BEDTIME STORY Bu THORNTON w.. BURGESS

have seen just where he went and the instant he recovered from his surprise would have been after him. As 1t was, Danny darted right un- der Busters big paw and right across the toes of one of Busters big hind feet. Buster is big fel- low and he looks clumsy, but he isn't nearly as clumsy as he looks. In fact, Buster isn't clumsy at all. He Is surprisingly quick in his move ments for such big fellow. The instant he recovered from his sur prise at the sudden appearance of Danny Meadow Mouse. Buster whirled about. A fat Meadow Mouse would go splendidly with those sweet beechnuts he had eaten.
 But by the time Buster had turned about Danny had darted behind a big tree and there he stopped. He stopped because he didn't know which way to go. It happens that that was the wisest thing he could have done You see. if he had con tinued to run he would have rustled the dry leaves and Buster would have known just where he was. But because he stopped as he did there was nothing to tell Buster which way he had gone.
 For once In his life Danny Mead ow Mouse was glad he was little. Right then he would have been glad to be smaller than he was. Many, many times he had wished he was big, but now he was very, very thankful that he wasn't. Had he been big, as big, let us say. as Peter Rabbit, the chances are that he wouldn't have been able to slip out from under Busters big paw as he had done. He was glad that he was little. Yes. indeed, Danny Meadow Mouse was glad that he was little.

1nder Busters very paw and straight toward him, Buster was so surprised and startled that for second or two he didn't know what to do.
 Now it seemed an absolutely crazy thing for Danny to run straight at Buster, but the truth is It was the wisest thing he could nave done. It wasn't wisdom that made him do 1t. No, indeed, it wasn't wisdom at all. It was just pure fright and nothing else. Danny vas so frightened that he didn't have any idea at all where he was running. He just ran, that was all. And because he happened 10 be fac ing Buster Bear he ran straight at him.
 Now If he had run away from Buster things might not have turned put at all as they did. Buster would

His name Is Billy Sunday.
 You think that If he became a star his later days would be unhap. py because he would always be pin ing for that thrill which comes and goes with the llmelight? Perhaps.
 Most of the old Orioles are gone now but memory fingers on so per slstently that they still must be re- called as one of the greatest of all teams. So the man who had been their manager might well look back wistfully upon those glories that have gone. Let IL see again.
 Years after the team had been scattered the citizens of Baltimore were planning some new parks.
 They called upon an elderly gen tleman who was busily engaged in building up a worthwhile business. Now far more residents of Baltimore think more often and more grate- fully of the Edward Hanlon who did so ably as president of the park board than of the same younger Ned Hanlon who led the Orioles.
 Let us try once more. To suc- ceed upon the diamond you must recognize oppo ortunity when 1t comes along. Disregard those bits of fic- ton which dot the magazines. The real truth is that few players have become stars through some combi. nation of sheer strength and awk. wardness. The game is one in which you must strive to think faster and more clearly than your opponent or combination of opponents.
 When you develop such qualities before an audience that Is quick to applaud or to condemn haven't you built up something in you that is going to serve we'll whatever you may tackle later?
 Think 1t over, Mir. -. Or bet.

WHEN THE DEVIL INVENTED
 WORRY

"ERoM the loss of tooth to
 | that of mistress, there's no pang that is not bearable. The ap- prehension Is much more cruel than the certainty; and we make up our minds to the misfortune when 'tis irremediable, part with the tor mentor, and humble our crust on t'Other side of the jaws"
 In that Jit of philosophy from Thackeray is one of the strongest indictments ever written on the subject of worry; and its foolish ness and uselessness
 True, eating on the other side of the jaw is not nearly so bad as the anticipation of 1t, as worrying about having to do it! Out of fear of violence from my readers l shall not mention the fact that the neces- sity to eat in even little corner of the jaw could not possibly be so destructive of health and nerves as worrying about it. Oh, no, wouldn't mention that My readers know it. It's Thackeray's point that 1t isn't even so unpleasant as thinking about 1t in advance-that Is new!
 Can we improve on Thackeray? No, but we can add this thought, that while it's silly enough to lose sleep worrying about tooth that's got to come out anyway, it's abso- lutely insane to worry about losing a tooth that after all may never have to come out!
 And that's the heaviest burden of most of our worries, isn't 1.-the misfortunes that never do occur! That's what worry is for, isn't it?- that's what the devil invented 1t for-to give US bald heads and acid stomachs and lined faces and jumpy nerves over something that never does happen!

Life Is What
 You Make It, Even in Sport

IT IS rule of mine that letters must be answered promptly and yet the one postmarked from small West Virginia town has been here for almost a wek. That Is because But enough of such stalling.
 Dear Mir. -: It was nice of you to pick me out from the midst of all those other sports writers whose stories you read while trying to find some one from whom to obtain support. Yet, at the start, may as we'll tell you that am going to fail you.
 Perhaps you are right In saying that your son has had too good an education to waste himself upon professional baseball. That would depend largely upon whether he has the ability to reach the major leagues quickly and to stay there for at least five years.
 If he can make that grade then think that you are wrong in belev- ing that he will spend the rest of his life regretting lost business op- portunities. Let us see.
 The oldest living former National league player resides in Boston. He is past eighty and it has been more than 40 years once he ended his ac- tive days as one of the greatest of all stars. Has George Wright spent all those seasons thinking of the past and regretting opportunities that were lost by playing baseball?
 Not a bit of 1t. Like A. c. Spald- ing, another great player of another day, his real fortune was achieved away from the diamond and yet be- cause of 1t. What he might have become without baseball I do not know, but I do know that lessons learned in front of wildly excited crowds In those old wooden stands were invaluable to both men later while they built up businesses that yielded them fortunes.
 You say that you would not care for him to travel around with a sporting crowd. Honestly, MT. -, should not worry about that. There are all kinds of definitions of sporting and so let us look at an. other side of it.

''Too Many Bosses 1 Is Baseball Nemesis a

Such confusion of purpose Is noth- ing new in this com bination of sport and business that is baseball. For instance, there are the White Soy. When Charles Comiskey was In his prime the team made money and won pennants. As he bcame older he slipped into mingling of un. certainty and stubbornness that caused him to lean too heavily upon poorly equipped volunteer advisers. For years then, and after his death, the White Sox neither made money nor won pennants. Now happy understanding between field and of flee Is bringing success again.
 There also are the Giants. For years McGraw was the supreme au. thority and the club was one of basebalps grandest successes. Then some of the players discovered that it was perhaps not impossible to go over the "Old Mans" head. The next pennant was won when Bill Terry, who would not accept the job until granted full and undivided con trol, had become manager.
 In mentioning this have no de, sire to be unkind to the various gen. tlemen who have devoted their years (albeit at salaries considerably more handsome than the results) to the executive end of the game. merely am stating facts that are very well known to any one who ever has poked an inquisitive nose into a major league dngout.
 Probably no club has been In such pitifuI plight this season as the Braves. The prncip pal ownership of this club is invested in two men and bank. The season was sta rted with manager and with the ga mes most gIamorous figure in the lineup as vice president and manager ap. parent. The result was inevitable
 There Is manager who has been bitterly assailed by newspaper men The business mana ger, who talks an excellent game and who takes bows whenever there Is the slight est excuse for them, is a pal of the press. This does not necessa rily mean that Walter Johnson and Billy Evans do not function in perfect ac. cord. The Yankees ruled by Ed Bar row and the Tigers directed by Mickey Cochrane are, though, some what out in front of the pre-sea son favorites.
