When "Beef" Beefs

AT this same game Beer was hold
ing forth in his own little way. This
bug warns up, the left field bleachers
at every game. He has a lovely in
growing face and nice messy teeth and
is otherwise happy. He was rightly
named for he spares neither players nor
audience when he starts his tea faster
wagging Los Angeles is the red flag
In his face and the dart in his side.
Any time he misses chance to say
something caustic to the players from
the south he swears off smoking, but so
far he never has had cause to put the
ban on Mrs. Nicotine and the little
Nicotines.
At this game Dillon was objecting
strenuously to third strike being called
on him. Some one remarked that he
would like to see Dillon hit the umpire.
Beef spoke up, $50 would I. Any time
@ boob can't hit the leather any better
than Ole Dillon has today he stands a
fine chance of connecting with Harp
like McCreavy." AsDillon walked back
to the bench after having the com
rade' ball administered to him. Beef
yelled to him, Look out, Doctor Osler
will gettcha If you don't watch out.
He's after a lot Of you old silver tops
with a can of chloroform.
Beef received a solar plexus blow
from an old man who was yelling for
Los Angeles ldleI on IN the game. 1l6
old fellow was telling the umpire how
many feet there were between the ball
and the player whom he had called out.
Beef took his nose out of a glass of
beer and said to the old man: You're
In wrong. Father Time; put on your
glasses" The old man came back with
this: I'D rather take chance with
the naked eye than the kind OF glasses

Charles Horatius Opens Up

a
On this day the cellar champions
were working over time trying to
reach water before the nine innings
were over. The only person who en-
joyed the game was the bat boy Of the
Sacramento team, as he seldom had
to pick up a bat along the first base
line. This team played like the sup
posed dark horse who turned around
and ran the other way to escape being
run over. Charles Horatius thought
that the Sacramento mascot was In fine
form, but he was being poorly support
ed by the rest of the team. AS the
game progressed baseball crimes were
being committed in rapid succession,
until one of the players forgot to use
his gray matter as rapidly as he was
paid to do. Then up spake Charles Ho-
ratius: Whats the matter, been out
in the alcoholic circles last night? You
want to take advantage of Friday and
eat some brainfood. What's your head
for. old glucose foot? Is 1t used to
keep your collar on, or just as a hat
rack? Believe me. dizzy one, you'll
never get arrested for exceeding the
speed limit for fast thinking. I'll bet
a stack of blonde money and put my
self liable to look for breakfast at
the Cheap and Ready, each Changing of

OF these babies think that they are
Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle
They ought to have their backs on the
feathers and the curtains down. They
seem to forget that the comet is play
ing night engagements now.
The pitcher was being hit so hard
that new man was substituted. Two
innings went by without a run being
scored on him, so one of the bugs ad-
joining our hero twitted him about the
new pitcher holding them down. What,
that HEAVIER hold 'em down? Yes, when
they commence picking feathers from

not so with Casey. He Is nons Of your
half hearted. Just out for the sunshine
bugs. He is alive and kicking at
every stage OF the game.
Casey even takes the 8 o'clock boat
over to Oakland on Sunday morning.
The only time I ever heard him object
TO this trip was during recent series
between Los Angeles and Sacramento.
He said. IT hate to see those chick

to send both those teams through

teams. III bet this badge that our

question covered the space on the lapel
of his coat that the other fraternal
pins did not cover. It could be used
either for a soup plate or chest pro-
tector. Among the other decorations
on the breast plate were silver women
with gold spears alongside bronze
bear with diamond eyes. Closer In

One of the quickest witted fans at
tending the games in San Francisco al
ways sits in the right hand side OF the
grandstand. He is addicted to the use
of glasses and red hair and Is as solemn
as priest But when he opens his lips
every one within the sound waves or MS
voice IS sure to bark. The stuff he gets
off is apropos of the occasion. Unfor-
tunately it does not bear transplanting,
but sounds better when 1T is fresh and
surrounded by all the circumstances
which gave 1t birth. This fan or bug
seldom misses game. According to
Hairlip Charley he would be classed as
a fan, for "any guy who'll scatter so
cents to-watch a game is no bug. The
line of demarcation in this case is the
same which separates vase from vase.
At recent game between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles some one re-
marked that the Angels pitcher had a
face. like a chicken. So when this
pitcher came to the bat he bunted the
ball and the solemn one said: Sure
he's chicken; see him lay one down"
AS the game progressed there were
many strikeouts on both sides and he
remarked that the back-to- bench
movement is strong today. Delmas was
up and had two strikes called on him.
He looked toward his bench and the
ian withaglasses was quick to notice 1t
and he said that Delmas had sent a
wireless to the bench. save a place for

When he misses any tricks among the

metropolis. The delicate magnetic in
struments OF the observatory are az
