THE SLUGGER
Hell ed the league in smuggling,
lie could hit 'em hard and far;
In fact it was his clouting
That made him such = star.
And al the others wondered.
Where he got his power and punch
For he ate no betty beefsteaks,
For breakfast, supper, lunch.
He never made the dining room,
Where the other fellows diner;
When the time arrived for eating,
He was mighty hard 10 find.
He sought out corner lunch rooms,
Where the menu price was low;
This bird believed in hording,
Hew as saving all his dough.
lie lived on bread and chill,
And IL made his teammates wonder
Where he gathered all the power.
That was in his batting thunder.
Il. H.. Addington in Sporting News.
When ball players are on the road
their expenses are paid. Most clubs
give the players so much per day for
eats. The average allowance Of a
minor league club down in the B, C
and ID circuits, Is two dollars and
twenty-five cents per day. We have
seen players save about 0ne-fifty per
day on their eats. About like the one
Mr.. Addington describes, above.
Messrs Denton and Morrison,
coaches. respectively, OF Harlin-

strong, and along with McAllen,
appear TO be the strongest in the
Valley at this time. But o can

Glen Scheupbach, former Harlin-
gen high school football star, was in
attendance at the game Thursday in
san Benito between Brownsville
junior College and San Benito high
school ~elevens. Glen, in his playing
days. was one Of the best players in
the Valley. He remarked that Den
tons squad looks great. And this
fellow knows what he Is talking
about. Harrington. then, will have
another great high school football
machine.
Press dispatches tell Us that II the
Birmingham club wins the Dixie Sc
ries from Houston. they will be rich
Is rewarded. Why? Owner Of the
Barons is rich man. Well, Houston,
owned by the st. Louis Cardinals. is
not lacking . swamp angel" But
then, the Cardinals have other clubs
to take care or. Then, too, Roches-
of the International league, also
owned by the Cards, won the flag in
that league, and are nov engaged in
with indianapolis, winner Of
the American Association race, for
the title Of little wo~ld series.
