A DAY IN THE WOODS.


Nom let the nations rise or fall,
or tDork their tDill as best they may.
Where, Just aboue, the naples cdu
And, Just belotc, the brook trout
play.
The crotcded streets, the haunted faces
Are some,ohere in another life;
Where, of here In the hidden places,
A hooked trout Is the only strife.
Ten thousand leagues dwoy, or more,
The tDorn and hdggUd hold their
ruts.
The Dild fan bdbbles of the score,
The du6er gro,cls about his puts.
But, Just dboue me, no,D, clear ringing,
The brotDn thrush marbles in the
pine,
And, just below. the brook is singing
The Dhile ! i0ish their songs uere
mine.
Yes, I should be at pork, I knoU,
For duty beckons back to toUn.
But through the trees the golden gloU
OF ApriPs morning sun drifts dopn
And, after all, ,Dhat is ambition,
With all its gay and galdy CLEANS,
Compared to the complete fruition
OF peace, contentment, rest and
dreams?

Held to Three Hits.

4 IL told the Nationals got but
n three hits off the Boston pitch
ing. The Braves used three
pitchers, namely Ed Brandt, Ben
Cantwell and Fred Farmhouse. Each
pitched three innings. OF the left
handed Brandt not a bingle was
made, and only one hit was made OF
Cantwell.
One Of these two pitchers will hurl
the opening game Of the National
League season for the Boston club
next Tuesday, probably Brandt.
Washington used for its pitchers
Mark Filley, right-hander sent up by
Albany for trial, and Linke. Filley
pitched the first five innings. He
gave performance that was really
impressive to Manager Cronin. Mark
yielded four of the seven hits that
were made by the Braves in his five
innings on the hill, but his control
was excellent. The Washington man
ager said after the game that Fflley
although still the property of the
Albany club, might attract the in
terest Of those in charge of the Wash
ington Club.
Two of the Nationals three hits
were made by Elmer Klumpp, and the
second safety by the rookie catcher
averted shut-out for the American
League champions.
This second hit, a single, came In
the ninth inning after Farmhouse
had filled the bases with passes. II
was a slash to right that scored
both runs.

IN WEST
ESPECIALLY GOOD
Some of Clubs Will Make
Enough to Pay Most of
Training Expenses.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

DI rhhNOlS De EoWEhS.
)HICAGO, April 11.-At-
I tendance at exhibition
Y games in which major
- league base ball teams
exhibited their stars has been
unusually good this Spring and
some of the big league clubs will
be able to pay of a large share
OF their training camp expenses
without drawing on the home
bank.
The turnouts have been exception
ally large in the Far West, the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox
having played to a 10000 crowd out
in Arizona and attracted $4,000 in
two-day stand in Ell Paso.
This would indicate a revival Of
base ball interest outside the majors
and perhaps the minors will find
smoother sailing than they have en-
joyed for the past several seasons,
when 1t was touch and go for even
some of the Glass AA organizations.
The Pacific Coast League started OF
in good style, while the American As
sociation, well fortified in its other
cities, settled the uncertainty in Louis
vile when the Knebelkamps pur-
chased the Colonels and assured that
team Of strong financial backing.
The International, Of course,
strengthened its lineup when the
Jersey City team was moved to Syra-
cuse. where new park was provided.

Jack Has the Works.

Jack Has the WORKS.
TACK came in with all he had, bent
al to his shoetops and speared the
drive. He came up In perfect
position, poised for a fraction Of a
second and whipped the ball to the
plate with such startling speed that
Lee, who had rushed off third. pulled
up and figured the better part of dis
cretion was to return to the sack.
That great throw made it safe,
temporarily, for the Nationals. as
Mark Filley. the pitcher, tossed out
Ben Cantwell.
This Stone has everything appar-
emily to qualify him as the Nationals
regular right fielder. He can hit. He
has proved that in his service in the
big league. He can drive in runs.
He has proved that in his rating of
the past year, if not before. when he
sent across more tallies than Goslin
as he batted over more runs than the
Goose, who had q better batting
average. And he revealed yesterday
that he has a throwing arm compa-
rable with the best in the circuit.
The Nationals took their licking be-
cause Ed Linke, the pitcher used after
Flley had pitched five innings, de-
veloped q wild streak. Linke, the re-
formed fat boy recalled from the
Chattanooga farm, evidently was
pressing, and in his second turn on
the hill-the seventh inning-tried to
put too much into his fast ball. That
was disastrous to the Nationals cause.
In the seventh everything went bad
for Iinke. Moore singled to center
Whitney doubled. Then came a pass,
filling the bases. Another walk and a
run was over. Still the third walk
and second tally was across. Can't

singled to right. Two more runs
