Says bugs"
cier*:
The Braves and Red Sox are two
of the leading teams in Massachusetts,
excluding <1ape Cod where the Prov
incetown Playera dominate the
matinees.
TVawMng a white washed foul line
direct from Pilgrim Rock to Bunker
Hill monument, we find that 7’aul
Revere would have done better on a
bicycle.
The Red Sox*had the best team in
the work* until >larr.v Fraxee bought
the l»am and cut it up like a birth
day cake. Harry started by selling
the pitchers. Then he decided that
without pitchers he would need no
catchers. So he sold them.
Just when affairs had reached a
crisis, the batboy appealed to the law,
and It eat decided that the lad was
; still under the Jurisdiction of hi*
legal guardian. But Harry almost sold
him, too, and did sell the guardian.
Disappointed in failing to wreck his
New Kncisnd boiled business acumen
on the batboy. Harry sold bis fran
chise and washed his hands of base
i iiall. That was three years ago. and
I the puddle la just drying up.
Since then there has been a game
attempt to build up another Red Sox
team, but Boston fan* have been very
timid, knowing full well the strange
fascination that impels an auctioneer
to return to the scene of his deadly
profits.
In spite of this, the Red Sox have
another good team this season and
will win the pennant. Like a cat with
a lobster on his tall, nothing can stop
them. They will win the pennant
again this year.
Although we gave the pennant to
the White Sox sesterday, we take it
back and give It to the Red Sox to
day, to have and to hold, to cherish
and to love, forever and a day. We
guarantee the day.
And the Braves will aleo win the
National league pennant. That team .
has a fine corps of pitchers, provided
you pronounce It the way it Is spelled.
They also have a fine catching corps
and three great corps in the outfield.
How can you stop a team like
that? Boston will get two pennants
,thl§ year and the world's series will
be another broken spoke on the hub
of the universe.
The Olutt la a baseball expert from
(he tips of his rubber heels to the top
of his cone shaped skull. When he

Earlv Odds Favor
Tonimv Gibbons
m
Chicago May 1§.—Early odd* favor
ing Tom Gibbon*, the leading sock
broker of St. Taul, over Georges
Carpentler. the French idol, have
aroused the ire of Francois Lie*
camps, who manages George*. It
is the contention o! Deacampa that
Gibbons has never don* *e much
against a good, small man.
During the Frenchman s first pub
lie workout* since landing Descamps
took occasion to point out that Gib
bon* had been unable to knock out
{tattling Devinsky, who fell before
Cnrpentier.
"Ijook what Harry Greh did to him
In New York.” Deacantps offered in
equivalent French. Other good but
small men, according to the mercurial
manager, who have been stumbling
: block* to Gibbon* were Cbtirk Wig
gin*. Bob Mohs, Boy McCormick.
"Then why." with a shrug that
brought hi* shouder* to the level of
his ears, ‘should Tommy be the fa
vorite?"
Over In Gibbons' Gold Coast camp
Toni and hi* manager, Eddie Kane,
seemed able to laugh this off without
trouble.
The odds, quoting Gibbon* at 8 and
7 to 5, remained unchanged.
