 All honor to the new mascot! It's only a mangy little yellow dog with no ped- gree to boast of, and a tramp besides, but the best in the city is none too good for his curship now. He was discovered yesterday about noon by Manager Fisher. Pitcher Torrey and Johnny Carr. and was at once adopted as a successor to the la mented Jesse. No name has yet been attached to the new mascot, but he was proudly lowed out to Athletic park by Carr at the end of strong rope and duly installed as the chief hoodoo destroy CT From the time he entered the park until the game was over the dos was busy. He speedily developed baseball in- stincts, and was soon acquainted with each player. As a mascot he made good, as the score of the game shows. When the Pirates left the grounds the dog was tenderly placed away in one of the lock CTS Last night Johnny Carr made a touching appeal to Fred Scheer of the Inn, who is an enthusiastic baseball fan, and as a result was able to carry out a nice bunch of juicy steaks and chops to the park and the dog regaled himself as probably no other canine in Shreveport did. If the surprise to it's stomach doesn't prove fatal. Big Lize'' Torry will lead him up and down in front of the grand stand today before he goes in to win the third game of the Little Rock series. This will give the fans an opportunity to size up the mascot's good points, and give him the reception he so richly de- serves.-Shreveport Times.
