let out to Kansas City for a little more
seasoning.
Yohe made himself popular with the
players. and was universally liked.
George Mcbride tells the following story
on Yoae:
That youngster was all TO the good.

with the Yankees on the present trip,
had the following 70 say Of the Nationals
in hts Saturday paper:
The Washington club is not easy pick

ono game, but there is no doubt that he
Will be sent back In the last game OF
the series.
Jack Quinn has always been successful
against the Washington club. and II was
his two hits that sent the Yankee runs
across the platter. For a pitcher. Quinn
is a mighty good hitter. and as said be-
fore. the Hill Tops pitching STAFF was
never working any better.
Washington never was so mad about
the game as 1t IS this season. 4 big
crowd turned out yesterday and was
bowling for their team. The baseball
situation looks much brighter IN the
Capital City than It has for many years.

Lotus put so much life into our team
that we beat St. Louis to 2. don't

That night Comiskey and LOTUS sat
at the same table down at the Hawley

keenly, and when he came out Of the
dining-room he walked straight I'D to the
desk and said 10 me:
What's the matter with Commy?' he
asked.
