"W0RK HARD, PLAY FAIR"
GRID STAR TELLS BOYS

CHICAGO, February 18.-Cheat
or "Play dirty" i'm an athletic game
and you always lose, Harold "Retl"
Grange, University of Illinois aIl-
American half back and leading
scorer OF the Big Ten in 1923, told
400 boys attending a boys round
up of the v. Nj. G.. A., here.
The famous foot ball player gave
the youths another maxim when he
declared that only by "getting out
and digging" can a person become
a winning athlete"
"WOrk hard and play fair" he
urged.
Grange spoke on "The Place of
Athletics In the Life Of n Boy"
He told the youngsters from the
stores, banks and factories that
every American hoy should try out
for some form of sport, for physical
development n swell as fun. Physi-
cal development, he said, is the
basis of all success i'm business.

A city spreads over rolling hills and
along the banks of the river Hot
tamales sizzle the throat and chile
con carne satisfies an appetite that
yearns for solace from sundaes and
strawberry spiZZles.
The diamond used is that of the San
Antonio base ball club, where. in
the summer the quiet-loving Texan
seeks the shade of the soft wooden
bench and when his bones begin to
ache vents his agony on the poor nut
who drops a long one in right field.
The surface soil of the park is
smooth and sandy and bakes hard in
the sun of the semi-tropics The
fences in certer field and right field
are far away and away off down in
one corner of right field where tree
droops over the fence deep notch
is cut to show where Davy Robertson
one pleasant afternoon knocked the
ball over the barrier when the Giants
were playing. The ball hit a mule,
the mule moved rapidly away from
the scene, an automobile intercepted
the mule in its flight, but the Texas
mule is no respecter of anything and
the automobile was wrecked on the
curb while the mule pursued his mad
way seeking further cars to con-
Quer.
Usually the. climate of San Antonio
is serene and the air so soft that ball
players forget to abuse the umpire
because their vocal organs have be-
come spongy. They leave the city
saying "goshalI fishhooks' instead of
something worse and have even been
known to call an umpire Mr." before
crossing the county line.
