ONE CLEVER Pro NOT

the case with respect to irons. But
both MacFarlane and Smith have

Athletics Of those days were not
much more successful than the Phila-
delphias of today. For some reason
the Philadelphia National League
team never has had the best Of lucE,
even when it has had most excellent
players. It has won one champion
ship in it's history and in that year
the actual playing strength of the
team almost surely was not as pow

Force and Sutton developed into
great ball players. In their time they
were known from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi River, both OF them as In

Sutton as hard driver when he met
the ball.

outdoor recreation in America.
A few years ago the motorists wore
store clothes Not necessarily white
collars, but store clothes just the

canvas bundles on the sides OF cars

ball began when he was sent to Phila-
delphia from Brooklyn. a move which
proved in the long run to be of mate
rial advantage to him, as he developed
his business in that city.
Davy Force was not a ball player
of great size physically and wherever
base ball was talked about In those
days much was made of the fact that
the somewhat diminutive Davy could
field the hall across the diamond as
well as if he were a sixfooter. There
was a popular notion in the old times
that the great ball players must be

Fisler was the first base man and
the first of the first base men to at

STEVE O'NEILL GOES
TO HUGGiNS' YANkS

NEW YORK. December f6.--Ths
Stephen O'Neill of the. Pennsylvania
O'Neirs, who invaded the coal fields
years ago and the st. Louis ball field
some years later.
Most all base ball fans remember
the st. Louis battery--Jack and Joe
o'Neill. They were the older broth
ers of Steve and one of them was SO
adept that he could tell you every
play in a nine-inning game from start
to finish without n box score.
Well, Steve is a younger brother of
the ONeills of yore, and he has been
catching for the Cleveland club and
the Boston Red SoX for lot of years.
He was sent TO the Red Sox last
Spring and today was claimed by the
Yankees through the well known
waiver route. The Boston club wished
to send him to a National League
team, when Miller Huggins raised his
hand and refused.
When the world series OF 1920 was
over O'Neiil could not have been
bought for 100000. He was the
kingpin American League catcher. He
slowed up in the next two seasons
and in 1923 was sent to the Boston
Red SoX. There he caught well, but
hit for only .236. Thus it happens
that in 1924 he is sold for the waiver
price of $4,000.
Miller Euggins, however, believes
that Steven still has a few good
socks left. He expects to train him
down for regular work with Waly
Schang next year O'Neill is a good
right-hand batter when he is hitting
ard for that reason may be of value
The switch means that Fred Hoff-
man probably will be traded by the
Yankees. He didn't catch or bat up
to the expectations OF Huggins last
season. Bengough, formerly of the
Bisons. the youngest of all the Yam
kee catchers, viii be retained.

The proposition that the players re-

There has been some talk that Gin
cinnati would try for. Neun, the ST.
Paul first basemep, who really be-
longs to Detroit. There is little prob
ability that they can get Neun out OF
the American League, however. Cleve-
land, New York and Boston would be
almost certain to refuse to waive on
him. Chicago might refuse also, for
Neun is too promising first baseman
to let get away without struggle.

Idlers and Loafers.

Come ye yourselves apart Into a desert
place and rest q t0hile.-Mark vi.31.
We feel instinctively that there is an
essential difference between the word
''idler'' and the word '1oafer.'
The first describes one who for the
moment is not engaged in work.
The second describes one who makes
it a point never to do any work if he
can possibly get out of it.
To be idle sometimes is the part of
wisdom
1t is the needful rest and relaxation
which Christ invited his disciples to
share with Him when they were over
strained and worn out with labor
The best way to enjoy it is to get
away from the crowd into some quiet
place where the heart can be still with
God in the open air. 1t is most sweet
when it is shared by true friends. Such
idleness may be very fruitful. 1t reaps
The harvest OF a quer eye
That broods and sleeps his own heart.
But the loafer is a person -unprofitabIe
to himself as well as to others.
He is a parasite, a thief of time,
cumberer of the ground.
If he will not work, neither let him
eat.
Then he will soon pass away-unless
he happens to inherit fortune.
