Mcconnell is one OF the oddities of

About the only satisfaction TO that
shut out ia the final game IN New York
by to is that St Louis also got an
awful walloping from the Chicago
White Sox. This is meager comfort and
spells another little jest we had in mind
10 spring in case Washington won and
st. Louis lost. but we are willing to
let the jest go as long as the Browns
did not increase their lead over the Ma
tionals.
Now that they are through with
Washington the Yankees may be ex-
pected TO slump.
Walter johnson got his in a bunch.
When Washington can't win working
with its best pitcher in the box against
a team that has hitherto made habit
of curling up and playing dead as soon
as that pitcher appeared then indeed
are the evil days at hand and no man
knoReth what to 90. Johnson was the
last chance for the Nationals TO make
j showing on the final day that would
prevent their record in Gotham from
appearing absolutely foolish but he fell
with the rest Of his countrynen, despite
the assiduous care his fiinging wing is
supposed TO have received from Trainer
Eddinger. There apparently is no more
hope. and not a fan could be found to-
day who was willing TO forego a fishing

MY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: As I am

teenth birthday. Some people think thirteen an
unlucky number and II certainly was for me on
that day.
While I was exploring the premises came to a
small brook. The water very clear, and l
leaned over 1t to watch the goldfish. when sud-
denly I lost my balance and fell, splash, into tho
brook As the trunks had not come yet, had to
sit in the to dry off.
Seeing some daisies in a field. decided to pick
them So climbing the stone wall was soon in
the field Besides the daisies there small
herd of cows in this field and also q frisky young
bull. He didn't like being there. so he I'M
rnedateIy began to chase me. Very much fright
ened l ran for the wall with all sorts OF terrible
tales about bulls in my mind. Reaching Il
scrambled to the top, the bull almost at my heels
and I dropped down the other side 1t was a case
of "out of the frying pan into the fire." for
Jumped into a nest OF wild bees. How they stung!
raced home. screaming for help. Mother plastered
the stngs with mud which took the pain out, but
left me swollen almost beyond recognition. For
the rest OF the day l content to stay in tho
hammock. Well, must close now, as 1 fear this
letter is too long already. Sincerely,
