lsiCK ITEXDRICKS MAY NOT BUT OTHERS HAVE WOX RAG FIRST YEAR IX MAJORS

fltr United Pp.ebs (By II. C. HAMILTON.) SEW YORK. April ID. Two youthful ball players are s !ni to have extraordinary chances this year of carving their names deeply on the history ..f big league baseball. Out of the west has come one youngster, out of the east the other has sprunfr. Each is with a club f.sured to have a groat deal to say about the disposal or th National league pennant this j ear. Nevir were conditions better for the debut of a budding etar than this year. And. as In times pone by. warnings are being sounded to thes youths, warnings that have been, spoken to players who have come and gone before ninny times unheeded. "Don't let advance publicity and promises of great things inflate your head" Is the way of those warnings sound. One of these youths has heeded this and is keeping doggedly t it. Symptoms of inflated opinion already have struck the other youngster. He may recover from It or he may not. It rests with himself. If he does recover It and lose his self-consciousness he probably will become a preat ball P-layer. If he still believes he is already a bis league star he is destined to a troublesome life as a bis leaguer and is destined for an early trip back to the minors. One of the youths Is Charley HolIceher. & shortstop, the other is r.oss Touiif, an outfielder. Already the corresponuents have tipped New "York, off that Young is the greatest younj outfielder to go to the Giants in many and many a year. They predict that the youth will live and ensure as a star even greater some day than George Burns, who already is famed as the National league's best rardener. All the praise that has been heaped on him hasn't had the slightest tit of effect so far on young Mr. Young. He has gone right ahead playing sprins

"With eist players already signed nr. including Biily Sunday, who will rlay : and captain the All-National league; team, the committee in charge cf the1 old timers' game to be played at "White , Sox park on May 3 for the benefit of a patriotic fund is making rapt 1 rrogrcsv Efforts were made to persuade Charley Oomiskey to don the spangies. but the , Old nomcn refused.

Jack Hendricks, called the most brilliant of all minor leapue managers, because of his exceptional success with the Denver, arH more recently, the Indianapolis club, is expected to work wonders with the St. Ixuks Cardinals this year. But even if Hendricks were to surprise the baseball world and win the pennant he would not be setting any new rerord in baseball. Fred Clarke did this with Louisville in 1101, Frank Chance with the Cubs in 1S06 and Jake Stahl with the Red Sox in 1912.

People in the Calumet district who fish in "Wolf Lake and who know that the state law is violated there will be much interested in the following from a Chicago paper: CHICACO. (To the Editor.) Have read in one of your articles that Wolf lak", Ilohy. Ind.. would be seined. Took a trip there last week, and as I strolled by the third ice house I noticed four fishermen up by th bridge between the third and fourth icehouse. Went out and Investigated: watched them make two haul.". The first haul contained a number of cat p. black bass, and some pickerel; gome, of the bass averaging around three pounds. They dipped the bas cut separate and dumped them ir. their b '.'it. They bad no intention of returning them, but when they saw me they returned the small ones, after they had fioundered ar.eind in the boat for fi'.e minutes or so. I did not see any game wardens with th:n. Their object seemed to be to get them while he getting Is good. Indiana lias fish laws. Why n't obey? The fish laws at this lake have always b"en abused. Only last ear you could find as many as eight or nine set lines, with 100 hooks apiece, all lriitcd with shiners. These same fellows would seine for minnows and half the catch would be small black bass. It made no difference to them, for they used them for bait also. If a warden would s'roll along here some nice Sunday h" would be paid for the trouble. Have fished many cf the Wisconsin and Michigan inland lakes, but for size of bass this "llshed out" lake is as good as any. There was a time a few years ago when I could get as many as ten good f.sh in four hours. If these fishermen use their seines much there w ill not he any f:sh left. See whet you ran do to stop this. C. F. Kditor's note The fishermen jou saw were commercial fishermen and net the stato seining crew. We have notified the Indiana fish and game commissioners and action will be taken immediately to stop all

Mr. chetney. our favorite candidate f r sheriff, has bren groundkeeper at the park for some weeks. It has been his business to level and roll and rake and swat. At frst it was a labor of love as Hum is a devoted fan. He toiled faithfully the first week, earning three times as much as Farduhn paid him. And at quitting time Saturday Earl gazed on a ball park fit for world champioif.o tr. diamond level and hard as a bowling nil. y and the outfields olosecroppr.,) and good enough for lawn tennis or pelf. And th--n Sunday came a deluge of rain plow ing up the diamond and submerging the ii. hi. Although Fail worked desperately with a. mop and buckets the elements were too great for him and he was f. rced to retreat to the shelter of the grandstand, adding crocodile tears to the down-pour. Sunday .after Sunday this spring has Veen the same ruinous rain. F.arl has grown lean and pale. The inside work is t"ll!ncr on him. All hi? life lie has had outside jobs and the confinement of an inside yb has already left its mark. His frail constitution demands th boundless, free, open, wild. untremmeled and invigorating outside. Two-four-six. Outside.

o ei there." In a Camp Over Here. Thursday. April 4, 1318., Dearest Folks: Veli, Ma, dar. after an all day's ride on the cars we are in a camp and say this country is a geat, only it raini too nun h. We had a dandy train rioe across the country and it was great, and talk about differnt things: pee, evervthinn you look at is charged, bjt we can make a stay just as pood as' any of them. There are a lot of Americans at this iace and to look around you wouldn't think you were over here, for all you see is the good Yank?, as th English call us. And in a regular tent city and it is like when we were at Columbus, Ohio. Thre is a lot of mud here but it don't stick. Was up to the T. M. C. A. already but It was so full you could hardly get in but there is always room for one more. AVe have to get our money changed anl learn the value all over again. were one tired bunch when we got here, but we had a dandy time Had nice weather all the way. Just think, it is early morning In the States now and afternoon here. The "Y" fellows are giving us apples and they taste good. Well. ma. this country is great, all hills and valleys and such pretty green grass and the trees, are all budding out. and th houses are so funny. I did not see a wooden house r!ar across the country. There is a lot of Yanks at this camp. Ask Al how he would like to hear the big guns- roar. We can hear thm in the distance. There are airplanes around hre and they make lots of noise. Everybody around here Is writing home for it is the first chance we have had. I don't know how much we can write hut I will write as often as I ran. It Is almost time for supper and like the English say, you can't scare the bloody Yanks; all they think about is eat. and that is right. We heard that often on the boat. There are lots of coal mlns in this country and no danger of a coal shortage here. The Red Cross in one town gave us coffee and you bet it tasted good.

too. but they are had off here, for they have not half the things the American people have. They don't know what sugar or beef is. Gee. what I would like is some mail

from home. I am feeling tip top and hopj every one is ths same. We have good meals and a good place to sie;. so every thing is all right. As lonif as they feed us we will feel great Oe. the cars are funny around her" You go in by the side door and only eight in a stall, as we call them, but they can go pretty fast when th start. We had a parade frsm the boat tc the train. Vou don't ee any TO tin a frllov. over here around the corners, and l will he a good thins when you don't see them around over on that ide. It will do them a heap of good to he in the army. I am glad I brought paper along for it is scarce over herrI would like to send some of this money home, but I will bring al! kinds of it home when I come. It rairts a good bit here. Everything is war over here and every place you go you see women working In the shops and on cars and all kinds of work and the street cars ar funnv here two stories on them. Well. Ma. I can't write any mor today, but will write every chance I set. for I know you want the letters as bad as I do. So bye, bye. sth love to everyone. Your lovmg son. CI.AUK.VCi:.
