Before leaving Tampa last
April, Bucky Harris signed Ben
Egan, a former major league
catcher. He announced that Egan's
duties were to be those of third
base coach. He believed Egan
would be a wonder at the hot cor
ner.
Egan reported and went to
work. The base running of the
Griffmen did not improve. He
did his best. But Egan was in
clined to be conservative. He FIRE
quently held runners at third when
they might have gone on to score.
Suddenly he was released.
The fans misunderstood the
power and duties of coaches. They
almost always think that the first
base coach tells or signals the
runner when to try for a theft of
second base. They think the third
base coach tells the runner when
to go in from third, or when to
come back.
All this is wrong, yet the fans
inherit much of their error from
the days of their youth, with their
baseball on the sandlots. 1t is
difficult to change their minds.

comedians. Their stuff would be-
come stale if shown every day.
But out here in the West they go
big. The fans howl and roar for
them as soon as the batting prac-
tice ends.

What Coaches Do.

TROM observation extending
over many years, this writer
u is inclined to believe the chief
duty of coaches to be that of max
ing noise, instilling what is called
"pep" into some of the more slug
gish players and attracting more
or less legitimately the attention
of the opposing pitcher.
The .comedian-coach is the ideal
noisemaker. He cuts up didoes on
the lines, frequently attracting the
attention of opposing players by
his antics. He whistles, a la AL
Schacht, giving the fans oppor-
tunity to follow his example.
Schact had all St. Louis whistling
in tune with him during the re-
cent series against the Browns.
He tumbles around, a la Uncle
Nick, getting a laugh out of player
and fan alike, taking some of the
seriousness off the contest, steady
ing the nerves Of many high
strung athlete.
w CAO IL NV 4OA ONCA OAAO"S - OALA
catcher or infielder, the first-base
coach would be utterly useless.
There is far more use for third
base coach. Both coaches are the
eyes for players on the bases when
the ball is behind them. Turning
the head means loss of speed for
the runner. The coach is expected
to save that speed by using his
own eyes on the ball and signal
ing to the runner. And that's all
a coach has to do.
AL Schacht is doing well as q
third base comedian-coach. He
uses excellent judgment when it
comes to deciding whether or MOI
to send a runner home from sec
ond. That is his principal duty,
too, by the way.
AS an out-and-oug comedian,
Schacht is not as funny as his
partner, Uncle Nick Altrock,
though together they form a won
derful team for mirth and jollity
Washington sees little of these

One of the Snag Proof Trios in
yaded the Nations Capitol over the
holidays. 1t is reported that the
Oil Scandal got so bad that c. w.
Perkins of the Cost Department and
Campbell Ross and K B. White of
the Waste Reduction Department
simply could not keep away any
longer.
They left Lambertville Thursday
evening in X. BIS. Dodge and after
various adventures reached Wash
ington at noon the next day. They
spread three ways, one interviewing
the President, the second interview
ing the House and the third inter
viewing the Senate and so the feel
ing of Lambertville regarding the
Oil Scandal was made very plain
to the country in general and set
tied at once in a manner satisfactory
to all concerned.
This little detail being accomp-
lished they proceeded back to
"rubber-neck" Washington furiously
in a day and half and returned to
Lambertville Sunday night in time
for the Organ recital from W.E.A.F.

THIEVES ACTIVE
Broom and Cap in Loot.

Thieves have been busy in our
plant during the past week. Many
of the employees are suffering very
much as the result of their activities.
The first article missed was Charles
Schermerhorn's very handsome new
broom. "Skip" Helpers glove fol-
lowed the next day, and this week
Charles Pierman's hat and AL. Nit
chell's apron.
This broom, in particular, was the
pride of Charles Schermerhorn, the
handle having been handsomely
hand-painted by the men of his de-
partment. In place of the new
broom the thieves left three old,
worn-out ones.
"Skip" KEEPER was similarly SER
we'd His glove, his right one, to
be exact, was worn just enough to
be serviceable when some one took
it far away and, in return, left him
one without any thumbs or fingers
in it. "Skip" is going to engage
the Burns Detective Agency and
seeks its return at once.
"Jack" McCusker is all crippled
up from sled riding. Some of the
rest of the boys were pretty lame.
That seems to be the fate of all
the people who try to renew their
youth.
dutch" Suerin was one of the
leading comedians of the minstrel
show in Stockton last Friday.
Russell Mathews is frequently
passed on the street by his best

disguise.
Thieves must have been very busy
for at the same time that Charles
Pierman's cap disappeared, AL. Nit
ehell's apron went.

a paper on current events by Mrs

happenings of the day.
Mrs. d. A. Davenport, of the New

Illustrations were also used in pottery

BApTIsMALs BACK ON TICKET

The wearing of Baptismal Boots
about the factory was evidently an
omen because they have come back
on the ticket again.
Baptismal Boots are an unusual
product and a type of foot wear not
much in vogue in this part of the
country. They are very short and
light boot which are cemented to
the inside of pair of dark blue
water proof cashmerette trousers.
They are sold to Baptist Ministers
who baptise by immersion.
We often wonder what leak
in a pair of these boots would do
to minister's disposition and dig
nifty in a critical moment.

sCoTTY pRoyoKEs Poem.

"Scotty" CIV. S. Scott) our typi-

to poetry last week.
"Scotty" kept continually sending
his friend in Indianapolis. postals of
the Sunny South describing it's plea
sures and delights so wildly that
Mr.. Herschell, the Colyumist of the
News, was moved to reproduce one
of them with the poem printed here
with in self-defense.
Now the Tyrants of the Tropics,
Bold and tantalizing band,
Spread their heartless propaganda
Through this frigid northern land
They, with postal cards emblazoned
To reveal the Southland's cheer,
Flood our homes and desks and poe
kets
With their yell: "Wish you were
here"
From Miami, Tampa, Key West,
Jacksonville, st. Augustine;
Palm Beach, Runnymede, Orlando,
Old Fort Myers-warm and green
Come their postal proclamations
Telling of the glorious there
Where the air is always balmy
And the skies forever fair.
Had sweet swim in the ocean,
"Plucked an orange from the
tree;"
Had game of golf this morning
Thought of you at every tee!"
"Slept last night without a blanketr
"Wore my straw hat to the shorer
"Ate my breakfast in kimono-
Sunshine streaming through the
doorl"
Watched the children playing bare
footl"
"Sat beneath the palm trees
shaded"
Heard mockingbird this morningi
Saw the children's rose parader
Yes, of counsel But what is puzzling
To home friends not hsvened there
Are your telegraphic pleadings:
