A MESSAGE FROM A FRONT TRENCH
When my time comes and all farewells are said
To what few friends may still survive the fight,
I shall not shrink to hear the ghostly tread
That signals Death is stalking through the night
To lead me forth across the Mystic Moor
Unto the Tavern of the Silent Land—
But I shall smile —and through the open door
We two shall go, as good friends —hand in hand.
There I shall meet the friends who've gone before,
And we shall gather in a room apart.
And, cup to cup, shall pledge the days of yore,
Soul unto soul and silent heart to heart;
And there beneath the crimson rose that nods
And sways above us, free from toil and strife,
We'll quaff to you—forgotten by the gods—
Poor souls who linger at the Inn of Life.
The Hon. Tristam Speaker, of Hubbard City, Tex., is no easy denizen
to shake loose. For the last two months or more Ty Cobb has been setting
a pace swift enough to break tho stoutest heart. He has opened up a good
lead, but Speaker has hung on, waiting for a possible slump. Two years \
ago Cobb went twenty-four times to bat in late August without getting a
hit. it was the longest slump he has ever known. But he had no Speaker
pattering along the trail that year in his immediate wake, so the deficit
cost nothing. The lead Cobb now has is a bulky one. But the Geogria
typhoon is not yet quite out of range.
DEVELOPED AND ROTJGHT
A quivering bystander, who has become enmeshed in an argument, wants
to know how many of the present Giant array were developed by McGraw
and how many were purchased from other clubs.
The Giants in tho main are a purchased rather than a developed machine.
McGraw developed Fletcher, Holke, Burns, Robertson and to a certain ex
tent Herzog, who flitted back and forth through various campaigns.
Among the pitchers Tesreau was developed by McGraw, and so was
Ferdy Schupp, the rising young left hander. But the list of purchased
stars developed elsewhere is much longer. Among the catchers both
Rariden and McCarty were purchased after development under other tents
Benton, Sallee, Anderson and Perrltt were all veterans before coming to
New York.
So was Heinie Zimmerman, while Kauff was a Fed luminary with a lot
of experience. So eight of the Giant regulars were purchased while six
were McGraw scholars. With Wilhoit in righ field, the list Is nine against
five. As the pen is mightier than the sword, so the mazuma is mightier
than the scout.
You can't always tell how good a pitcher is by his record. Ray Cald-'
well has found it an exceedingly tough affair this season to win ball games
where his own club is shut-out or held to one run. This is one of the most
delicate arts known to the science of pitching.

battle between Butte Hal and Dan
Hedgewood, the former, however,
winning in straight heats. Butte Hal

the next two and won the event
handily.
