PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

Uncle bud says: "'It is a pleas
ure to have people smile at you but
no one likes to be laughed at
knowledge may be power but ignor-
ance comes mighty handy semi-oc-
casionally."
When man admits that he is sat
isfied it indicates that his ambition
is gone.
Most people are too much inclin-
ed to shout their criticisms and whis-
per their praises.
A new broom may sweep clean
but if it keeps on sweeping it soon
joins the bald-headed class.
Lots of fellows are sure they are
right and go ahead Later they find
out that they were wrong.
Politics IS great deal like base
ball. Quite often they put fellow
on the bench to get rid of him.
Often times man spends many
weary hours surmountig difficulties
that he could walk around in as
many seconds.
Many people are of the opinion
that teachers are not paid enough.
But you could never make little
Willie believe it.
If most people would work as
hard to keep out of trouble as they
do to get out, this old world would
be much happier place.
There is an old saying, Don't
whistle until you are out of the
woods" But if this were generally
followed whistling would take its
place with the lost arts.
Newspapers are prone to refer to
this or that individual as a leading
citizen. And, if the facts were
known, most of these birds never
led anything in their whole lives.
Things don't always happen
right in this life. The fellow with
his eye on the stars quite often
falls over a stone and the fellow
with his optic on the ground picks
up ten dollar bill.
There is nothing in name. Up
in Minnesota Aaron Tippler has
just been elected chairman of a
county prohibition league. And in
Michigan county Henry Drey heads
an organization pledged to work for
the overthrow of the Volstead Act.
A correspondent recently wrote
in to ask the editor of an informa-
ton column what book a young
man about to be married should
read. And the editor returned the
neat answer, "He Fell in Love with
His Wife"
The motor bus was practically
filled when a man poked his head
in the door and asked: "All full in
here?" From one corner came
rather thick voice: mot sho very.

A small Iowa town has two
churches and for a long time there
had been considerable hard feel
ing between the two pastors.
Through the efforts of peacemakers
from both denominations the
quarreling dominies were finally
induced to meet and talk things over
in an amicable manner. They did
so and finally they agreed to bury

Five Years to Straighten

ST. LOUIS, Nay 19-Peculiar
shifts are made -inNbaseball. When
Branch hickey decided to sit on
the Cardinals bench as manager
in starting the 1919 season he
sought Vernon Clemens, then with
the Louisville Colonies. for his
catching staff. He obtained Glen.
ons by trading Dixie Daviz and
Bruno, Bethel.
Two members of the Cardinals
receiving department at that tina
were Frank Snyder and MIGUEL
Gonzales. Hickey then was en-
Unused over Clemens, so enthused
in fact, that he sold Gonzales to
the Giants and traded Snyder to
McGraw for Ferdinand Schupp.
That was in 1919. Five years
later Gonzales returned to the
Cardinals. became the first-string
catcher, while Clemens has been
released.
Clemens was just released to the
Milwaukee Brewers in part of the
transaction for Shortstop Jimmy
Cooney. Lester Bell was transferred
to the Brewers last week. It is
understood that the Brewers are to
get another player in the transac
ton.
Clemens suffered an injury to
knee during the training session
at Florida and although catching
several games this spring did NOT
show his old.time form.
Clemens did not rate as an ex

two players, Everett Barnes, q
first basenan, and jackson Mat
fh0wS, q pitcher. Barnes goes to
Dallas Of the Texas League and
Matthews went to the Waynes-
bOrO club Of the Blue Ridge
League. Now I have got q plan
whereby it would be unnecessary
for clubs to release their players,
and this would be it:
For Judge Lands and the other
generals to pass a rule demanding
that clubs carry the same number
do for pitcher. This would give the
fans lot OF players to cheer for
and it would give the players a lot
Of jobs to cheer for.
It would be a humane thing for
the magnates to do. And there
would be no end Of fun for every.
body that was getting paid. And
the railroad companies have told
me that they would carry special
trains in six sections for the vari.
Gus players.

some Of the clubs that are al
ways selling their material to the
Yankees or to the Giants. For
instance, the Braves would have,
under the AltrOck system, about
1872 players, and If they could sell
say about $50 of them to Colonel
RUPERT for $4,000 each, Why
they could build some new hotels
In Boston.
When I preached this plan to
our manager. Kid Harris. Of the
Washington club. he said it might
be a good thing, but asked:
How many managers would we
have under the plan?"
Two" I answered, "and they
would be myself and you"
"Then," he answered, "the AL
trock plan is out. Nothing doing.
We got to win some games some
time"

has fought no good men since he
faced Dempsey in 1921.
Where Carpenter failed against
Dempsey, Gibbons was a success
Where the Frenchman showed al
most no defense, it. was wholly
through mis- fine defensive skill
that Gibbons lasted fifteen rounds
with the titleholder.
| Jack Dempsey's defense, aside
from his rushing attack, OF
course, is not his best point, anc
/ yet Carpenter could do little Of
nothing with him. On the Other
hand, Gibbons was able to break
through again and again at Shell
by, Mont, though he was fast
firing at the end.
Carpenter, in his climb to the
roof of the European boxing
world, proved himself a man with
Is punch, but Gibbons has done
the same thing. Indeed, most
fistic followers believe Gibbons
a harder hitter than the French
man.
The Frenchman is likely t.
have considerable trouble getting

gets through at all. The St
