NEW YORK, June 18.—Pitcher
Scott “Rope” Perry, recently acquired
by tho Braves, may stick this time.
He probably will be able to prove to
George Stallings that he has the mak
ings of a big league pitcher, and will
at least last it out until the end of the
season.
Perry is pressing Jack KnightB very
closely for the wandering champion
ship of the big leagues. Jack used
to get caught in the draft every year,
stand being bought at least once every
six months, and take several trips
around the minor leagues each season.
He has quit now. Perry evidently is
bidding for the honors. Perry did his
first bit of traveling when he went
from the Wichita Western league club
to Louisville. Louisville was so busy
trying to win a pennant that Perry
was given very little chance to show
what he could do. It wasn't long un
der those conditions until he was
headed for Atlanta and there he was
planted last fall.
Tom O'Hara made a trip down
south during the hottest part of last
summer. He recommended Perry's
purchases for the Cubs, and the deed
was done. Perry reported this spring,
stayed with the Cubs until they got
to Chicago and then was shunted off
to Cincinnati, where he stayed just
long enough to get acquainted with
Manager Methewson. Matty wanted
to keep Perry; he said as much, but
the team limit was on him and he had
to do something. Perry was it. He
was sent back to Atlanta.
Perry stayed in Atlanta just long
enough to get his old apartment
straight, and then he was purchased
by the Braves. He’s headed again to
ward a big league fame. When Perry
was in the Western league he was
with a club that stuck most of the
time in last place, but he was general
ly acclaimed the best pitcher in that
circuit. His failure to flash in big
league company probably is due to the
same eccentricity of fate that made
Jack Knight a star of the first water
in the minors and just a ball player
In the majors.

THE RED CROSS.
(By Ivy Houtz Woolley.)
Into the world a waif was born,
A little straggler, weak and pale;
Neglect showed in her trembling
limbs —
Her lips suppressed an awful wail.
She wandered near the haunts of men.
Sad eyed, yet ever hopefully;
She gazed upon the thoughtless throng
For one who might her helper be.
As time passed on a few there were
Who lingered for a lttle spell,
To look into her pleading face
And say kind words and wish her
well.
One day the sound of inarching feet,
The clang of armor’s heavy steel.
Aroused within the heart of her
A mystery which angels feel.
•
She followed to the battlefield,
And with strong hands decreased
war's tolls;
She lifted up the dying heads
And caught the smiles from wafting
souls.
And then it was that all men saw
The reason for her courage great;
They came in hosts to do her wish.
And still they come—'tis not to^late.
Into the world a waif was born—
More precious far than wealth is she—
■The queen of every battlefield,
The saviour of humanity.
