BY stan correspondent OF The Star.
ORLANDO. Fla, March l4.-The
Mats first inkling of what they must
face in the American League this
year is due tomorrow. With one
Grapefruit League victory to their
credit-a 5-to-4 decision over the
New York Giants-they will make
their longest within-the-Stat Jump
and meet the Cleveland Indians in
the new training camp of the Tribe
in Fort Myers.
The game with the Tribe Is note
worthy in more ways than one.
President Clark Griffith, for in
stance, thinks he has a first division
team in training here and Manager
Bucky Harris already has called the
1910 Mats his best Washington team
since 1925. 1t will be interesting to
see how this club compares with
the Indians, a perennial first division
club, which in some quarters is rated
as sufficiently improved to give the
Yankees brisk fight this season.
Too, there is the item of Out
fielder George Cases throwing arm.
For the last three days Case has
been trying the hipper he injured
last summer to such an extent that
he spent the final three weeks on
the bench. George has pronounced
the arm well enough to try in a
game but whether it is strong
enough to permit him to play center
field, according to plans, remains to
be seen.
Test for Jacobs, Wynn.
Finally, the Mats first game with
an American League foe is likely to
throw some further light on the
pitching situation. Both Bucky
Jacobs and Early Wynn, a pair of
young right-handers who have been
knocking around camp for the. last

ONE DAY AT
A TIME
BY CHARLES SELzLL

Many OF US are troubled because
We are uncertain OF what may hap
pen to us during the coming year
and We declare that we'd give any
thing TO know what the new year
will bring to us.
Suppose you could have your
wish.
Suppose you knew everything
that was going 10 happen to you
tomorrow, what fearfully stupid
day u would be. And think OF a
year of such days.
Suppose you knew all the charms
of your friends wouldn't they sud
denly take drop in your inter
est? II is because you discover new
things about them every day that
holds them to you
Suppose YOU resolved never TO en-
gage in any occupation until YOU
knew all It's laws and principles OF
operation you'd never make a
start. because nobody knows an
about them. And so no one ever
will.
As YOU look back upon your life.
YOU will see that most OF your er-
rors were due To the fact that new
conditions had developed that YOU
ala not knew about. You had 10
learn them. and you could make
your discoveries only through ex-
perience. And many OF us learn
through the mistakes We have
made. Experience in one OF LIES

none OF US can keep ahead OF II
There is always so much more 10
be learned, even by the wisest OF us
Ihls is what makes life a great
adventure. A life that holds no sur-
prlses would be a very dull expert
cnce.
And so. let's face the new wear
with confidence.
Anyway-here's a message that
VIII give new hope and courage for
every day throughout the wear:
Tho world Is wide
In lime and tide.
And-Cod Is Guide

Who does his best.

Where Dwell Thy Thoughts?
By Fred Hart Williams

Where dwell thy thoughts this Christmas morn?
With The Child in the owly manger born?
Or here. mid The storm and stress Of life,
Wear, and sad with its ceaseless strife?
Where dwell thy thoughts this holy morn?
With Him who was so humhly born?
Dwell they upon His simple lowly birth
Or on vain and transient things of earth?
Where dwell thy thoughts this winter morn?
With the Christ IN the lowly manager born
Seeking there in silent meditation
The sublimity Of the souls divine creation?

II ct,u,L alter the first Of the year.
Some told of .rumors about camp
of what is in store for them in the
coming months. Included in these
was one that the soldiers might be
sent to South America or to Puerto
Rico u some other point outside OF
continental United States, for train
ing or for guard duty.
Most of the soldiers at Fort jack
son are National Guardsmen, that
being specially true Of those from
this county. Only four cOnscripts
have so far been furnished by Vance
county in the draft.
Nearly all officers in units from
this county have been here for the
holidays. Some have returned and
remain few days at camp,
then come back for further stay
until New Years day or whereabouts,
when they will return and when all
are required to be back. Captain L.
B. Sturges, of Company c, infan-
try unit, said around eighty per cent
of his men were granted Christmas
leaves to spend the holidays with
their families at home. That was
about true also of men in the medi-
cal regiment, of which Colonel
Hodge A. Newell, of Henderson, is IN
command.
More intensive field work, includ-
