The Athletics had only two pitchers in

Thli morning was another halt holiday for

The sons that 1 tove the beat;
I send them to you when I know they are
due
And ready to meet the test;
I send you my sons, but it isn't a g(ft;
It's merely a loan, or when
They have served out their day of "pro
motion and pay"
They come to my arms again.
For they all come back to their mother,
However the die is cast;
They pother the cheers of the radiant
years
But tho bush is their home at last.
I reach and enfold them, I make them and
and mold them,
By fields of the East and the West;
And then at the time of their ball playing
prima
You take them away from my breast;
you give them acclaim at the height of
their fame.
In the glow of their youth but when
They are broken and done and their glory
Is spun
They come to my arms again.
For they all come back to their mother,
However the die is cast;
They gather the cheers of the rodlanf
years
But the bush is their home at last.

Tho Tiger pitcher calls In Catchcr
Schmldt and tells him to get set for a
low strike around the knees. He then
breaks one over that Schulto misses' a
foot for the third strike. But the game
wasn't quite over. Tho ball strikes
Schmidt's glove, caroms oft to tho grand
stand and two Cubs score, tlelng up the
contest. The Tiger Pitcher had a pretty
right to show a streak of temper. But
what he did was to look at Schmidt and
tell him to keep his head up and keep on
fighting. And when he said it he smiled.
And he kept on smiling as he retired the
aide and fought on to a 12-lnnlng draw.
Tho pitcher's name, L. It. H., was Wild
BUI Donovan, Wasn't that a fair enough
test In which to Judge tho sincerity and
quality of a smile? Or does he have to
have his head shot off first?
You might say that tho occasion was no
time to smllo. On the contrary. If Dono
van had broken or gone Into tho air or
lost his temper Schmidt and the rest of
mo ciuo wouici nave likely caved In. As

man stood In the box, ready to take tho
break of tho gamo as it camo to him
without a quiver. And a man game
enough to smllo under a break of that
sort Isn't likely to curl up because his
ball club happens to lose a few tough
games.
Mentioning No Names
There was a certain golfer
Who missed, a little putt;

But I'll bet you forty beers
He'll never make a golfer

' Penrt and Spring Practice
We can't exactly get the hitch of Penn'
idea at giving up spring football practice.
Football is now a matter of skill at
handling and passing the ball, as much
as it la a matter of anything else. And
this skill can only be developed by hard
practjee, which will require far moro
tlmo than any coach can find from Sep.
