tooker OF me
Goodwills averaged 1853 for the
match.
The Goodwills used FL. Holz-

POLICE To HAVE
BOWLING TEAM
Marihus ~LudWigson in Charge
of Organization Work Will
Practice in Near Future

Having been successful on the
baseball diamond during the 1922
season an effort is being made to
organize a bowling team to repre-
ssnt the local police department to
take part in bowling activities
throughout the state.
Marinus Ludwigson, who has had
considerable experience on the
bowling alleys, is in charge of the
rolice organization in this branch of
sport. In the near future he will
issue a call for candidates who are
DESTROYS of making the team.
A recent announcement by Man
ager Ludwigson regarding the pos
sible roster of his team was to the
effect that Frank Seiboth, Emil
Koyen, William Bachman and
William Seiboth, also experienced
bowlers, are working with him in
this undertaking. The initial prac-
tice Of the team will be held on the
Argonne alleys in the near future.
It is probable that when organ
ization plans are completed bowl
ing managers of other police de-
partments in the state will be COM
municated with and matches ar
ranged. After the bluecoats have
hit their stride, games with leading
teams in this city and county will
be booked.
The activities of the police team
on the alleys will be watched with
interest.

dent regarding the future success f

expected to remain with the team

The Michelin team is expected to
