CAKOLAN A OTIIRR rhiiadclpliia boy is go- ing into the big leagues. William 11. Ilacflner, a Quaker City product, has returned bis signed con tract to the Pittsburgh National Club and has agreed to catcli for George Gibson and his boys next jcar. Gihson is going nfter mnskmen nnd already has live under contiact. The one time star receiver of the National League believes that a strong catching department is necessary if any team hopes to succeed. In signing Hneffner. Gibson lias made no mistake. This boy lias been starring in semiprofessional circles for the lat sit jears. He now is only twentj -four j cars of age and playing major league ball Gibson is aware of the worth of IlaeiTner. Through Iirick Mclnnis. brother of Stuffy, Gibson first learned of Hill. Mclnnis wns in the Interna tional League, Gibson was manager of the Toronto club and through continual boosting, Gibson was satiBfied that Ilacffner must possess a little class. Murray Scouts During Hie Vineland-Millvillo cham pionship series last fall, Hilly Murray, former Phil manngcr and now ecout for the Pirates, was assigned to look over Hneffner, who was catching for Ylnelnnd. Murray saw the five games and was so much impressed that he not only recommended Haeffner, but directed Gibson to tender a eontrnct to Itay Steinnder, n Viueland boy, who twirled ills team to four victories oer such pitchers as .Toe Hush, Hob Shawkey, Duvo Dnnfortb nnd .Ting Johnson. At the same time Stcinader managed to bilence the bats of such plajcrs as George Burns, Dave Bancroft, Wnlly Pipp. Cy Peikins, Wliitey Wilt, Wally Schang and Chief Homier. This col lection lind been imported to assist Milt ville, but failed. Played With Chester Ilacffner got bis start with the en graving department team of a local morning paper. Hn looked so good that he was bigned by Frank Potb to work for the Chester Delaware County Leaguo nine. Frank linker was playing in the same league at the time. During bis spare moments- Hneffner caught for the pur chasing department of the Pennsylvania Itnilroad. The oung catcher next wns snared bv Connie Mark to assist in waimiug up the Mack pitchers. He never earned n lcgular berth. Hill was a member of the Fourth Naval District team that won the divisional championship. He caught Hob Shawkey and Jing Johnson.

WANDERERS REACH SEMIFINAL ROUND "I THINK I'LL LEA VE IT ALONE THIS YEAR AT $17 Once You're Mounted on Water Wagon and Got a Start There Isn't a Chance to Jump Off in 1920, Says Village Drunkard By GltANTLAND KICI3 (CopvrtoM, lost, all riohta reserved) A FEW NE1V YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS Mr. J. Average Citizen Jf prices mount much higher And I still get the hook, I'll live without a fire ' And do toithout a cook. And though I may not carol '" Through any cheerful song, I'll borrow mo a barrel, And somehow roll along. Vm fond of food and raiment, Hut better than a slave I'll duck tho crushing payment And dig mc up a cave. If no one puts a dress on, Nor has the table set, We'll teach these birds a lesson Which ihey won't soon forget. Kaiser Bill "Just say for1 mc," said Kaiser Bill, "If I should get my job of old, ' And do fool things, as kaisers tot'U, In spite of their diviner mold; Though Ludcndorffs should slip me guile And Bethmann-Hollwegs lead me far, I'll think it over quito a while Before I start another war. "Though I may tee war torches bum lFAere ancient dreams arc once more spun, And though I havo another yearn To bag a placo within the sun; And though the cards are running well And I may stand to win a lot, I'll ponder it for quito a spell Before I crank another pot." The Village Drunkard I have mounted The Wagon and left my load For many a one-day ride; Till Tho Cart struck a bump on the narrow road And jostled me over the side. But now there's a cage on the good old cart All set for the roughest bump, And once you have mounted and gotten a start There's never a chance io jump. I could take If or leave it alone, old dear, But now there's a new retort, , For I think that I'll leave it alotio this year At seventeen dollars a quart. Uncle Sam ' Like a house dog, over petted, I have fussed and fumeit and fretted, When I ought io havo been rolling up my sleeves; I havo ambled and I've rambled, And I've overspent and gambled With the money flowing out like autumn leaves. I have done my share of balking, And of arguing and talking, Where I should have settled down upon the job, . I hate been too simple-minded, And perhaps a trifle blinded, Where I should have run the bases like a Cobb. I havo let the Bolsheviki And some others, just as trioky, Tale me by the collar with a jerk; But I've framed a resolution That will bring in restitution " you want io stick around you've got to work." The Golfer I am rcsolvcd.that though I die Or break my neck wherein I try, That I shall keep my silly cue Xfpon the ball; Though bunkers yawn and traps arc deep, Or grass is high and slopes are steep, I shall not take a single peep, No, not at all, I have resolved to treat my bean As if it were a fixed machine, Adjusted to the ancient green, Throughout the swing; Nor lift my eager head until Beyond some deep ravine or hill My club has soaked the foolish pill And made it sing. The Smoker I've smoked too much, beyond a doubt; This year I've planned to out it out; My head is heavy, and my mouth Tastes like an oil well in tho South; My nerves are jumpy and by night I seldom have an appetite; I've smoked too much no doubt of thai And so I'll leave the old weed flat. And save a bit of change at that. Basketball Player Hurt Gloucester City, X. J Dec. 29.
