1t is quite a victory for US
graybeards that we have some
kind of a champion. Some day
the writer intends to get out on
the field in some other capacity
as a marvellous pitcher and show
the modern babes in the woods
how to act.
Base-running is done more with
the head than with the feet. That
is the reason. why some people
can't steal anything from pine
apples to a bankroll and get away
with it. The whole idea in steal
ing anything is to do it while
the other fellow isn't looking.
And, if the other fellow isn't
either looking or thinking, then
all you have to do is to walk
around the bases slowly and score
a run.
I will tell you one thing, that
in the days when I was hurting
batters bowlegged for the White
Sox (and, if you want to get
nasty, recall to me that / also
pitched for Kansas City and
points North), why, friends, it
was murder II anybody tried to
steal base or anything else off
my dear old, left-handed rural
free delivery.
I truly believe that if anyone
stole home on me, why ! would
bust them in the kisser for such
nerve.

OF course, I don't think there's
team in the league that can get
US out of first place, but what
thought about the AS a month or
so ago is just about what 1 think
of them now, even though they
have fallen away a lot. I expect
them to finish fourth at the worst,
and maybe better. if Rollie Naylor
comes around and the pitching is

At the same time 1t was the be.
ginning of a slump which finally
carried the AS out of the first di.
vision. Yet in spite Of all this the
AS are still corking good team
for a lot of youngsters. They're one
of the hustlingest outfits I ever saw.
They simply lack that thing we call
balance" But they'll get that this
year and next season they may be
able to travel at full speed from
the beginning to the end.
Even 50, they still have a good
chance to finish second, and If they
do that they will have done some

There is many a slip between

50 far as the pennant is concerned.
They may not do as well as we
originally thought they would, but
they're still one of the most inter
esting teams l ever saw.
For a few years we had been
warned to watch the AS. Every
spring we were told that Connie
Mack was bringing up q very dark
horse from the south, but not until
this year did the AS look like one
after the season started.
Then they made lot of mo-
tons that threw thrill into the
Tanks. They beat us in a series in
New York and beat us again when
we went to Philly. They made us
forget about Cobb and the Tigers,
who were expected in the pre-sea-
son dope to give US our toughest
opposition. They not only beat the
Yanks. but they kicked up a lot
OF fuss with the other teams in the
league.

five or six and both clubs will
be ready for the museum. All

ball may not be art, you can't
deny 1t Is science.
That leaves Washington with
a half-spent summer on its hands
and no prospect of declaring a
baseball dividend. We've sunk
our investment in a bucket shop
which pays off in busted hoops.
If we tried to grow fat on the
size Of our avera ges we could be
sued for non-support, under-nour-

NEW YORK, March For

the summer. sun and in the cold Of
winter evenings she stood by her
stand and shuoted her --latest ex-

Then came a time when the long
hours of standing on the sometimes
wet sidewalk began to have their
effect on Mrs. Corcoran's feet, no
longer young. With her spirit still
cheerful, but her frame weakened
by age and exhaustion, Mrs. Cor
coran was compelled to abandon her
newsstand, at which she had be.

She died In October, 1929, her

She was not q mere tenant in the

who, with her husband, Patrolman

Mrs. Corcoran, and her son Michael

! The court proceeding was brought
by three children of a deceased
daughter Of the testatrix. One,
Mrs. Catherine Droge, testified that
her aunt. Mrs. Malone. had told
her that her grandmother intended
to leave her money to her and her
brother.
Another witness was Madeline

granddaughter OF Mrs. Corcoran.
The little girl said that she called

She told Mrs. Corcoran that she
was not sure. OF having q new dress
for her confirmation, for she was

To this. said Madeline, Mrs. Cor

ARRESTED FOR USING
CAPITOL FOR LODGINGS

When Lieut. Edward Kelly was
making his rounds in the Capitol
yesterday he was amazed to find
John Christie, colored, thirty years
old, of Perryman, Md, stripped and
sleeping on two chairs.
Questioned as to his strange
action he is said to have replied
that he thought he was in the
White House and that inasmuch as
President Harding was on his vaca-
ton he was going to take over the
reins of the United States Govern
ment. Kelly did not seem satisfied
with such an explanation and the
man was locked up in the Fifth
precinct. Later he was removed to
Washington asylum for mental OBJ
servation.
