Notes.
Jones, the catcher for the Regu-
lars, comes very highly "touted
from some of the best minor leagues.
He will in all probability have a
berth on the team that will represent
Amarillo this season.
Another feature Of the game will
be the temperance of the veteran,
Bank Jones on the mound. No play
er's popularity ever rivaled Jones
in his hey day. The old-timeps are
banking on Jones to show some of
his old time form.

No Rhyme For Tipperary.

A poet once jumped to the conclusion
that there was no rhyme to Tlpperary
and said so. whereupon an indignant
Irishman, who CHANGED also to be bit
OF a versi6er, pounced upon him and
poked fun at him in a lengthy poem,
every other line of which rhymed or
was supposed TO rhyme with the place
in question. thus;
A bard there was In sad quandary
To find a rhyme for Tipperary.
Long labored he through January,
Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary;
Toiled every day in February,
But toiled in vain for Tipperary;
Searched Hebrew text and commentary.
But searched in vain for Tipperary.
And so on through many scores Of
stanzas. ending up with:

Burnt in despair his dictionary.
Blew up sky high his secretary,
And then In wrath and anger sware he

He Never Hove "Gampy."

Micah Jarrett was a shrewd horse
trader to the day OF his death. He
was slightly deaf and used his deaf
ness in his business to no small degree.
One day he sold an old horse to a
neighboring farmer, who thought he
had found a great bargain. He changed
his mind, however, when, after driving
his new purchase few miles, the
beast emitted a series Of explosions
strongly resembling the exhaust of a
locomotive.
Straightway he drove to "Gampy,"
who was sharpening a knife In his
dooryard, his son Abner turning the
grlndstone. The dlsgruntled purchaser
began n long TRADE, which was per-
fectly audible to the old man. who,
however. simulated great deafness and
finally remarked, "HeyT

"Hey?"

"Hey?"

The old man looked at him calmly.
Then, indicating his son, he said gen
tly: "Never hove me, Hove Abner
