Speaking of Sports Our bet is that both “Paw and Maw” Stribling are more excited to- day than is their young hopefyl. The referce had better have both “Paw and Maw" handeuffed tonight should McTigue chance to win, ‘hey may both run true to form and enter the fray.

One of the few memebrs of the seventh place Braves who got a raise this year was Frank Gibson, second string catcher, Gibson didn't eateh many games but he did well in those which he did cateh, so the manage- ment declded to increase his pay. And then lo and behold! Mr, Gib- son returns his eontract with the fol. lowing remarks: “Your money is all right, but what T want i8 work, Un. jess T get assurances that I will eatch at least half the games this year I won't report.” The assurances not being fortheom. ing, Mr, Gibson kept his word and re- fused to report.” Local baseball fans will do well to watch the Springfield Y.
