the game is yours.
Confidential Notes--sccnc bridgeport,
Simmons. the second baseman of the
New Ravens, yesterday discovered a
few things 'Tf had q million dollars,
or was a millionaire, | would buy all
the coal mines In the world and distrlb-
ute the coal among the poor people"
That's going some Sim, old boy. Char
itableness is a good trait.
Farmer Pleiss, left fielder of New
Haven. took up the thread of argument.
and said "If had a million dollars, or
was a millionaire, ] would buy two
old locomotives, and set them widely
apart, and let them fly with sixty mile
speed at each other In the meanwhile
would be at safe distance and en-
JOY the smashup." Wasting money,
aren't you, Ed?
ORourke's shortstop went one better
when he said with wink: If had
million dollars, or was Il millionaire,
would endeavor to solve perpetual mo-
ton" What's the matter Steve? Isn't
one million enough?
Murray, catcher, changed the line Of
argument. when he said: ar man
has a million dollars, or is a millionaire,
he can never have as much sport with
all his dough as a baseball player has
playng two hours" The remark got
the players goats. To think that they
were playing for sport Horrible!
That's all right, Paddy get all the sport
you can out of the game

hearing distance
Cameron agreed to pay Jerry Connell
! twenty dollars If he secured n
4 home run. TOO bad Jerry could not
! get IT. re Jerry should have bribed
the opposing nelders to let the ball go,
and the scorer would have credited the
4 fielder with an error he would have
got stuck, for Cameron might have
heard of Jerry's bribery and would
have fixed up the scorers. A fair ex-
change Is no robbery.
