WILL
GIVETEAMS HARD
THIS YEAR
Stanley Harris, Young
4 Pilot, Looks For Good
Season

4 WASHINGTON, April 11.-when the
ationals take the field Tuesday in the
Inaugural of the twenty-fourth annual
championship campaign of the modern
1merican league, Manager Stanley Har-
rs Is confident they will be ready to
live all of the other aggregations in
Fan Johnson's circuit good battle.
The young pilot of the Washington
Hub Is pot predicting any pennant for
lis charges, nor does he even go so far
/ % TO claim a first division berth for
|aeln, but Harris Is sincere in his be-
lee that he heads a big league ball club
letter than the average, one that will
lake deal of beating.
Harris admits that his outfield does
lot measure up to several other garden
examinations in the Johnsonian circuit,
Tut has great faith in his battery men
Ind infield. The boss is especially proud
& his pitching staff, which he asserts
Ihould get the Nationals away to a
|plendid start in the flag race.
The manager probably is justified in
| Is faith in the hurting corps. Walter
Johnson, who did well last season, de-
|pite the handicap of weak legs, is in
reat physical condition this spring,
nd in his work in exhibitions so far
as appeared more like the johnson of
BIB than in at least the last four sea-
|3ns. Even with his wobbly underpin-
ing johnson last year turned in a re-
|pectable record. This year, with a fair
reRk in fortune, he ought to be the
host dependable pitcher with the club,
position he enjoyed for more than ten
ears after coming to Washington in
boz.
Mogridge In Good Shape
George Mogridge, another veteran,
lso seems to be better fitted for a
ror low hnr h. -
me last spring. This willy left-hander
as toiled earnestly to condition him
elf for a good getaway.
Among the eight other hurlers on his
aft, Harris has three or four quite
kelly to do some sensational flinging.

oungsters who starred in the Southern
ssociation before coming up to the Ma
onals, have developed with a rush in
ne past few days. Marberry worked
a few games in the Georgia avenue
ark late last season, but Wingfield
ever showed his wares here. Chances
re, however, that both will adorn the
III frequently this season.
Specie Is Highly Regarded
But though these boys are showing
aeir manager so much real pitching
bility nowadays, Harris has not aban-
oned his plan of having Byron Specie

nothing, as follows:
"The race promises to be closer than
ever, as al the clubs have been
strengthened. The speculation Of the
fans is can the Giants make it four
straight? No club in 48 years has
been able to do so.
''The Cincinnati and Pittsburg clubs,
chief contenders last season, have added
materially to their strength, especially
in the box, and those young players of
the cubs have become seasoned and will
be dangerous this year.
'The second division clubs have been
strengthened"
At this stage of the statement, the
spectacle of the Dodgers being kicked
all over the south by the Yankees and
the Phillies playing worse than ever
was wildly recalled, and rude mirth
greeted President Heydler's closing re-
marks.

GAME played by comparati

GAME played by comparatively
few, known by even less, but a real
form of athletic competition. now reigns
on the closed-up courts of the Birming-
ham Athletic club. Usually elderly men
or men of business affairs participate
in this sport, yet some of the athletic
worlds most renowned figures are
adopts at it. The game of handball
is little known by the average fan, I'M
interesting to watch to those who know
little of it, and considered a poor sort
of exercise by those who have not
played it. But it is real sport, never
theleSs.
The annual handbaIl tournament
is under way at the b. A. G. and in
it will perform some real stars Of
the game. Principally the tOurna.
ment will center around the play
of Harry WOrtheimer and his part
ner. WOrtheimer is one Of the best
handbau experts in the south and
was one time sent to the national
tournament by the b. A. C. On
his recent trip here with the Tigers,
Harry Heilmann, leading American
league batter, and leading Detroit
handball player, sought to take the
measure Of the local shark Incl
dentally, WOrtheimer took him in
tow by an enormous score. He did
not reach 10 before the Magic City
star had gone out in two games.
HeiImann is known as a crack at
the handball game, but had nothing
on the local entry.
Baseball managers recognize the fine
features of handball and it used to be
that large part of spring training was
taken on the handball court. Many man.
ayers still use it and find it very
successful conditioning game. For this
reason there are many baseball stars

JUST A FEW QUESTIONS


The year is half gone, the nation
celebrated it's birthday on the fourth,
and there was much oratory and
some fireworks. Every thinking per-
son had a. few moments Of quiet
meditation about things in general,
and where we are drifting in par
ticular. AS you know l am no pes
simist / think the pendulum will.
generally swing just so far and then
reach the limit. But in the mean
time there is death in the cup" for
many who are drinking while the
pendulum is reaching that limit.
There never was a truer, or more
vital question than this one, How
shall they be taught unless they
have teacher?"
Run your minds eye down the
mental list of parents and see how
many are teaching their children to
walk in the paths Of righteousness.
Example is mightier than precept,
and mother need not tell her child
what g. sin it is to steal and then
slip" things herself. A father can
not teach his boy the truths of hon
| esty, soberness and virtue while he
is daily transgressing the law him
! self. %Young minds are taking in
what is said and assimilating it with
what is seen. The father who brags
! about getting ahead of the revenue
| officer, or making a sharp trade by
! misrepresenting facts, is laying the
| foundation Of thieyery and other
! crimes in the minds Of the little ones
about his knees.
| NJ fo
robbed the fruit trees while the own
ers were away. 1t made the biggest
king of racket when the children
were called little thieves. The thing
was palliated and the excuse given
that "all children thought what they
saw belong to them
! The answer was that they might
| think so the first time, but if their
parents were honest they would be
| taught better, and IL nothing else
! would impress it a thrashing might
! help. The question was asked, why
did the children wait till nobody was
at home?" Don't defend your child
at the expense Of truth. You are
not making the child love nor respect
YOU when you make excuses that are
not true, you are only making your
self out untruthful and he will not
| fail to take advantage of it.
1 was talking to a woman about
very bad son, he has caused his
, family all sorts of trouble, and this
friend of the family said: The boy
is the outcome of their training. He
was untruthful when a little fellow
and as bad as could be. They would
let him go on till their patience
would be exhausted, then light ini'
and wear him out. They were not
systematic in government when in
a good humor they overlooked things
that they whipped for at other
times.

All Records Broken
In Peach Movement

MACON, Ga, July 9.-The move
,ment of Georgia peaches broke all
records of the season yesterday,
when 404 carloads left this territory
for northern and eastern markets.
The Carman variety is now moving
fast and will be sold within the next
ten days. The Hiley Belle crop is
almost over and growers say that
they have received a splendid price
for this variety this year.
The choice Carmen and Hileys
have been selling from 50 to SIS per
crate in the east. The smaller
peaches have not been bringing such
good prices and the market for these
has been rather dull.
1t will be only a short time now be-
fore the Georgia Bellies and the Ell.
bertas will begin moving. These
crops are expected to bring the peak
of peach prices for the year.

have to be bluffed, while others haye
to be jollied, Some wives have to
use strong-arm methods, while the
patient Griselda stuff wins out for
others. Some husbands can be
worked by tears, while the key to
others has to be creased with salve.
1t all depends on the man,
Let us consider some of the COM
mon or garden variety types Of hus-
bands.
First, the sensitive husband who
is always getting his feelings hurt
and who pouts and glooms around
the house, and when asked what is
the matter, replies, ooh, nothing, p"
and wears the general look of an
early Christian martyr.
He is easy. He just wants to be
babied, and petted, and kissed, and
told he is the most boofulest sing
in the world, mudders fair-haired,
precious boy. The wife with this
sort of husband should be her own
press agent, and call his attention
to every single, solitary thing she
does for him, and tell him how she
considers his, taste in every bit of
the food she buys for dinner, and
how she runs the house to please
him, and what precious privilege
it is to put the studs in his shirt
This will soothe his improving sense
of importance, and make him eat out
of her hand.
Then there is the bossv man. The
man with the head-of-the house COM
pick. 1t is mere child's play to
manage him. if his wife will only
take the trouble to seek his advice
on every subject from buying her
lingerie to asking him what she
thinks she thinks. No woman can
come nearer to doing as she pleases
than the wife Of the bossy man, be-
cause he is so swelled up over her
