The Team of Other Days
(A reverlo by Colonel Cornelius JIc-
Gilllcuddy in collaboration with Colonel
Itudyard Kipling.)
Beneath the arawl stand's drifting ahado
When htts 1coln to flu,
I ait me down to watch, alasl
Another hall game die;
"With Hood-red eyes I see the score
Against tho sunset's ha:c
Ealnted Diana! Olve me tack
The Team of Other Days,
Ah! shades of Collins and The Chief,
Of Coombs and Vddle Plank,
Of Raker's smash across the field
Beyond the distant lank;
When, game by game, iia ripjied the
race
Along remembered xcays,
Where siege guns loomed the glory of
The Team of Other Days,
Bftt Collins' clout has vanished now
And Bender's day ts done;
No more the smash from Baker's lat
Drives in the winning run;
No' moro the hook from Eddie's curve
Atpolf iy 7ittrr.ee. call.
No Collins tears around the path
As Home-Run slams the ball.
Olare down, Fanatic, fron your perch,
And lid the Itooter roar.
While down the field we charge in vain
To meet the winning score;
But when the battle dust has cleared
Across the star-siccpl haze.
My pipe brings lack the Old Machine
The Team of Other Days,
Add famous aayipgs by Frank Baker;
"Tho pIoV Is mightier than the bat."
Not a Word
A Harvard oaraman of tho old days,
Who fairly c1ojs to such dope as
there Is, Informs us that Harvard will

But ao mention was, made as to what

Up to tho Pitching
Connlo Mack's 1915 fate Is now strict
ly up to his pitchers. For four seasons
his machine has batted Its way
through, savlner some erratic pitching
'by a fusillade of swats at the crucial
epoch.
BuC unless Baker comes back and
renounces the succulent potato and the
savory 'cabbage, Mack must tighten
his pitching defensive at least 40 per
cent, to stick around the happy hunt
Ins grounds of old, Bressler, Shawkey,
Bush, Pennock and Wyckoff must
come through as James; Itudolph and
Tyler did for the Braves or there will
bo no midsummer Jubilee above the
spiked sward of Shlbe Park for some
tlmo to come
ghort Putts
Many a short missed putt wrecks
the Bood work of a lone drive.
He that controlleth his mashle Is
greater than; he that taketh a city; but
he that elnketh a lone putt Is an abom
ination In tho sight of hta opponent.
Full many a putt of purest ray serene
The dufftr makes around the nlne-
teenth hole.
Full many a pitch that lands upon the

Until tho larkeep's gathered in hi
roll.
What Wo Are .Hooting- For?

GOLFERS' AFTERMATH
Durtnr tho last two years the army of local
Soiling enthustasta has been swelled by tha art.
Itlon of a larse number of vouns men And
women. Tho rapid rise In popularity of golf
lo no mora remarkable than tha Increasing
appeal Ic la making to the ounger generi
tlon. No matter how old a man Is ha likes
to mingle with the young men and young
women, and especial. Is this ao In a game
vi hers age and experience, often has tha call on
youth and energy. Wa believe that the In.
creaalnr Interest shown by the ladles should
bo attributed to the fact that the joung girl
of today likes to test hsr skill In athletics
against that of tha opposite sex,
Fashtona and phenomena In golfing methods
ara in constant process of slow transition, re
marked a prominent golfer tha other day. Con
tlnulng. ha expressed tha opinion that wa had
at length reached tha lima when tha flat awing
bad gone completely out of vogue at any rate,
among nrst-class golfers. The flat swing may
be said lo have enjoyed Its heyday during
tha period when St. Andrews was hold to stanl
for everything good In connection with tha
game. That delightful city In Kifesblra Is
allll a shrlna hallowed by Its associations, still
a perfect lilace for tha holiday In tha sprlnr
or the autumn, but by tha golfers of a,
practical age It la considered a bit old fash
ionedand all the mora likable for that rea
son. When In tha 'DOs courses began to
appear In profusion In tha Houth. they were
made to consist of 18 holes (or half that num
ber), simply becauao St. Andrews had 18, and
Bt. Andrews, was tha model for everybody.

of next season. Well, that la
all bunk and Johnny will be in there
Just as usual. Ho la now nt Camden,

and when he left Troy last week wa$
heavier than he has been for several

Will History Repeat Itself?
That Is the question. Will Newark
prove another "Baltimore" to the In
ternational League? President Gtlmore,
of the Federal League, announces posi
tively that he will transfer the Kansas
City franchise to Newark. That means
another fight between the Feds and the
Internationals. In Baltimore last sea
son the Feds whipped Jack Punn's Ori
oles to a finish. In fact, they ran them
out of the city, Jack had to transfer
his club, after selling the cream of the
t.eam. to Richmond, Va, All of which
revives the. question t "Will the Feds
ever enter West Philadelphia as they
plan to do some day?"
