"A Place in the Sun"
Eomeiohere south of the sleet and snow.
Out of the North where the raw winds
Olow, 0
Somewhere south of the snow-crowned
teat
Where the skin peels off fit the mid-day
heat
Where orassles flutter and mashlcs flick,
And the putt goes "cluck" and the drive
goes fJcKcfc"
Where a guv can wallop the-whistling
Pill
Out over the valley and up the hill,
Or sink In a trap to Ms tally neck
And whale away till his score's a
wreck
Where a- Moke can stand on a sun-taked
tee
Or lay one dead for a grand old
"three"
"A. place in the sun" with a sultry
cllmer
Ifs worth a war In the winter time.
Another Debate
Sir: Some days ago you compared
Cobb, Speaker and Veach and ranked
them above Speaker, Hooper nnd
Lewis, for all around value. Some
years oeo Brooklyn had an outfleld
consisting of Keeler, Jones and Sheck
ard. In your opinion did this outfleld
outclaaa the two named above for all
around efllclency? At the same time
the Cincinnati outfleld Included Donlln,
Kelly and Seymour. Was not this
"combination as pood as either of the
present-day outfits? When they met,
wasn't this a far Breater affgresatlon
than the Detroit-Boston combination?
OLD FAN.
Only they never met. Keeler, Jones
and Sheckard were with Brooklyn only
In 1800. Keeler, Donlln and Seymour
were with Cincinnati In 1902.
SClie Winning- Outfield
Jones, Keeler and Sheckard had
eomethlns' on Cobb, Crawford and
Veach possibly, for while Keeler and
J Sheckard at their best wero. nip and
tuck with Cobb and Crawford, Veach
isn't a. Fielder Jones.
The best all-around outfleld that
-cluved was nrobabhr the Keeler.
Kelly, Brodte combination In Baltimore
back around 189 .." They were all three
good outfielders, and offensively, as hit
''wad run makers, they have nover been
' fjlled.
- This) great trio for threo seasons
established a mark that ha never been
siHJroached in the broad, winding- his
to? of the sport. A brief slant at

Change in Waiver System,
NEW YORK, Feb. 10. When tho Na
tional League moguls reassembled this

A Change, Anyhow
From all the stuff, the wordy guff,
The Feds, with deep duplicity,
Have shot across of Neivark's hope
Of getting in the league,
We'll make a bet the town will get
Borne wonderful publicity
Before the experts can the dope
Because of sheer fatigue.
The Idea of the change headline be
ing that If Newark exudes enough stuff
about tho probability of a Fed team
going there, we -won't hear so much
about tho ubiquitous Yanks.
The Stadium Again
It's gottlng rather late If those be

build It for the world's series. If they
don't hurry up we'll begin to suspect
they do not expect Mister Baker's Phil

Oh, Surely
The attitude of tho man who has

rewards of golf are more certain than
those of the shell game.
