The boys were punching the bag
the other day, and someone asked me
what club l was most interested in,
in training.
They all laughed when I said the
st. Louis Browns-but was seri.
Gus. It wasn't that I'm afraid OF
the Browns this year, or that l
of pennant or anything Ike
that. The reason 1 find the Browns
interesting is that Dan Howley this
spring has a lot of unknowns over
there at West Palm Beach-and
you never can tell what young
fellows will do. You know, after
all, the thing that gave the Yam
KEGS the .pennant by such big
margin last year was their ability
to take the Browns into camp
every time they met. Most people
lose sight of that. Nine times out OF
ten the pennant isn't decided by
the games between the contending
clubs, but by the games which the
leaders have with the tall-enders.
Off hand, If / had to pick the
four clubs that would be in the
pennant fight from the start
I'd name Philadelphia, Wash
ingtOn. Detroit and the Yankees.
But the teams that are apt 10
cause the most troHbie-even
though they aren't pennant con-
tenders themselveS-are teams
like the White SOx, st. Louis
and Cleveland. Even the Red
SOx can't be counted out at this
early season.
Bill Carrigan was over In our
camp a few days ago saying
Hello to the boys, and he tells
me the Sox are looking at least ~
last season. When Bill tells me
that, / believe him. He knows
what he is talking about.
| Another interesting thing this
year win be to see how Ty Cobb
| and iris Speaker go with the
Athletics. Personally have q
bunch Iris will be more valuabAs
player than Ty--and I'm not taking
away from Tyrus either. He's stu
a bearcat and will be so long
as he's able to walk up there to
the plate and take his swing.
Just the same I believe that
young ball players are best. You
can't take a lot of veterans and
push them through to a pennant
and I have a bunch that VIII
be the th1ng Lnat Will HhEl lHo
Athletics most before the season
comes to an end.
/ So far as the Yankees are con-
cerned. we're about ready now.
Hug will stand pat on last years
team with the possible exception
of the pitchers. And we have
some mighty good looking kids in
camp, too.
There's a young fellow named
Darocher, an infielder; Pitchers
! Johnson and Shealy, and a couple
| of outfielders who look good enough
| to stick right now. With some Of
| the teams this coming season will
be a gamble. But not with the
Yankees. We've got our same old
! lineup ready to start off with.
| We're all set.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
10 notice where most of the news
paper boys already are picking the
Yankees to breeze into q pennant
again this year. That's nice Of the
boys-but it gives me a laugh. Try
ing to pick a pennant winner In the
second week of training. is like try
ing to beat the shell game or pick
an ace out, of SO playing cards. 1t
just isn't being done.
Naturally. l believe we will repeat
again this year, for l think we have
the best ball club in either league.
But it won't be any breeze. And 1t
won't be any runaway race, either.
And at tfis time Of year the
thing I'm interested in is the
young fellows. So is every other
real baseball man. For it's the
kids who will tell the story. The
old fellows, we know, know what
they can do and what to expect.
But the kids who are going into
their first training camp are the
lads who have to be watched.
They're unknown.

Fort Washington that Washington had thought impregnable had fallen. In November and De- cember he was in virtual retreat before the Brit ish army that was moving toward Philadelphia. Defeats and assertions had reduced the fine army of early summer to less than 5000 men. Christ mas found Washington in Pennsylvania with the Delaware between him and Howe The latter thought the American would keep it there The feeling among the British that the war about over was shared by many Americans.
 Washington, understanding thoroughly the over-confidence of Howe and his army and know ing that they celebrating the Christmas oc- casion crossed the Delaware with 500 men late Christmas night, 1776. The next morning ne fell upon Gen. Rall and his Hessians-who had taken large part in the Battle of Long Island and the fighting on Manhattan, and had aided in forcing Washington out of White Plains-ad- ministerng a decisive defeat Besides inficting severe losses in killed and wounded among the dead being Gen. Rall, 950 prisoners were taken
 This blow followed within few days py Lord Howes army at Princeton, served notice on the British that the Revolutionary War was stlli a very live proposition. It heartened the Am ericans that recruiting and financing were easier the next year which was characterized by Bur goyne's surrender and the winning or recognl- tion followed by aid from France.

celebrating an ancient pagan holiday and in sup port of their contention they pointed to the fact that the Christmas observance with feasting and merry making such marked the jubilation of the ancients over the fact that the sun was again northbound on its annual life-giving journey
 Well, suppose that all true. To the ancents the coming of the sun meant that the winter which had killed the flowers barred the trees chilfed the earth and stopped all growing things would in due course be put to flight. Spring and summer would come again. Again there would be beautiful flowers, green fields full granares There was coming another season ol life
 Is not the Christian idea of the coming Of Christ symbolic of that very thing? Did He not come to bring life? Does He not represent in spiritual things what the sun meant materially! Is not the standardization of material world work for the Christian religion? What could be more appropriate than the conversion to Chrls- tiauity of this ancient festival occasion?

A MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS.

TThe following editorial was published by the Cincinnati Enquirer fifteen years ago--christ- mas Day 1913. It has been published many times since then by many papers]
 In the little village of Bethlehem. 5000 feet above the sea, nestled among the hills of Judea, far from the seats of the mighty of the world, distant from the marts of commerce, among the most humble. yea pitable surroundings, a child was born nearly 2,000 years ago through whom mankind should be redeemed.
 Graded in a manger though of the line of David and Solomon; carried into Egypt in flight from Herod, the murderous yassal of Inn perial Rome; crucihed at the demand of the mob of Jerusalem--this day Rome, Jerusalem and every other capital of the world rings with His praises and rejoices at His birth and His triumph over Death.

of the love of the Creator for His creatures and unfolded the duty of man to his God and to his fellow men.
 His holy war upon sin His entire aim was to eliminate evil; His pity for the errng has limit; His sympathy for the sui fering end; His love for mankind no cessa- tion.
 His earthly existence ushered in with the angelic proclamation, "Glory to God in the highest, and cn earth peace good will toward men,"
 It closed with that divine call for mercy, that pathetic, yea, loving appeal for forgive ness to those who denied mercy to Him while in His agones upon the cross:
 Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
 IL is this constant love of humanity. this spirit of mercful forgiveness, this confidence in God, this faith in everlasting life, which is the very essence of Christianity.
 Twenty centuries have brought mankind closer to the living God, the God of Abraham, of Isaa, and of Jacob, and this through the Christ who was cradled in the manager of Bethlehem il Judea.

Christmas Bells.
By HENRY W. LoNGFELLow

By HENRY W. LoNGFELLOW. I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols pla, And wild and sweet The words repeat
 Of peace on earth goodwill to men! And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken song
 Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. Till, ringing, singing on its way. The world revolved from night to day, A voice, chime A chant sublime 4 Of peace on earth, goodwill to men Then from each black. accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the south, And with the sound The carols downed
 Of peace on earth, goodwill to men! It was as if an earthquake rent The hearthstones of continent, And made forlorn The households born
 Of peace on earth, goodwill to men, And in despair I bowed my head; There is no peace on earth,' I said, For hate is strong, And mocks the song
 Of peace on earth, goodwill to men Then pealed the bells more loud and deep God Is not dead. nor doth He sleep! The worng shall fail, The right prevail.
 With peace on earth, goodwill to men!

CHRISTMAS CLEAR THROUGH THE
 YEAR.

I am thinking of you today because
 it is Christmas. and 1 wish you happl-
 ness and tomorrow, because it will be
 the day after Christmas, 1 shall still
 wish you happiness; and so on clear
 through the year. may not be able
 to tell you about it every day, because
 I may be far away because both or
 us may be very busy; perhaps because
 I cannot afford to pay the postage on so
 many letters, find time to write
 them But that makes difference.
 The thought and the wish will be here
 just the same In my work and Tn the
 business of life I mean to try not to be
 unfair to you injure you in any
 way In my pleasure, if can be
 together would like to share the fun
 with you. Whatever joy or success comes
 to you will make glad. Without
 pretense and in plain words, goodwill
 to you is what 1 mean, in the spirit
 of Christmas Henry Van Dyke)
 The work that undertaken by the Nazarene nearly two thousand years ago will not have been completed until the goodwill thoughts and acts that characterize Christmas celebration also the customary thoughts and acts "clear through the year. And it does not require an unreasonable flight of the magina- tion to visualize such condition. The very fact that a whole world is now observing the Christ mas occasion. that it is fairly wetering in the spirit of Him who to bring peace and goodwill and is doing Him willing and en- thusiastic honor is token of an even better time coming.
 Also the fact of the universality of the ob- seryanee of Christmas is evidence of the rapid growth of the Christ spirit The circumstance of the acceleration of the growth of Christmas goodwill during the last 200 years, covering the period of the development of so-ealled materialist civilization. is the answer to those who would have it believed that materalism ane machinery and science smothering spiritua things. Already the spirit is colorng the whole worlds thoughts and acts, and it needs littl foresight to a continuation of the thing unti it shall become a dominating factor of ou entire civilization. When that time come Christmas will not be confined to the brief perio, that marks the shortest days of the year.
