that you should procrastinate. The
very best moment to start your letter
is the moment you read this. Organiz?

than seme of you may imagine. Of
Course, if. in the present instance, 't
?was simply a vase of organizing to?

bo a different matter.

So get busy rigid off the reel"and he in

says "play hall."
Voii know that old story about llf
being short and time fleeting. It holds
just as much now as it did when I ho
poet first thought it out. and it is no?
where more applicable than in the pres?
ent undertaking. Always be in the
vanguard, and you will always have a
seat near the front. If you wait until
after the league is organized you will
have to take a few crumbs, arid maybe
there won't he any crumbs. But if you
isjt .it the table when the pie is cut you
may not only get your original portion,
but there may he a second slice.
Von know what it means. The first
* out ; are usually the first served. And
the more the merrier might, as well be
added. Two heads are always hetter
titan one. even in baseball, and the
value of the meeting will Increase in
direct ratio with the hUmber of appli?
cants.
'l ite time of day at which the meeting
will he called has not been determined
upon, and the sporting editor would he
glad to receive suggestions as to this.
Ife has called the meeting on Saturday,
because he felt that Saturday, being a
half-holiday, would give every one an
opportunity to be present without los?
