HE Mascot is the only bench warmer who doesn’t sour on his job. He knows there isn’t any chance of his getting into the game and he doesn’t spend any time worrying because some unobliging regular refuses to break an arm. His duties in the main consist of keeping the bats in an even row and of playing Gunga Din to thirsty ball- players. To be sure, it is also his job to rush out and greet with an affee- tionate pat, as he crosses the plate, the player who hits a home run that ties the score. Some mascots are also. required to turn handsprings on such ions. But here their duties end. Once the bats are in order, the men supplied with water, the affect pats dealt and the handsprings turned, a mascot can sit back on the bench and dream for a while or suck a lollypop or both. It is the finest of bench warm- ing jobs. The wistfully hopeful bench warmer isn’t confined to baseball. The football substitute, sitting on the side lines watching the first team, must have a feeling akin to that of his baseball brother. And if getting into the game means winning his letter—and if he has boasted to Evelyn or Edith that he will—well, if he prays that McHari- han get a couple of busted ribs, you can’t blame him. After all, with doctors what they are to-day, a busted rib isn’t abit serious. And, then, again, MeHs han isn’t much of a_ fellow Ww Didn't he crib at that last history exam?
