Festus Higgins Is Out
With Old-Time Injury
Scranton, May 12.— During the sev
enth inning of yesterday's game be
tween Scranton and Utica Festus Hig
gins, star right-hander of the Miners,
was seized with a recurrence of an old
uffltctlon and fainted. He had to be
taken to the clubhouse and there
attended by the club physician. Seven
years ago Higgins was struck on the
head by a pitched ball and has had
sporadic convulsions ever since. He
lias had several operations but none
completely effected a cure. Higgins
thought that he was entirely well and
Manager Coughlin, of the Miners, put
him in to pitch against the Utes. He
was twirling a magnificent game un
til one of the convulsions seized him
in the seventh. It is likely that Hig
gins will likely voluntarily sever con
nections with the club.
PITT BASEBALL TEAM
CUTTING BROAD SWATH
Pittsburgh, May 12.—The Univer
sity of Pittsburgh's baseball nine has
heen keeping up its winning streak
and threatens to establish a r v ecord
in the diamond sport equal to that
made by the football and basketball
teams of the past school year. This
week the team is in the East, mak
ing their annual invasion.
The coming week the team has
two of its hardest games of the
year scheduled. First, West Vir
ginia University will be played and
Friday Penn State, the old-time ri
vals of the local school, will be
met. Although Pitt won by a safe
margin in their first game with the
Mountaineers from West Virginia
.still the game was played on a very
cold day and a closer contest Is
looked for this week.
The Penn State nine has always
heen the chief stumbling-block for
Fanther baseball teams. However,
this year Pitt is determined that they
will do away with the jinx and come
snto their own. The chances are
Ihat Coach Blair will hold Lang
don in reserve for this important
contest.

Olcltinie Stuff
This is no bromidlc day
In the Calendar of Life,
Where the nations stand at bay
Through the tumult and the strife;
Yet there comes an oldtime song.
Lifted from an ancient frame — ,
"Keep your head up—plug along—
Hold your grip—and play the game."
Some of us will live, and some
Face the sunset's closing span,
Where the" drums are calling—"Come, ,
GiVe your service to the clan"—
But, amid the weak or strong.
Let this chorus face the flame—
"Keep your head up—plug along—
Hold your grip—and play the game."
By the middle of June the pitcher who hasn't cut in with a no-hit game
will be charged admission to the park.
You Can't Always Tell
Fate has tangled ways of moving along. On one afternoon Jim Vaughn
travels nine innings without yielding a hit —and then loses the game.
A few days later he allows eleven hits, while his rival only permits two.
This time Vaughn wins.
He loses where he should win 999 out of 1,000 starts; and he wins where
ordinarily he would come in for a tidy trimming.
It's 50—50 over the full route—provided you don't weaken.
On the Potato Rugs
Sir—As a transferred golfer, I rise to a point of information —in hoeing
potato vines do you keep your eye on the hoe or on. the potatoes?
BOGEY 11.
Golf should be a great training for farm work. We know any number of
golfers who have had enough experience operating niblicks in sand traps to
churn up a ten-acre field for planting in a foren.oon. And the pleasing fea
ture about farm work is that you don't have to replace the divots or carry
around more than one club.
Chicago's Punch
Sir —Speaking of St. Paul —The City with the Punch—how about Chi
cago? Look at her entry list—
Jimmy Barry—Bantamweight champion.
Harry champion of America.
Johnny Coulon—A bantam champion.
Tommy White —126-pound bantam champion of America.
Eddie Santry—l26-pound champion of England.
YE OLDE TIMER.
Matty the Manager
Last season Matty assumed charge of a ball club that had become wedged
through inefficiency and force of habit into the grotto.
The old Giant star assumed charge of a machine that was replete with
punctures and had run out of gasoline. As miracles happen only at rare In
tervals in this dizzy existence, there is hardly a chance that Matty will hoist
his Reds out of the second division this season. He may—but the odds are
all the other way.
The point is, howsoever, that Matty has undoubtedly started his clan in
the right direction. He is proving that he knows how to run a ball club—a
Job that requires knowledge of baseball and knowledge of men. Given his
share of time, he has the ability and the force to lead the famished Reds
from the wilderness back into the promised land.
Not Quite
"The American League," says an exchange, "is fitted out with all the
game's great outfielders —Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Lewis, Hooper, Shotten
heading the list.
All the great outfielders? Not quite. If George Burns, of the Giants,
doesn't belong in this circle the piffling done is more futile than ever.
Burns is a better outfielder than most of those mentioned and fully as stout
with the mace as Hooper, Lewis or Shotten. Nothing to it.
Golf Poem •
A full shot with
The rake or hoe
Makes the bean
. . And cabbage grow.
A number of noncombatants are figuring on baseball's late summer future
and what will happen to football next full. Whereas to-morrow lies beyond
the dope and next week is another age.
As to what will happen to baseball aroutid August or September, about
thirteen of the sixteen major league citadels won't care two whoops in
Grandold Gehenna after July. The idea for nothing to bie annoyed about
in the throbbing breast of the average fan Is what will happen to a ball
club with no chance to finish 1-2.

ROSEWOOD HITS AND WINS
Rosewood won last night's game
over Stanley, score 5 to 0. The
game went four innings. Glen Kill
inger's hitting was an interesting
feature. "Babe" Brown played and
clouted the ball for a double. His
work was a big factor in Rosewood's
victory. Caton allowed but one hit.

CORNER
Important matters were discussed
to-day ut a special meeting of the
National League. It is probable that
there will be a reduction of club
rosters and plans will bo outlined
for taking care of the war tax.
War did not interfere with the
annual Kentucky Derby, held to-day
at Louisville. This historic event
and richest classic always attracts a
