 Taking his eyeglasses from his pock- ct and putting them carefully upon his nose the Senator fixed the girl with a glance that nailed her to the mast, and frigidly replied:
 Madam. there is no Mrs. Burton.

SOx enthusiasts call the two the
fastest pair that ever worked
around second base. Both are
young. both cover territory like run

Although the season is what

-Kippert in center and Freddie
Weed out in the right of the pas
ture with the sun full in his face,
while on the home grounds, it
would be hard to find a faster and
more imposing array of players.
Therefore, it is seen that the most
of the fault lies in the remainder of
the team.
Lou Nordyke is not showing up
the same gilt edge brand of class
that he did last summer at the first
sack and too many hits are being
allowed to leak through the infield.
OF course this, the first series, just

Cartwright's proper place is right
where he is now, at second base.
However, he could stand a little
more speed and care in playing his
part. but he is showing up good.
The same applies to Granville,
who is being played at shortstop.
AS a rule his playing will pass in
spection as to speed and accuracy
but his stick work is woefully to
the bad. Flood shows up about as

When Murphy bunts, and gets to

We cheer his feat with pride;
The ball twists slowly down the line
And never rolls outside.
When Casey makes a sacrifice,
His deftness moves us ALL
But, oh, the real hi-hi-ing comes
When Mooney stings the ball!
For Mooney has nervous way
OF handling his bat;
The pitchers have to watch his
eyes,
They don't know where they're
at.
He's up there ready with his stick
Upon the sphere to fall,
And, oh, the crowd let's out a yell
When Mooney stings the ball!
Yes, Mooney was designed by fate
To make the pitchers mourn;
The foxy inshoots and the wides
He lets pass by with scOrn.
He stands. regardless of the crowd,
The strikes or umpire's call,
Until the sphere floats DER the
plate
Then Mooney stings the ball!
1t moves us when the center field
Pulls down the fly he's cursed;
1t thrills us when the shortstop's
throw
Cuts off man at first.
But, oh, the fierce excitement when,
The bases filled, we all
Leap up, and howl, and dance and
