JOE JUDGE IS CERTAIN
TO PLAY FOR GRIFFMEN
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.
Joe Judge will play first base for the Griffmen next reason.
Manager Griffith today received a letter from his speedy first base
man and crack run-getter, informing him that an x-ray picture of the
player's broken leg showed that it had joined perfectly, and that in from
four, to six weeks Judgoswould be as good as ever.

SPEND SOME MONEY, BARNEY.
Pittsburgh fans are already said to be drilling their famous "Hammer
Brigade" for steady use next season. Whyi Well, with about every other
club owner in the National League, except that patriot, Col. W. F. Baker,
of hew lork-rhiiadelphia, spending money for new players, the wizard
of Smokctown is clinging to every cent he ever made out of the grand old
game.
According to reports from Pittsburgh, Jimmy Callahan's failure was
due to the lack, of capable players furnished him by Dreyfuss. It is said
that Hugo Bezdek will fail for the same reason. It is said boldly by some
Pittsburgh writers that the Pirates are the poorest-paid ball club in the
National League.
. Spend some money, Barney, or sell your ball club.
LEADS ENTIRE LEAGUE.
By having Eddie Foster an usher at the Rev. Billy Sunday revival and
Clark Griffith and Eddie Ainsmith joining a Bible classr-the Washington
club leads the league along this line of endeavor. X
THEY ARE VALUABLE LADS.
In the last ten vcars Georee McBride and Zeb Milan twice rjlaved in
every game staged by the Washington club throoghout the season. Mc
Bride did it in 1908 and 1911, Milan in iii ana 112. rJddie roster turn
ed this trick in 1912.
In 1913 Zefi Milan missed just one game played by his team. In 191G
Eddie Foster missed but one contest played by the Griffmen.
Inasmuch as teamwork depends largely on having the same players al
ways in the line-up, it is simpe to see the value of McBride, Milan,, and
Foster to the Griffmen since they signed up with the club.

Billy Sunday's Daily Sermon
Written for The Times by'the Famous Evangelist
Over the Hurdles
.
There's no Game in the World,
Fellows, where you can Get a
Straight-Ahead Run to the Finish
without any Obstacles from
Craps tojSalvatiojf. You've got to
Get Over Something that's In
Your Way, no matter what Task
you're at.
If you're Rolling the Old Bones,
you've got to Get Past that Four
and that Ten and I understand
the Gamblers will lay you Two to
One you cant Make them. II
you're trying to Save your Soul,
the pid Devil is Jollying you
Along, Trying to tell You it's No
Use.
But this is what Struck Me.
This life we're in is More or Less
of a Hurdle Race. You've got to
Get Over a lot of High Sticks, and
there's only One, Wayto Do alt
Set your Mind on the Finish and
Go-At the Hurdles with AH the
Speed you've got.
You've all heard of Bob Simp
son, the Missouri Collegian, who
gets over 120 Yards with Ten
Lumbers 3 feet high In the Way
in 14 2-5 seconds. And Jack El
ler, the great New York cop, who
Tops the Ten Timbers in the
Same Time. Those Birds hold the
Record because they Keep Going.
Suppose - Bob or Jack would
Make Time up to the First Hurdle
and then say:
"Well, this is Pretty High! I
wonder if I can Jump It7"
And after Studying it Awhile, T Winner.
they would Get Over and then
Race to the Next and give it the
North and South and -Try to Dope
out if they could Surmount that
one. Where would they Ever Get?
But they Don't Do It that way.
They put on All the Steam they've
got At the Beginning. They go
like a Twin-Six from the Bang
of the Gun. At the First Hurdle
and the Tenth they just Set Sail
at the Stick and Top It without
the Loss of a Single Stride.
And you can Do the Same
Thing iljyou,TTy.
You know the Hurdles you've
got to .Get Over. Suppose I tell
you Ten: Booze Gambling -Un-cleanliness
of Life Irreligion
Sneering at Guys who are Trying
to Go Right Lack of Ambition
Laziness Knocking Lying
Beating the Boss' Clock.
I might Give you-Twice Ten;
but that's Enoughto Start With.
ibook yourself in the Map, ladj
Have you Got One or More of
those Hurdles in Front of You, or
Maybe All of Them?
Here's the answer. Get Going!
Put On all your Speed and you
Won't Have to Stop and Look
Each of Them in the Face. You'll
find yourself Breezing over One
after the Other like a new French
Monoplane getting on top of one
of the Kaiser's old Airship-Flivvers.
And before you Know It
you'll be Past all the HuTdles and

No less than nine teams were unable

rolled with three men on one side and

Teams which have little chance to win
