joke job. Joss is we'll educated: writes
nicely, and knows every branch Of sport.
He aided Hugh Fullerton. Frank X.
Finnigan & Co. in covering the world
championship series for Editor Hearst's
string Of papers. Naturally. Joss would
be expected to favor the Tigers. That's
because he's an American Lacquer.
But there was absolutely no trace Of
prejudice In his "stories." He was just
as extravagant in his praise Of the Cubs
as the most one-sided National League
critic.
Addie not only boosted the Cubs in
type. but he congratulated them In the

The writer has long been an admirer
Of Johnny Evers. That the member from

is proven by what Joss wrote about him.
Addie has worked with La;oie. the gen.

When he forgets all about the French
man and puts Evers in first place all the
fans should swing in line. Under his
own signature Joss has just said:

ball career. but little Johnny Evers Of the
Cubs pretty nearly eclipses them all.
Evers is one Of the headiest players that
ever stepped into a pair Of shoes. His
foot work Is great His catches are won
derful. But his real worth Is right in his
head.
He knows what to do at all times Of
the game. Seldom does he make a mis-

Notwithstanding the fact that the judge who pre-

not only money but obedience and bring
