Smart Sayings to Order.

From the New York Globe
 "There are lots of people who are natu- rally quick and witty in ordinary conver- sation. but the man who can be both at a gathering is not as numerous as you may think" said man at dinner uptown a few nights ago.
 'I was asked few days ago to come here and say something. I am not a speaker, either before, at or after the feast I said so to the man who urged me to come. Then he told me that if wanted to say anything. and didn't feel quite up to the job, as he put it. he could put me on to a man who made such things a business I was curious to know more and asked the committeeman who the manufacturer of and dealer in wit was He said to me: "Ill call him up right here and he did Then I realized that what the man had said to me was dead earnest. After he had got the dealer on the phone, and- told him what he wanted. he turned to me and said: He wants to know If you want some jokes, and whether you want the jokes on the raw or something that would do for ladys party?
 Then I quit. I would not have be- lieved that if 1t had been told as story. And I am sorry enough about it, too, for every time anybody has said anything smart or funny here tonight I have won dered whether 1t was manufactured or genuine. Some of it was genuine, of course, for 1t was apropos, but some of the sayings, I am satisfied, had been hammered out by the jokesmith.'

 The work of Shortstop McEniry, who by the way, is a Bessemer boy, was the best ever seen on the local diamond for a college player.

Weems, who was in the box for Auburn, Bailey in the center garden and Hall at second base, all played snap py ball also.
