Man that is born of woman is
small potatoes and few in a hill
He goeth forth in the morning OF
life vainly Boosting of what he is
about to accomplish, but is cut down
like the grass and cast into the oven
I do not know who said that the
first time but I know it applies to
me and many other poor, deluded
creatures. I misspent the first six
ty years of my wasted life worrying
about the women only to find out
that women do not want any one to
worry about them. But if a man
did only things that some woman
didn't want him to what lone
some life he would lead. He just as
we'll sit in the shade of a tree and
tickle himself under the chin with
a sand burr. Ever since I can re-
member some woman has been tell
ing me to "quit," don't" or STOP
and yet have managed to live this
long. The first hundred years I
worried about all women collective
ly. About their conduct, their gen.
eral welfare, their health and their
morals. Then was lucky enough
to find one who was willing to take
a lie time job working for her
board and worried about her ex-
clusively for while. And when our
first child was born it was a girl and
then my real worries began. Rails
ing family of girls surely puts the
'B" on a man, and no one who
has never tried this greatest of all
American indoor sports can fully un-
derstand the rest of this article be-
cause there are no words to des-
cribe the thoughts that go through
a mans head from he time his first
daughter is born until the last one
is married and in a home of her
own.

all that has gone before is just the
insane wanderings of a half baked
mind recorded just to make you

handkerchief handy for here Is how
it starts. My first four children were
girls and If that isn't enough to
worry a sensitive high strung man
then I cannot imagine what kind
of torture you would prescribe for
a poor devil who never did a wrong
thing in his life.
Can you imagine an ignorant
roughneck like me in the reception
room Of the maternity hospital for
the first awaiting the age old, ever

proudest father in the world. I am
jumpy and nervous from loss of
sleep and abstinence from tobacco.
I am amazed at the granduer of the
place because the barest hospital

walls, its upholstered chairs, its

palace when compared with q
homestead shack.
I am alert with anticipation as

MANY HOLDOUTS
IN CUBS RANKS

CHICAGO, Jan. "a GN.S0.-A
reported rash of unsigned con.
tracts in the return mail was re-
garded today as the forerunner of
a holdout epidemic in the ranks of
the Chicago Cubs.
Although official information
was lacking, word leaked out that
several of the players had felt the
salary terms offered by the club
for 1889 were unsatisfactory.
Although the Cubs won the Ma
tional League pennant with a final
squirt, Cub officials are said to
have been disgruntled with the
teams weak showing against the
Yankees in the World Series.
Beside a shift in the team line
up, which has already brought
several new faces to the North
Side. reprisals against lack-luster
players were said to have taken
the form of pay slashes.
Manager Gabby Hartnett, Pitch.
ers Bill Lee and Dizzy Dean have
already signed for the coming sea-
son, but the big majority of the
team have yet to come into the
fold.
The only ones signed and re,

Emil Dutch" Leonard will
pitch for the Nationals this sea.
son. His signed contract arrived
at club headquarters today in the
early mail. Leonard will report
at Orlando with the veteran
pitchers, who are scheduled to
arrive at the training base on or
about February IS. With Leonard
accepting terms for the coming
season, 20 Nationals, including
the rookie" group that will start
cavorting on February /, are lined
up for action.
Ken Chase and Joe Krakauskas
will report with the first group,
Krakauskas to start working i'm.
mediately on his control and
Chase to start slowly and build
up his speed. Harry Kelley, the
veteran Highlander will go to
Hot Springs, Ark, to boil out and
prepare for the season. So, with
Leonard in line, the Mats have
four hurlers who were with the
team last year. And, incidentally,
he rounds out the trio of "hopes"
who opened the season of '38. The
other two, of course, were Krakky
and Chase.
FEW HOLDOUTS ANTICIPATED
There is little doubt that the
other pitchers will wheel into line
before long-those who may open
the '39 season. None of them has
the slightest reason to hold out,
regardless Of what terms Griff Of.
fered them. They're luck to be
north Of the Three-I League.
Leonard won IL games and lost
IS, which was fair enough. He
failed to win against the leading
teams, and set the foundation Of
his record on victories scored over
the Athletics and the Browns. He
scored over the Athletics twice and
over the Browns three times.
BEAT TELLER IN CLASSIC
Although Leonard failed to win
for the leaders, he lost a couple
of tough luck encounters by one
run. More often than not the lack
of timely hit, or an unfortunate
error behind would make the diff.
ference between victory and de-
feat. Leonard's greatest feat Of the
season was a 13 inning victory
over Bobby Feller, in which the
Dutchman gave no passes.
Leonard's knuckle ball gave him
almost as much worry as it gave
the opposition. The batters had
trouble hitting it, and the catch
ers were in difficulty trying to
catch it. Rick Ferrell and the
others were whacked on the fin.
gers time and time again as tho
ball danced in butterfly flight

Dutch sent along the usual note
