THE CUB FAN'S DIIISAM
"Last night," he said, with shining eyes,
"I dreamed that Chance was back;
I dreamed that Steiny's wallop
Once more led the o'd attack;
I seemed to see Joe Tinker make
An cldtlme Tinker aP ear >
And hear J. lOvers barking
In the shaking umP' re 3 ear;
And, like a dream o* heaven,
i Where the featlier e <J angels sing,
I heard the shoots of Brownie
Hit the mitt of johnnie Kling.
"1 cheered for Circus Solly
As he cracked one o n l ' le nose;
I saw old Jimmy
Pick a wallop from , 3 * oe ® :
And with the oldtim e nash of speed,
Agility and science.
We mauled the Phill ies a Pulp
And stamped upon t ® Giants.
He closed his eyes in retrospect
He sighed with i o >'— a " d t he "—
I kindly shot him th r ° ue heart
Before he woke ag a,n *
Which is no part of a knock on Mitchell, the new Cub pennant
clip* Mitchell lias all the qualities of which fine leaders are made. But
many a summer day will drift hazily a lon f before Cub fans will ever see
another such machine—Chance, Tinke 1 '- Fvers, Stelnfeldt, felieckard, Schulte,
Ilofrnan, Kling, Brown, Overall, Pfelste 1 once every twenty years is a big
average for such a parade.
The Four rentet
Which reminds us that a certain has remained unanswered for sev
eral days. The query, from one of th°! smaller 1< an provinces, desires to
know the four greatest hall clubs of th e laat twenty years. There are six
clubs that might well figure in such a debate the Baltimore Orioles of 1894;
the Boston Nationals of 1897, the pmfburgh club of 1902 the New York
Giants of 1905, the Chicago Cubs of 1?®. >'e Philadelphia Athletics of 1911.
Two of these clubs can be entered w' 1 ' 10 " 1 an y further debate the Cubs
and Athletics—machines good enough t° win wo world series each and to bag
four pennants in five years.
The next club in line is the Bosto 11 club of 1898—the club that had for
an infield Tenney, Lowe, Long and Col*' ns - an< * ' or an outfield, Hugh Duffy,
Billy Hamilton and Chick Stall!—seve" who batted between .314 and
.359—with Bergen back of the bat an 1 * Kid Nichols in the box.
Pittsburgh had a great club in 1 902 . with Chesbro, Tannehllle, Phil
lipe and in the box; with Bran s^ Richie, Wagner and Leach for
an infield, and with Clarke, Beaumont anil Davis for the outfield. The Giants
of 19ftf> were a great machine, with M a " iewson Bresnahan and oth
ers. But it would be hard to leave o" l ' le °' c ' Orioles McGraw, Jennings,
Kelley, Keeler, Brodle, Wilbert Hobl nson > Ban Brouthers other old
stars who made up one of the greatest machines of all times. So our vote
would be, in temporal order: Baltimo re - 1894; Boston, 1898; Chicago, 1906;
Philadelphia, 1911.
The New Flrlla
There has been a general impress* oo abroad that while Florida can
grow sand in luxuriant quantities, it s production of grass is well below par.
That was true of the old Flurid a — but not of the new. Writing from
Deland, Fla., Colonel W. B. Hanna, the golf wanderer, advises as follows:
•i have played, among others, these courses—Pinehurst, Oakley, Woodland,
Cobl) Creek, Ardsley. Garden City, Dunwoodie, Wheaton, Skokie, Glen Echo,
Kansas City. Dallas, Houston, Marlin, Macon, East Lake, Englewood, Or
mond, Colombo, Salisbury, Cincinnati and others, but the greens at Deland
—they are grass—are the best I ever saw —fast and true." Florida, with
good grass greens established, will soon be just one vast course. It would
not be surprising to see the state's namo soon changed to Golforia, or New
Scotland.
The Croesus I.lmlt
Though John D. has his share of kale
He still pursues the dough;
For there Is still one last dream left
Beyond the afterglow;
For he will be content to quit
When he has, in his sight,
Enough to make the purse up for
A Willard-Fulton fight.
Records ami Such
In looking through the records we see this:
Tom Cowler, knocked out by Jack Dillon—two rounds.
Charles Weinert, knocked out by Jack Dillon—two rounds.
Dillon, it is admitted, would be a joke for a Willard. But what is it that
makes Fulton eligible for a Willard controversy? Precisely this: The fact
that 110 knocked out Tom Cowler and Charlie Weinert in two founds each.
is a quetir fish in a funny sea. The bulk of it takes you where you
want to go, and- nowhere else.
Forced Marches
There Is quite a difference In the psychology of getting ready for some
thing and getting ready for nnythlng.
There Is many n system that would fester If the Alibi wasn't permitted
to emerge.
By tossing Fred Fulton into the same pasture with Carl Morris or Frank
Jloran a much better verdict might be obtained as to his outlying qualifica
tions for a Willard ensemble. Mr. Morris is no part of a wonder, but he
can become annoying at times in the way of a passing test.
CENTRAL CHANCES SIMMER;
IMPORTANT LEAGUE GAMES
Reading Plays Here Wednesday Night; Lebanon Is Still a
Strong Penant Contender
I In the Pennsylvania Interscliolas',ie
I League, thirteen games . emain to be
j placed. Reading, Lebanon and Cen
i tral are fervent contenders. Up to
this point, the race has been decidedly
in favor of Central, but with the dis
qualification of two of the players
during the last week, and the re-j
maining Varsity members threatening I
to strike, prospects are discouraging. ,
The disqualification of the two play- |
ers comes at a bad time. Central is j
scheduled to meet Its two rivals, Leb
anon and Reading during the coming
week. The Reading contest is sched- j
uled for the Chestnut street floor Wed- !
nesday night, while the ocal aggrega- j
tlon will journey to Lebanon Satur- j
day night. Central can easily lose the
Lebanon contest, because It is played
away from home. To lose the Read
ing game on the home floor, would
be taking the pennant from this city.
Any one of the three leaders can be
expected to win all their home games
under ordinary circumstances. Fri
day night Reading will go to York.
The White Roses are racing with Tech
for the cellar position.

Moore of Lebanon Leads
Pennsylvania League Stars
Moore, the sensational forward of
the I,ebanon High school Ave, is so
far in advance of the other players in
Central Pennsylvania Scholastic
League, in his scoring averages, that
it is doubtful if he will be headed
this season. In the contest at York
i last Friday night, his excellent work
j boosted his average considerable and
ito date, including all games played,
ihe has averaged 21 points to a game,
jHe has played In seven games. Day
j hoff, of Steelton and Nyquist, of
I Reading, have boosted their average
in recent contests. llarrisburg has
four players in the top ranks. Frank,
of Central, is second to Moore, who
leads the league, with Nyquist. Read
ing, third. Dayhoff, of Steelton, :s
fourth and Harris, of Technical High,
is fifth, with Gregory, of Central right
on his heels.
FIGHT PROMOTERS CONFER
Chicago, Feb. 19. Representa
tives of Jess Willard, champion
heavyweight adn Fred Fulton, of
Rochester, Minn., expect to meet here
to-day to discuss articles of agree
ment for a ten-round bout. It is said
that the articles have been drown up
and that if an agreement is reached,
the fight will take place in New York
City late in March or early in April.

schedule of contests. York and Cen
tral travel to Lebanon to play return
games, and the "Dutch" should be
able to win both. Their final game
will be at Reading, March 16, and on
the result of this game may hinge tlie
pennant of the league. Lebanon
| nosed out Reading by one point on
I the Lebanon floor which Is not much
lof a margin. The Berks lads equaled
| Lebanon's feat of trimming Steelton
jon the latter floor. All things con
sidered, Reading seems to be the fa
vorite.
: In Gregory, Central had the sec
; ond highest scorer in field goals per
jgame. This lad tallied 16 two-point
j ers In the three games in which the
Blue and Gray participated. It is not
likely that Coach McCord can put an
other player in the cage who has this
scoring ability. Fields will also be
missed. The standing of the teams to
! date is as follows:
