Dear Fanatics: The prospects or
Johnny King playing ball this summer
are minute, unless Johnny is the
greatest con artist that ever happened
The great Chicago National catcher
had a long talk with Charley Street,
the Washington American catcher, in
Kansas City last week. and King ex-
planned his position. He said he was
making from $1,000 TO $4,000 a year
out of his billiard and pool haH in Kan
sas City, had an independent semi-pro
team there that netted him about s125
or $50 per week. and just naturally had
TO STAY on the job or double-cross him
self Also, II seems that King bought
forty acres of land in the Kansas City
suburbs. that a boulevard was run
through said real estate holding. and
that he has since been offered $1,000 per
acre for the same. That sounds pretty
good ia these hard times. and Johnny
can hardly be blamed if he refuses to
state whether or not he is against the
tariff on stockings.
Clarke Griffith is still the CHEEKY soul
with the prosecuted disposition we
knew I'm the American League. but he
is working like a Trojan with the Gin
cinnati team, and has a rather promis-
ing bunch there He has been drilling
his bunch into the necessity for playing
the game ali the time. and some of that
teaching was painfully apparent in the
game and near-game Washington
played in the Queen city. Grif knows
baseball well enough, and It would not
be surprising If, under present condi-
TONS he made a success of his new
Job.
Stnl, 1 would not trade the Washing
ton club for the Cincinnati aggregation

A survey of the relative strength OF
the various amateur organizations
around the city seems to dope Capital
City the margin. Last season IL was
toss-up between Capital City and the
Departmental, with the Sunday School
League a close third. Both the Sunday
School and the DepaT mental have suf-
fered telling losses this season, and
while the new material which will DO
seen for the FIRST time may stack up
better than expected. il is hardly pos
sibie that the high standard set by the
Capital City organization viii be at
tanned by any of the other combinations
about the city. A change in the CLUB
roster has benefited the Capital City
League the Marines and Brookland
supplanting the Atlantics and Bloom
ingdale Both the new entrants are
acknowledged in the first rank and are
a big improvement over the mediocre
outfits presented last season by the two
teams which have since Withdrawn.
The preference is given the Capital City
League over the Departmental because
OF its drawing qualities, not only spec
tators but players. This organization
has the pick OF the amateur ranks and

A MESA PAUL REVERE.

Doc Byersdorfer has never posed as a bronco buster or even as ar extra good rider, but he made d rec | ord breaking ride recently which hai been described graphically by G $. l.:
 You oft have read and heard of whats said of the ride of Pau
 Revere. Who, brave and true, rode swift to dc for his country without fear; And of Sheridan, too, who at the
 front was due, when twenty
 miles away; How, booted and spurred, he quickly
 hurried to save the fortunes of
 the day.
 But what's the use of tiring our muse e?-those old heroes are
 long time dead. We have in our land, directly at
 hand, hero full worthy 'tis
 said
 Whose name is Doc. a Byersdorfer
 rock. who's alive from his head
 to his heels: Quiet is he, full of modesty, he desnt always tell what he
 feels.
 Doc wanted to ride manlike astride
 on the deck of an animal
 beast, So he was referred to what twas
 said was bird incapable of
 evil in the least. Yet
 When Doc sprang into the saddle,
 with legs well astraddle. and
 grabbed for the bridle and horn, He suddenly found that his limbs
 were around the meanest devil
 that ever was born. That bronc was alive as bees in a
 hive, and proceeded to get busy
 at once; With a snort and hump and a stiff
 legged jump. he made Doc dance
 like a dunce. He danced and he pranced as he
 madly advanced. and the mud
 widely spattered Till it certainly looked as though the
 rider was booked on the street
 to be scattered. With nimble feet and motions fleet,
 the bronc was off like a shot. And no care had he as he pressed on the bit. whether the man enjoyed it or not With evolutions cratic and convolu- tions emphatic, the wild steed
 grimly sought to dismay The man on his back and land him kersmack in the mud in the street by the way But the Byersdorfer grit n'er weak ened a bit: Doc chung to the saddle and rein. Till with breath all busted. and
 thoroughly disgusted. the bronc saw there was nothing to gain. And shamed and meek. it's sides all areek with lather and foam, It quietly trotted to a hitching post spotted. which it called a tenn
 porary home.
