Umpire O'Lougolin finally volunteered the information that the wind was causing the ball to cut its queer capers, Against the combination of Cicotte and the elements the Yankees could mass only two singles, Peck started the third with one and was sacrificed to second. Baker opened the fifth with the other and stole second. Those were the only New Yorkers to reach the middle sack. No one prog- ressed as far as third.

He could travel steerage into a baseball game, borrow a chew of tobaccy and still have enough lucre left over from the wreck to entitle him to a little elbow exercise on one of the horizontal bars where gentle-| men of the old school drank their baseball. A pleasant matinee was ob- tained by all and there is no record of any of the fans dying from chagrin. ence and tweaked the price of baseball a trifle to the north. Each magnate was entitled to three chins and one vote, and with the exception of a jumble of baritone squawks from a million fans the decision was unanimous, There ‘a man in Montana who eats red ant pies. With a little practice you can get used to anything.

The owners think the tax should be nailed on the fans, and the fans think it should be plastered on the magnates, while the players agree that war is an untidy affair, With a little practice you can grow used to anything. It looks as if the fans will inherit the tax, and with the exception of a broken spine the camel is getting along nicely. It was extremely affable of the Reds not to take any of the games in the Giant series. They probably figured if they busted a game it would spoil the set. Matty’s team will go through all the motions tn Brooklyn to-day. No motor cop would pinch the Robins for overepeeding this season, Even if the cop did go through with it, any fair-minded judge would dis- charge ‘em for lack of evidence.
