the hidden ball,

It seems that Evers took a
Spaulding grapefruit and hid 1t all
over him and then let Fish play
hide and seek until he couldn't be
fooled. Finally, according to hear.
say, Evers tried swallowing a ball
and dared Elsh to find it. And
the ball wouldn't digest, and as it
is the so-called lively ball, Mr..
Evers got to having pains and had
to go right to Troy.
Although, why anyone should go
to Troy is more than / can find
out, and IL I ever have to go there,
won't ever feel like going to
Europe with the Giants and White
Sox.
But you can knock the hidden
ball trick all you want, as it is a
good one. I have something just
like it and it would be called the
hidden quarter trick. You go home
with your pay roll and when your
missus takes charge Of it-as they
always try to do-why you hide a
quarter, and that makes her SO
sore that she gets to frisking you
for the hidden quarter.
When she gets SO excited for
the quarter you steal back five
spot just as you let her find the
two-bit piece, and she is SO het
up that she never notices the
missing five dollars, and, so,
friend, you are $4.75 winner on
the evening. And anybody who
can bat AIS is more than Babe
Ruth can brag.
When I asked big Ed Walsh If
he was going to present some Of
his pitchers to royalty in Europe,
he replied:
"If they keep on like they started
this year, 1 think we will present
the pitchers as well as the whole
club to anybody who wants them. I"
will you play any double-head-
ers over there?" 1 asked Of Big Ed,
who replied:
IT don't think sd, because the
Giants is always playing extra-in-
ming games. and we don't want to
get pinched for keeping King George
up past his bedtime stories"

What Harvard Needs.

speech before the Varsity

harvard and cornell are rae
ing today on Lake Cayuga. Hub
bell, a candidate for the varsity
shell, was dropped by the coach
Thursday afternoon. He had
trained faithfully from February,
worked his head off to make
good for Harvard and. on the
eve of this particular race, was
told he was 30 longer a member
of the varsity.
If you've ever been a college
athlete, you'll know that, to Hub
bell, the end of the world had
come, though only for a few
hours.
If you've never been a col
lege athlete, or any other kind
of an athlete, just imagine that
you have lost all that you had
been striving for over a long
period of weeks. How would you
feel?
Well, that's the way Charlie
Hubbell must have felt Thursday
afternoon. Now, here's the point
of all this.
On Thursday night this same
Charlie Hubbell rallied the under
graduates and led them in a rous-
Ing send-off as the crew left for
Cayuga. He smothered his own
personal feelings, but none
thought of that.

Great Light Expires.

A MOTHER great football
~ player has passed into the
"A Valley of Shadows in the
person of "Chuck" Barrett. Cor
nell's brilliant quarterback in
1918, 1914 and 1915.
Barrett was a quarterback par
excellence, excelling at CARRYING
the ball, kicking, and directing his
eleven. 1t was largely through
his own personal efforts that Cor
nell broke it's long losing streak
on Franklin Field against Penn
sylvania.
In 1915 Barrett was Cornell's
captain and his playing against
Harvard at Cambridge was quite
the most brilliant of the season.
Cornell won, 10 to 0, and largely
because of Barrett, though he was
injured early in the game, fol-
lowing an especially hard tackle.
That same year, by the way, Cor
nell romped away from Michigan,
81 to Z, Barrett playing brilliant
football.

CIRCUS DAY ON THE WAY

A few days now and there will roll
out of the dawn, the great trucking
wagons of the Sparks Circus, in Fitz-
gerald for a one days stay shortly.
From nowhere it will appear to come,
the great tents will go magically into
the air-it will seem that the great
mushroom growth Gust happened
but it didn't.
For months the men have been
working that the Sparks Circus might
come to Fitzgerald. And when it ar
rives, it will mean that the efforts of
more than hundred men, who have
gone before it have been successful.
The first man to start in the ad-
vance of a circus is the first contract
ing agent. His task is to prepare the
way for the coming of others. Then
there starts, three weeks before the
the circus, the No 1 Advertising car
carrying twenty-five bill posters, lith-
ographers, banner tackers and others.
A few days and there comes the first
press agent. Then comes the second
contracting agent. Then the No. 2 car
with twenty-five more men. Another
wait and still another press agent.
Then a week before the show comes
the third car with more men. And
should this not be enough, there is
brigade of eight men who are suppos-
ed to work as hard and do as much
as the sixty or seventy men on the
three cars.
But the list isn't complete yet. There
arrive the programmes who pass out
small billing and the heralds. And
then, just to see that everything has
been done right, there arrive the
"checkers up" who go over the work
done by everyone and see that it has
been done correctly. And even then,
the work is not ended.
For there yet must come the twenty
four hour men who notify every per-
son seen by the contracting agents,
Just when the circus is to arrive and
when the supplies must be on the lot.
And so when the Sparks Circus comes
here there will be nothing Of the "hap-
pen so" about its arrival. For hun
dred men have gone before it and
never a detail is neglected-even to
the routing of the parade and the
bumps in the road that lead from the
railroad tracks to the lot. But the
work of circus doesn't show on the
surface. And it shouldn't. For if there
is anything that should show its ro-
mantle side it is the place of glaring
chandeliers and sprinkled wood shaw
ings-the Circus.
The Sparks Circus is a Georgia pro-
duct that has gained a National repu-
tation for Cleanliness and Honesty, so
why not WAIT for an attraction of
merit. Prices: Children under IL years

BOYS HAVE ALL EXPENSES PAID

A Week in Atlanta Studying Fair Exhibits and
Modern Farm Methods Under Com
petent Instructors.

Atlanta.-There is q slogan in use
in Texas, which runs: '"The filter the
folks, the filter the State" That
sounds good and it Is an absolute
truth.
Since the year Of It's inception, the
Southeastern Fair has been striving
to make filter the folks OF the section
1t serves, and one Of the means Of at.
tanning this has been to work with the
young folks Of the country.
One Of the most important features
of the annual events is the Southeast
ern Fair School, which is made up OF
two boys from each county In Geor-
gia, more than three hundred boys,
who come to the fair, are provided
with meals and sleeping quarters, and
given instruction daily during the fair
in matters pertaining TO farming and
stock raising.
The instructors are furnished by the

always will remain, the workshop OF
the world" is ridiculous.
Why are the Americans foremost IN
the world, not only in the output OF
food and raw products but also IN
that of manufactured goods! The rea-
son is obvious to all who are acquain-
ted with economic conditions on Doth
sides of the Atlantic.
England, the former stronghold OF
individualism and efficiency, has be-
come a stronghold of Socialism. Ow-
ing to Socialstic influence cacanny
has become universal. The suicidal
policy of restricting output has led to
hostility to labor-saving machinery
The result is that the average Amerl-
can workman produces as much as
three English workers.
Goods produced must be consumed.
They are consumed and enjoyed en-
tirely by the working masses. Pro-
duction being three times as great IN
the United States as over here, work
ers receive not merely three times as
much money but receive three times
as much real wages in the, form OF
goods which they can buy. Hence the
American workers are infinitely bet
ter fed, clothed and housed than the
British workers.
The American worker recognizes
that prosperity consists in an album
dance of useful goods and nothing
else and that such abundance can not
be created by insisting on high wages
in respect of an utterly insufficient
output. Hence the American worker
can afford a motor-car and other
things.

citation. These boys are the most PRO-
gressive in the communities from
which they come, and are selected af-
ter competitive examination by coun'

will come to the fair this year, October
4 to II, have already been selected by
most of the counties. It is impossible
to calculate the benefit which will
eventually accrue to the boys, the COM

Many of these boys have live stock
