   Historians recording the life battles and career of Harry Lord rise to
remark that this noted athlete was literally kicked into professional baseball.
Picture such a fate at this stage of the game, yet the version of his earliest
start is true according to the White Sox third sacker, who is doing chores
and keeping busy in the Hot Stove League at the old home town, South Portlant,
Me.

_"OUR BOB" WAITING_
_TO GET "PLAY BALL"_
(...)  By H. G. COPELAND
   "Our Bob" Hardgrove, the Missouri string boy, has scented the first nreath
of baseball atmosphere and he is anxious to know what is doing in the
baseball world.  "Our Bob" hasn't been a star in the hot-stove league this winter--he
has been too busy.  From his home in Monmouth he writes to inquire whether
the American Association is still in existence and he is anxious to know when
hostilities will open.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE

   The OED Appeals List has "great minds think alike," out-of-order under
"mind."  It needs an antedate of 1873.
   Is there some guy bagging groceries at Wal-Mart twelve hours a day doing
all OED's science terms?...Wright American Fiction (where this is from) will be
down from 8 a.m. until noon on Friday.
