timistic side
We always think of what Mike
Kelly loves to tell concerning his
start in baseball. The president of
the Minneapolis team entered the
game when just flirting with 20 years
of age. 1t was back in Massachusetts,
and the elder Kelly, being somewhat
practical old gentleman thought
baseball was just lot of folderol.
"And another thing" he told young
Michael, baseball isn't permanent"
Well, maybe not, Grandpa Kelley,
but it has a good start. It's darn
sight more permanent than some of
the modern prosperity waves.
You know the best positions run
in cycles. Just as college football
coach will have run of good tackles,
then good ends, then good halfbackS,
so will major league baseball find
crying need for good first baSemen,
good pitchers, good catchers. Right
now, it is catching which offers the
best opportunity to the young and
promising diamond athlete. The
cause many smart teachers knew this
opening existed few years ago and
many boys were keen enough to take
up the mask and pad department
I think that pitching will remain
the most universal problem. No
matter how many mound records are
hung up, you always will collar seven
out of ten managers who tell you,
well, we're doing pretty well, yes.
But we could stand some pitching
help"
Let this not be dictatorial, however,
we say raise your boy to be ball
player if he has the bent and that
must be amended to this-"Raise him
to be good major Lacquer. You
might as well 60 all the way and it's
a great deal more profitable"
Many oldtimers say they would
prefer to be a great outfielder for
this reaSon-the outfielder really can
get by on hitting alone; he does not
have too much work to do in the
field. But you recall when you and
you were kids and you wanted to do
just one of two things-pitch or play
first base. You wanted to pitch be-
cause then you dominated the team
and you wanted to play the initial
sack because it was fun taking throws
all the time, hearing the decision of
tout" if you handled the play clearly.
There is this against the pitchers
they will last a bit longer, perhaps,
but they won't make as much money
as star regular. Top price for pitch
ing has been $25 1000, shared by Dizzy
Dean and Buzzy Vance (Isn't it
murder that Cy Young, Mathewson
and Johnson couldn't horn in on that.
There is no limit on the money drawn
by steady regular. 1t often hits Is
grand but of course you will see no
more 100000 paper scattered around
as it was to Babe Ruth.
If your boy hits the major leagues,
he will live in the best hotels, eat the
best food, have an incentive for keep
ing his body trim and clean. Unless
he is an out and out substitute or
rookie, his salary should average be-
tween five and eight thousand. I say
it again-What other business offers
youth such top flight money so early.
And there is never any worry about
unemployment if you have the goods.

torch MURDER"
Burned Victim in Auto
In Insurance Plot

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 1S Q.NSD.
An Italian immigrant candy
maker and the son, he might have
saved, paid with their lives in the
electric chair early today for the
insurance plot torch Staying" OF
stranger.
Stoical to the end, the 54-year.
old father, Frank Distasio, and his
23.year-old American-born son, An.
thony, expiated their crime in
State prison at Charlestown after
a last dramatic "goodby." It was
the first father-and-son execution
in Massachusetts,.
APPEALS FAILS
Anthony was convicted as an &C
cessory in the murder of Frank
Crowley, the friendless freight
handler the Distasios picked as the
victom of their $4,000 insurance
plot, and it had been believed that
a word from the elder DistaSlo
might save Anthony. But even
after a last-minute appeal to Gov
ernor Hurley failed, the father de-
clined to absolve his son of com
plicity.
AS the pair shook hands in a
farewell meeting, the fathers only
word was:
"Good-by son. it's tough, but
I'll see you again"
And the sons only response as
he clasped his fathers hand was:
"Good-by."
NO RESENTMENT
Young Anthony apparently bore
no resentment against his father
for refusal to try to spare his life.
Anthony was the first to go. The
switch was thrown by Robert FL
lott, who officiated at the deaths
of. Ruth Snyder, Judd Gray and
Bruno Hauptmann.
During trial of the case, the
Government contended the father
and son drove about Boston, May
6, 1885, looking for a likely victim
to play the part of the corpse of
the elder Distasio in a plot to col
lect $4,000 insurance.
PICK UP STRANGER
Crowley, stranger, was invited
for a ride. The State, contended
that at Hudson, Crowley was
beaten over the head with an iron
bar and left to die in a fire, set to
destroy the Distasio automobile
and its helpless occupant.
Frank DistaSio was convicted of
the actual Staying of Crowley. An
thony was found guilty as an &C
cessory before the fact, his con-
viction on this charge under the
Massachusetts, S ia tute carrying
the death penalty.

she had taken down from the shelf
for her supper that cold New Years
eve was from that fruit. The Jar
had held candied ginger in Miss Ad-

she and little Matte had eaten the
ginger from it. She recalled that
she and Matte had picked goose
berries from a bush which grew
near the place where the bush
which had caused so much trouble
now grew. She recalled the many
happy times she and Miss Matte
had spent together-the times when
Miss Matte had been real friend
in need-had helped to ease some
hurt or tighten some sorrow. What
a pity it seemed that such friend
ship should ever be broken. Miss
Adde'S dog had been given away
long ago, and Miss Mattie's cat had
wandered away from home and
never returned. With the two origi-

wasn't it too bad for one-time
friends to remain enemies?
Wouldn't it be better to turn over
new leaf this New Years day and
renew their friendship?
It seemed so to Miss Addie and
she resolved not to waste another
minute, but do it right away! So

love in her heart she went to wish
Miss Matte happy New Year.
