What Is this thing called soft-
ball? What has it got that makes
babies cry for it and old men cry
like babies. Well, we can't tell yon
right here but If you want to find
out drop around to Sweetland
field Monday night, pay your
money, pick yourself out one of
the nice comfortable seats right
behind home plate (come early
for that) and stick around for a
while. You'll find out.
From all indications its go-
lag to be. a speedier league this
year. The old party lines have
been discarded and the good
talent has been shifted around
hither and thither and yon n-
" til every team has n few of the
former hot shot stars. Judg
ing from the spring league the
pitching is much better this
year and the new inseam ball
tends to make things faster, If
possible, than ever before.
"Spec" Keene and Max Page, a
couple of fine, honest gentlemen,
will draw the names out of the
hat that will tell the waiting mob
who will play Monday night. We
haven't been informed who will
furnish the hat unless It's the
Man's Shop which has a team in
the league. From rumors that
come to our ears it seems the Pa
per Mill, where the boys are so
used to handling paper that a few
pasteboards is nothing at all, will
win the ticket marathon and be
one of the teams in the first game.
The rest will have to take their
chances on being all dressed up
with no place to play.
The Statesman-Legion base
ball school will get into its see
ond week this week and you
can find out from any lad that
it's a walloping success. The
more than 100 boys who come
out every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday are learning more
about baseball than they'd pro
bably learn in si lifetime if they
didn't attend . such . n school.
This week's first session will
be held Monday at 10 o'clock
on dinger field. Ability trials
will be held Wednesday and Al
Bechet, president of the Sena
tors, has . donated a bunch of
sweatshirts to give to the best
performers.

Braddock, posing with Schmel

the myth of Louis Invincibility
and said: "Take good care of
that. Max. until September. You

Schmeling seized the onnortun-
