SOME SPORTING DOPE
Bully! Magee of the Phillies has
been indefinitely suspended and fined
$200 for assaulting Umps Finneran.
We insist that no one but a fan has
a right to assault an umps, and even
then assaults must be confined to
linguistic castigation.
Parson Farthing will be sold to a
state league team, probably York, but
with a string attached so he can be
yanked back in case he recovers his
form. The Parson's case is myster
iously baffling. Last year he set the
Western afire. This years he is
about as effective in the box as a
Jpne Orangeman in a St. Patrick's
.'day parade. .
This will injure the Joetown ma
terially, but if Tex utilizes the lay
off to improve the quality of his. lan
guage his temporary retirement will
not have been in vain.
Spider Corhan has rejoined the Sox
and shows himself ready to get back
into the game. If the Spider ever be
gins hitting .285 or better he will
have to hire a dray to haul his month
ly wage to the bank.
fore with our seeing the home team
play.
Leviticus Knapp has every reason
to feel proud of his hold on fandom
in these parts. When there was dan
ger that Leviticus would be sent back
to a minor team everybody mourned.
And when he suddenly came back
fandom stood right up on its rear un
derpinning and vociferated in glee. It
is going to be many a long day ere
the record he set in that 'Lope-Kaw
game last week is equalled. To have
but twenty-eight batsmen face him
in nine innings, allow but one hit and
issue but one pass that's going
some. That Knapp boy is going to
wing a lot of victories for us before
the season closes if some wretch
doesn't come along and amputate his
pitching arm.

baseball games in the west. We have

game.
Manager Robertus is occupying the
bench quite some considerable these
days, utilizing the time in puttying up
the spike holes in his ankles. But he
wholesales the peppersass as of old.
In the meanwhile Guiseppe Dundon is
cavorting around the secondary hesi

our unqualified enconiums.
Anxious Inquirer: Yes. sir; Kan

National League. It was in 1885, and

Paulopolis Cobb has recovered the

Wherefore Paulopolis is hitting for
extra bases with cheerful regularity.

decided to play Don Espano on the
bench for quite a spell o' periods. He
has been hitting .375 as an inspirer

and mingled with the gentlemen who
accept his money.
The July 27 game with St. Joe will
be played at Capital Beach at 2:15 p.

for the Grocers and Butchers' annual
picnic at that popular resort.
Jeems Cockman has secured a new
lease on batting eyes and is now
punching them to the fence. While
Jeems was playing with a hand
swelled up like a poisoned pup, and
missing a few now and then because
of it, the "Yallers" said he was a has

Jeems is daily demonstrating that the
average "Yaller" is also a liar.

A Modernized Fable
Once upon a time a Grasshopper perched upon a ryestraw... and
fiddled away to beat the band.
An Ant, busier than a hen with one chick, hustled to store away
grub against the winter time.
"Foolish creature," chortled the . Grasshopper, "to vaste the
golden hours tolling like a slave. Why not enjoy life while you live.
Me for the bright lights and the hurrah time."
So saying the Grasshopper fiddled away the bright summer. But
the Ant continued to hustle for all get out.
When the first blizzard swooped the Grasshopper had no more to
eat than a mummy; and when just about to expire from hunger saw
the Ant going by looking as well fed as an alderman.
"Give me a bite," said the Grasshopper.
"Not me," said the Ant. "I hustled while you fiddled. You had
your fun, now I am eating regularly."
And a bit later the Grasshopper succumbed to the inevitable.
Moral: Do more hustling and less fiddling now, and later in life
you can fiddle without danger.
