He Got the Girl

A YOUNG Frenchman, poor but am

daughter of a certain gentleman of
wealth. He consulted lawyer friend
as to how this might be accomplished

gentleman's house next Wednesday,"
the lawyer said. Gust leave the matter
in my hands. But, first, let me ask you
question: Would you suffer anyone to
cut off your nose if he would give you
hundred thousand francs ?"
"Of course not" the poor young
man replied.
Every WE'LL" said the attorney.
That's all wanted to know"
At the dinner, the lawyer adroitly
brought up the subject of the poverty
stricken young sutton.
"By the way" said the rich host,
"can you tell whether that young man
has any money!"
ayes, can," said the lawyer. II
understand he has no ready cash at
present, but also know for a certainty
that he has at least one asset for which
he has been offered, and for which he
has refused a hundred thousan
francs"
The young man got the girl-with
handsome dowry.

Neck Pains

Brown was a very light sleeper. One
night he was obliged to stop at
small hotel and, after much trouble,
finally succeeded in getting to sleep.
Two hours later came a loud knocking
on his door.
"What's the matter?" he asked
sleepily.

came boys voice.
"Well, let it stay there. 1t can wait

manded.

THERE seems to be general
opinion that the opening of q
big-league season is an interesting
item to only 10 cities in which the
16 clubs are parked. Nothing could
be farther off the track of truth.
The 16 big-league teams are large
y made up of ballplayers from the
hamlets and the villages of the coun-
try who take deep pride in the ex-
ploits of native son. The big
league cities are only the spectators.
They rarely contribute any of the
talent needed to carry on the show.
Here are few examples: Ewell
Blackwell from San Dimas, Calf;
Phil Cavaretta, Wilmette, ILL.,; Bill
Nicholson, Chesterton, Md; Larry
Jansen, Forest Grove, Ore; Harry
Walker, Leeds, Ala; Bob Teller, Van
Meter, Iowa; George Kell, Swifton,
Ark; Phil Marchedon, Penetang,
Ont; Bill Johnson, Montclair, N. j.;
Joe DiMaggio, Dom DiMaggio, Mar
tinez, Calf, and Bobby Doerr from
ulane, Ore.
After all, Ty Cobb came from
Royston, Ca; Mathewson from Fac
toryville, Pa; Lajoie from Woon-
socket, Cy Young and Alexander
from outposts in Ohio and Nebraska.
Baseball is a small-town game
village enterprise. There is little
room for sandlots in the big cities.
The cities only supply the spec
tators. They haven't time to bother
about the kids who, in the main,
can live or die unless they hap
pen to be lucky enough to live
under the rule of Commissioner
Wallander of New York, who Is
vitality interested in their careers.
There are other Commissioner Wal
landers now - but not enough Of
them.
In the last few years, baseball
has taken on a tremendous lift. It
broke all attendance records in 1915.
1t broke these records again in 1947.
1t is my belief the old game will set
new cluster of marks in 1913.
This season, if one can judge from
the spring hullabaloo should be base
balls all-time record year as far as
attendance goes. The two leagues
should pass the 20 million mark with
something to spare. Which finds us
hailing the Charley Ebbets of 80
years ago as he remarked: Base
ball is in its infancy"

Pennal,t Predictions

AMERICAN LEAGUE
No. l: New York Yankees.
No. 2: Boston Red Sox.
No. 3: Detroit Tigers.
No. 4: Cleveland Indians.
No. S: Philadelphia Athletics.
No. 6: Browns, White Sox and
Senators, neck and neck, for last
place.
Under the sound leadership OF
Bucky Harris, the Yankees are
picked to repeat for one solid reason
they look to be the most solid all
around team in the race.
Early buds and blossoms are far
cry from the yellow and crimson
leaves of late September, so in max
ing a selection one must gamble with
fate and the fortunes of war, the
breaks of the game, through the five
and half months beyond.
The Red Sox are as good as the
Yankees, perhaps shade better, up
to the important matter of pitching
and strong reserves.
With their excellent pitching, the
Tigers might win through the right
and left arms Steve O'Neil can throw
against the enemy. But the Tigers
have neither an infield nor an out
field to match either the Yankees
or the Red Sox.
Cleveland's improved Indians still
belong in fourth place as Connie
Mack's Athletics have a death grip
on the top of the second division.
The White Sox, Senators and
Browns are strictly minor league
clubs who have no place in big
league.
They are out to live or make
money on the four strong clubs
where, on their own, they couldn't
draw 300 thousand people. They are
the leagues chisclers. They should
offer a spectacular battle for last
place in the dizzy dip to the subway
title. So we can forget about them
as busy broom-men sweep away the
debris.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
No. 1: St. Louis Cardinals.
No. 2: Brooklyn Dodgers.
No. 3: Boston Braves.
No. a: New York Giants.
No. S: Cincinnati Reds.
No. 6: Pittsburgh Pirates.
No. Z: Chicago Cubs.
No. 8: Philadelphia Phillies.
This is a very different picture
from the American league layout.
1t will be a much better and much
tighter race from top to bottom.
There certainly should be a much
closer scramble among the Cardi-
mails, Dodgers and Braves than the
younger league can give you.
In picking the Cardinals over the
Dodgers and Braves, one has to
gamble with fate kind of fate
that will leave most of Eddie Dyer's
veteran athletes intact.
The Cardinals, in their first-line
strength, have the best team in their
league, but their reserves are weak
and thin. They can afford few re-
verses. Their catching is none too
hot. But they have pitching staff
that should be well ahead Of all
others-Dickson, Munger, Brecheen,
Pollet, Hearn, Brazle and at least
two others who can win a lot Of
games.

the visit was nothing more than
a casual call, and that he, Bill
Snow, was simply another unob-
trusive figure in the procession
of her past.
HE WAS more bewildered than
angry at the discovery that his
fifteen years of struggle and
money-making did not impress
her. 1t would take time to evict
the slender image from his mind

crunch the gravel, he raised his

years. He glanced DULY at his
