Holding On. Tennyson's gurgling brooks may romp along forever, but ball players are neither rivulets nor brooks. Their limit is never eternal. More than one veteran is now on his way south for the last time in major league harness, but spiking them by name is another matter. Cobb, starting in 1905, Is now in his eighteenth campaign.

He may still be a nectarine, but he hasn't many laps left, although he may round out twenty seasons before removing his spikes. Walter Johnson, unfurling his yiung wares in 1907, is on the him of his sixteenth carnival with a lot of smoke still left in his venerable elbow. Slim Sallee still persists in tossing his floater by rival bats, but the angu-lar sheriff' is fairly close to the end of the limb. "Babe" Adams and Larry Gardner haven't many dusty leagues to travel before checking out and calling it a career. After all, going back doesn't mean so much when you meet so few coming forward.

Joe's address was a noteworthy tribute to the friendly attitude he had found here; to the loyalty of local fans, and during the course of "things baseball," he praised Jakey Pitler as the best manager he had ever known. "Ot course, we played on different teams, but Pitler is a mighty fine fellow, has a great head for the game and If he were in the big league and manager of a big league club, there's no doubt but that his club would win the pennant." This remark brought a storm of applause from the loyal Franklin fans, iwho forgot the rivalry of last summer to "take off their hats" to Pitler and applaud Joe for his fair-mindedness.

The guest of honor declared that he wanted to make It plain that where-ever he happened to be and a Franklin citizen was in town, he'd be mighty glad to have the visitor make that (fact known. He also added that it might be possible to have the Boston team here for an exhibition game.

He said there were two open dates, June 24 and 25, and Larry Gent, J. B. Borland and others may try to arrange for the coming of the Red Sox at that time. Here are the thumb-nail tributes that fans paid Joe: Marshall Phipps "Everybody in Franklin is your friend. We'll wish yon well where'er you go." Dr.

Brown "We are all players we must play our part In life. Joe Harris rang true all the time." J. B. Borland "We think well of you Joe, and I think this poem expresses it: "Joe Harris, my Joe-John, We have not known you long-, But we have learned t'o lore you. Which is the burden of my sons'; We love you for your quiet ways, But above, an best of all, We leve to see you at the plate And watch you soak the ball." Larry Gent "Ton know how I feel.
