MONDAY EVENING, <& Grant Janet Jlice Copyright, 1917, by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune) Goo Hut. I'd like to be A kid like you, at forty-three— Wrinkled, perhaps, and somewhat gray, But still a kid —a kid at heart — A player on the field of play, Waiting unother season's start — Waiting still for the bell to ring— At forty-three—Oh, gee— For spring—an oldtime spring— Not of the spring the poets sing— The spring of roses and old dreams — Hut, rather, of the Crash and Bing, Of two-base hits and winning teams— The ancient roar That echoes in a jubilee When your long triple ties the score, At forty-three. 11. Oh, boy— if I could only know the joy At forty-three, Of waiting for a spring like that. To take my place out in the game— With spike and glove, with ball and bat. While 30,000 cheered my name— To look Age in the face—and grin The while I held Youth by the hand— To play the game out —lose or win— As only you can understand — You, who still romp amid the clan Of those unborn when you began. 111. At forty-three 1 know where most of us will be— Gouty and old—or fat and slow— Dressed up, without a place to go Along the royal road of play In games that hold a nation's sway; But you, still in the morning's sun, Have only started —just begun— You who, amid the long parade, Saw Matty start and shine and fade— Saw Waddell, Walsh and Chance and Brown Rise up—make good—and then drop down, Forgotten in each lickle town. While j'ou— Well, back at forty-two, No pitchers cheered the season through When you came hulking into view. IV. Some game—we know—• l!ut you, who've seen them come and go, Know how soon Youth runs into Age, As, one by one, the old Bush calls, As great names leave the Sporting Page And even mighty Larry falls. But you, alone, fling to the throne, Not caring that the hour is late. Defying Tide and Time and Fate; Or, maybe, Hans, you must have known That out the highway, mile' by mile, If you had faded, passed or flown The game would not have been worth w hit*. Baseball without Hans Wagner's name?— Who'd care to see that sort of game? A box score minus Wagner's hit?—f We couldn't even think of it! V. Wars drift by— Wars and rumors of war's alarm— But the light still flames in your Batting Eye. And the snap remains in your ancient arm; For Time has beckoned you in vain— Has called you with its yearly plea— But you still hold your ancient reign And stick around—at forty-three— At forty-three—when most of them at thirty-four Have long since faded from the push— Have driven in their final score Or drifted back into the Bush. lint you have never heard Time ce,ll, Too busy out there playing ball. Making a fancy stop or hit Or all the bally rest of it. VI. And so — From all who love the game, Here's to the glory of your fame— Wave on, forever wave, Old Scout. Sale from the Umpire's final "Out'"— You, who have found the fabled fount of Youth, and Aprils-yet-to-be— , You who have spurned Time's .final count To play the game at forty-three. To John Henry Wagner Upon the Occasion of His Forty-third Birthday CENTRAL DROPS INTO THIRD PLACE IN S Two Consecutive Defeats During Last Week Drop Coach McCord's Tossers From First to Third Place; More De feats Expected With Crippled Team; Heading and Leb anon Now Fight For First Honors Two defeats for Central during the past week have dropped the Blue and Gray from first to third position In the Central Pennsylvania basketball league standing. With three more weeks to go with a crippled line-up, more defeats can be expected. As a result the race lias been narrowed down to Heading and Lebanon, with the former having the slight advantage. Reading has been fortunate in most of its contests. Jt has the advantage over Lebanon in that the latter team had to meet Central in this city when Coach McCord's boys were in the pink of condition, and with their full strength li in the line-up. When Heading was here Wednesday night it was a different story. But even at that, Heading had its hands full to nose out the substitute line-up. Reading was also lucky enough to nose out Steelton by one point, while in the first contest with Tech, the game end ed in a tie, Reading winning in the extra period. Reading has undoubtedly the best balanced team in the league. The main spring in the Lebanon quintet is Cap tain Moore. This lad is one of the most remarkable players ever developed at Lebanon High School. Without his great playing, Lebanon would not be able to make its strong showing. Up until this week, Moore had an average of 21 points per game, for the seven contests played. Scoring 29 more tallies against Central Saturday night, he .add ed more points to his average, malt ing it 22 points per game. While other players have tallied more onen from the foul line than Moore, It is in field goals that t Ills lad excels. In his eight games he has tallied 60 two-point ers from the door. Krank has d ropped slightly In his average in the last two contests, and as a result, Nyquist, of Heading, is a fraction of a point ahead of the local player for second honors. Nyquist has totaled 94 points in six games for an average of 15.67, while Frank has made 77 points in five contests, for an aver age of 15.40 points per game. "Kddie" Harris, of Tech, continues to be the leading foul tosser with 67 to his credit, while Moore is right on his lieels with 66. DayhofT, of Steelton, has 53, while Nyquist is next in order with 52. Next Friday night Central will go to Reading, while Tech will oppose Steel ton in Feiton Hall. The remainder of the league schedule will bo played during the coming month starting this week, and the 'lnnl games of the schedule are as follows: March 9, York |at Reading, Central at Steelton; March 10, York at Lebanon; March 16, Tech at Central; Lebanon at Reading; York at Steelton; March 23.

Stephenson, al though not standing in scoring during the season, has played a fast and con sistent game at guard. Since he lias been elected captain lie has been shift ed to forward. Stephenson is not only a fast basket ball tosser, but is also classed as one of the mpst efficient baseball pitch ers against teams that rank with Camp Hill.
