Castleton Atlanta (W 10 6 1) There is no question of personal opinion about this team The men with the best averages are picked A little study of the averages shows that the crop of infielders this year is none too good There is not a single man In the class with Ball and Ate the shortstops sent higher last fall Among the shortstops Cranstou of 'Steel phis is easily best and may get a trial-in faster company Sentell is the next best according to average There are no nil-round stars at second Page is hest with Perry sectosi No southern second basemen are likely to go higher Carey of Memphis and Counors of Little Rock are making a close racefor the honor of being the best first sacker Connors is batting the better 77 to 24but Carey's marvelous fielding average pulls him up into first

you go out on a spring morning and find the ants busily engaged In clearing out their net and dragging the sands and bits of earth to the surface you may be sure that no matter how cloudy it la there will be no rain that dal and the probabilities are for several days of good weather If however you see the ants about the middle of a spring or summer afternonn hurrying back to the nest and a sentinel trotting out in every direction looking nP stragglers and urging them to go borne en soon as they can get there you may figure on a rain that afternoon or night When the last of the wanderers is feria the picket hurries in and the nest Is curely sealed from the inside to keep Out the water It is seldom that ants tro taken by surprise by the approach of a shower Average Length of Life
