OLD GLORY.

I like to see the Stars and Stripes
A-wavln' in the air.
I like to see the glory flag
A-wavin' everywhere.
When am far away from home
The flag looks good to me,
It fathered, mothered, nursed
And graded liberty.
I like 10 see it on the mast,
And see it on the shore.
l love to watch Old Glory
Wave on high forevermore-
To watch it wavin' on the land,
Ard hoatin' on the sea,
From Puget Sound the world around
To the Eastern Filligree.
It is riding on it's record,
A foatin' from the mast,
A-representin' many things
That happened in the past.
1t speaks O. many victories
And men who paid the price,
A-representin' noble hearts
And deeds O. sacrifice.

Earl Gardner's work at second

Ex-Manager James McAleer of

Joe Cantillon as pilot of the Wash

succeeds Jimmy in Old st. Looie.
Fred Tenny, the Giants first

They will play the Philadelphia

at the close of the Worlds Series
as several of the players want to
witness the combat.
Christy Mathewson the king of
slab artists is going to retire at the
close of the present season. Mat
tvs attitude is not one assumed
to force a raise of salary. Like
Fielder Jones he thinks his con-
templated business career is too
bright to be turned down.
Ex-Manager Lajoie will remain
with Cleveland as his contract runs
