Mr Toastmaster and stamns eblidrcr. i'' e.astern Penndjlvaula : I realize how yon feel at ni inabllit to be with you tonight. You feel jnst I do about it absolutely indifferent. I thought for awhile that I might partake of your hospi tality. but I have recently been enjoying a lot o' outdoor exercise and when mealtime comes I'm in no mood for banquets. The last time I was in Philadelphia, I wt entertained in Mr. Frank Poth's room ut the Wal ton and had a stroke of paralysis. When I fluctr. ated on to the train to come back to New York, there was only one vacant scat left in the smoking compartment, but before we had gone a mile I hcrt It all to myself. Most of the other passengers took their dinner on the train. I left mine on It. My next visit to your city will be on the occasion o? the world scries, during President Cox's secona term. The world series of 10'JO was played in Brooklyn and Cleveland. I siy this for the Information of well-known Philadelphia baseball writer, whe, when I saw him in C'evelnnd. s-cmed to tc It, doabt. I know all of you are rejoicing over tha selec tion of William Donovan as manager of the Ph'.U, but perhaps some of you arc unaware of how he came to take the position Last fall. Sir. onovan Yisitcd a famous specialist in New York -nd said "Doctor, my nerves are all shot to pieces." Th doctor, after a careful examination, said: "Wfcar kind of work have you been doing"'" "Managing ball cluba." was William's reply. "Well," said the specialist, ' what you need U a ecmp'e; change." The aame treatment was recommended last Sep ttrobcr to another Pbiladelphlan, William Oleaaon manager of the Chicago White Box. Speaking (: Mr, Gleason. whatever else piople say of his l!Uf champions, everybody must admit that they were rh greatest throwing ball club in history. Respect fully, RINO W. LARDNER.

What is a Philadelphia bank statement against two tallend clubs? The Donblo Tt SOMETHING more than twenty yearn ago Jim Jeffries blew himself to one I of the greatest double tests In ring his- tnry by taking on Tom Hharkey and Jim Corbett a rushing, rugged type and a fast, skillful boxer. Jack Dcmnsey has a chance to re peat this double test by taking on both .Teas Willard and Georges Carpentier in the same year. On the one side he steps out against n towering mammoth, who is none too fast, but who still carries crushing punishment In his wallop. On the other hand, he faces n light, fast, skillful boxer, who can also crock a jawbone with a punch. It would be hard to find two types more different than Willard and Car pentier the giant Knnsan and the agile Frenchman. The difference In weight alone will be close to eighty pounds, or almost as much as Jimmy Wilde weighs. It will be doubly Interesting to see which of these two offers Dempseythe harder battle. To see whether he will have a knot tier evening with the heavy, hard-hitting Willard or the fast, light, hard hitting Frenchman. In both Instances It is well to observe that he Is meeting; an opponent who packs quite a blooie which may lead to trouble. ' Jeff's Assignment JEFFRIES took on quite a varied as signment when he hooked up with Sharkey, Fitrslmmons and Corliett. Sharkey and Corbett gave him greater trouble for the reason that Fltz was then about forty years old and his brit tle hands could no longer stand the pumping. He whaled the padding out of Jeff for several rounds, but Jeff's right and left jaw proved to bo harder than Fltz's ancient knuckles. If Dcmpsey ever trtok on Willard. Carpentier and Wills in n stretch he would move nnt well beyond Jeff's hardest test. He would. In fact, move ' out beyond the test that nnv heavv- weight had ever tried before. But it is no cinch that he will silo by both Wlllnrd and Carpentier and If he docs It is still lest, a lnt.t, ttl. , will ever swap nny gr.y flstle , ." with Wills. 7 c tcPa'U How dear to this heart are the ,ctnt. . last summer "' 1 lr7eJ?r'PMn' n ' maV bej bum or I may be still bm.
