Answer:

the young man doesn't like you, glasses and all, he doesn't

it is very OTTER the right thing and the wise thing for a o
man to keep on after marriage with the gainful occupation
she has followed before marriage in order to a up, and buy

on his attitude toward her. >

Is Carl Mays Coming Back?

A hero one season, a dub the next.
That, in one short sentence, sums up
the career of Carl Mays of the New
York Yankees in the last two years.
During the 1921 season Mays led
the American League pitchers, was
the most feared and effective twirler
in the organization. He was, with
Waite Hoyt, the outstanding figure
in the series that year from an Amer
lean League standpoint.
Last season Mays was just an or
binary twirler. He got away to n
bad start, and lost the sublime, confi-
dence that featured his work the pre-
vious season. In addition, he appear
ed overweight, and as is usually the
case with losing pitcher. all the
breaks seemed TO go against him.
Mays, in 1922, was able TO win only
n trifle more than half the victories
he scored in 1921.
Shortly after the close of the sea-
son the Yankees asked for waivers
on the pitcher who the year before
had led the American League. Every
club in the Johnsonian organization
waived on him. Cincinnati alone Of
the National League clubs refused
10 waive. Mays appeared to be
through as a big Lacquer, ready to be
;icketed for the minors
What about the coming season?
Just before the Yankees departed
for the south. Waite Hoyt. one Of
the stars Of the twirling staff, in dis
cussing the clubs chances. remarked !:
Don't overlook Carl Mays when
figuring our chances. Throw ont his
showing last year. He is going big

PARKINSON'S HOMER
SWING BEING MADE
OVER BY FLETCHER
Philly Player Starred AL
though He Set Record
for Strikeouts.

Philadelphia, March 1s.-The home
run craze does not fit the swing
of all ball players. Major league
managers have ,sid that many batters
have ruined their value as batters for
the desire TO get a toc-hold and sock
it out of the lot.i
One Of the first moves TO be made
BY Art Fletcher as the new manager
of the Phillies is to change the stride
of Frank Parkinson, his second.

shoulders, Parkinson had an ides
that be could knock them as far as
Babe Ruth, Ken Williams ant
others.
There we're times when Parkinson
connected, but then again the strike
out record in the National League
for 1922 tells the story Of Parkin
sons home-run swing. He created
National League record for strike
outs by whiting 93 times.
Although Parkinson was in tn

Idea Is to Hustle Tribe
Into a Championship;
Speaker Biggest Hustler
in Bunch-Infield Seems
to Have Been Brought Up
on Red Fire.
By JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Lakeland, Fla, March 1.-THE
Cleveland Americans have q city TO
train in that is hustling for them all
the time. The townsfolk hustled the
players right out to the hotel, which Is
only a few minutes from the station,
and, before the players got into town.
the folks hustled a new ball park into
existence for them and when men got
to the ball park Speaker hustled them
until their mouths are parched in the
hot sun, and then he hustles them to
bed and hustles them out in the morn
ing. It's sure hustling outfit. The
idea is to hustle them into the cham
pionship.
On St. Patrick's Day, which was
observed by wearing Florida sham
rocks, the team hustled all the morn
ing in a scrub game, and in the after
noon some of the boys hustled over to
Tampa to see the Braves and Wash
ington play baseball. They looked at
it a few minutes and hustled right
back to Lakeland. You see, the
Braves and Washington didn't play
baseball. They played a new game
known as an endurance contest IN
which the first side that scores twenty
runs wins on general principles.
Cleveland's morning work neverthe-
less was a corker. In the game that
was played with Cincinnati, the In
dams won handsomely, but they dis
covered two or three things that could
be improved and they went right back
TO Lakeland and began to work on the
improvements.
Some Weli.picked Rockies. -.
The young Fellows were initiated
more deeply into Improvements. 1t is
a fine thing for young fellows to prac-
tice improvements. There are three
or four promising rockies in the Cleve-
land squad and the kind of improve
ment which they are practicing with
improving skill leads to the belief that
whoever went out and picked up ball
players for Cleveland in 1922 had a
gift for it. He picked them right.
Smith, who was pitching with
Brooklyn last year and before last
year. will enter the coming season not
only with the idea of getting even
with the National League, which they
all seek to do sometime or other II
they are released by that organization
but with the intent to pitch better
baseball than he ever did before.
