Spring
By Albert T. Reid

Today is a glorious day, indeed,
The Sky must be blue and clear.
I am sure that the sun is glorious,
My eyes are da5zled. in here.
Is that a birds soft lifting note.
Or is it the spring winds song?
l must be hunting violets
By the rivers brim along.
Open the window wide. my friend,
And let in the balmy air,
And will you walk awhile with me.
With the Spring wind in our hair
What do you say? The sky is dull
Storm clouds are hanging low.
The wind is chill and the ice is thick
On the banks where violets grow?
Well, what care I for storm or cold,
Or the length of winters sway.
For Love came into my life last night
And there's Spring in my heart
today!

BUENos AIRES. March 7--(By the Associated Press3-Luis Firpo tonight knocked out Erminio- Spalla, the Ital- ian heavyweight champion, in the four teenth round of scheduled 15-round bouts ..
 The European champions hopes to meet Jack Dempsey were dashed when Firpo, put over one of his famous rights to the jaw and laid him flat upon the canvas of the ring.
 2 Spalla put up a remarkably game fight against the Argentine. During the latter rounds, when F'irpo was rush. ing.7h successfully blocked many hard rights, any one of which would have sent him. down for the fatal count.
 In. the infighting Spalia punished Firpb severely. The Argentine often was wild, so intent was he in giving his adversary the knockout blow. x During the early part of the fight Firpo used his left, but with little suc- cess. <. After, the fifth round, when Spalla took the offensive and fought his best, of the contest, Firpo used his right almosa exclusively.
 The knockout bio swwas delivered in Spalla's own corner one minute and forty-five seconds after the gong had

BAT BOY GETS

 NEW ORLEANS, March TIA. J. Heinneman, president of the Pelicans. 1923 Southern champions, who has had fair success in making baseball players out of his soda pop and bat boys, is giving another one of them a chance. This time it is Ellis "Red"t Johnson, last season the official ball keeper, the lanky lad who tossed 'em out to the umpires when they called for a. new one. Johnson is being tried at first base and is going good in training, but the thing that has made. a., hit with Larry Gilbert, manager of the club, is the way Red" steps into the bali and whales 1t to the far oerners of the lot.
 Gilbert, himself, is graduate of the force of boys employed at the park. Twenty years ago Heinneman had him marking the score board. Last year he won his boss the pennant

ORLANDO, Fla, March Plat Moran, who won pennants and cham pionships by his brain and whose deep laugh, drawn from the vastness of his middle, resounded like the herald trumpets of a circus parade, Is dead. During the day his cheeks were all , most as white as the pillow and his voice was just dry gurgle. Johnny Evers, who played with Pat on the cid Champion Cubs, and Jack Hen dricks, baseball man when George Sisler wore rompers, went to their die, but Johnny. the crab, the umpire fighter with the pugnacious, twisted smile, and Hendricks, the rough handed old bucckaroo of the ball field, asked a reprieve for Pat---a few hours, perhaps, till his wife could get here from Cincinnati with their two little sons. ... ...,.,
 If he lasted that long they would ask more for him, but for the present all they asked was a few hours; such little time; the length of a game of ball. Two O'Clock

 Pat was suffering from Bright's dis ease. Two hours later, his struggle had gone into extra innings and he was still waiting for the good ones. He lived an hour more, a short while after his wife and kiddies arrived.
 Of course, everything is at sizes and sevens with Pats ball club. This was. the club that was to beat the Giants for the pennant this year, after beat ing out the Pirates for second place two years in row. Three new pitchers were bought to put the Reds ahead of MT. Johnny McGraw's team. It was to be Pat Moran's year. And on the training ground he was put to bed,
 Too Much Work
 Pat, partly to blame, of course, wasn't shifting the blame or whim- pering. either. He had personal wor- ries the last year or so, and after the close of the 1923 season he didn't take very good care of himself.
 Fourteen Reds went out to the ball yard twice during the day, but they hadn't much heart for the work.
 Pat was 4s years old. Fitchburg, Mass, claimed him as one of her greatest sons when he landed in his first world series so long ago with the Cubs. Fitchburg forgot him, as home towns will, until, as manager of the utterly hopeless Philadelphia Ma tionals he won a pennant in 1915.
 In 1919 the Phils fired the only man. ager who had ever won a pennant for them. John McGraw hired Moran to coach his pitchers, and released him to take Christy Mathewson's job as skip per of the Reds when Mathewson was tardy returning from France. Pat won Cincinnati's first pennant in 40 years and took the fake world series from the White Sox, but it must never be thought that Moran or any of his men ! knew they couldn't lose.
