REMAINS ANOTHER DAY
IN LYNCF1BURG TO WIN A GAME

One more game in Lynchburg and

headed by the naughty Shaughnessy.
That Is there will be one more game
il the weather permits. 1T did not per-
nit Tuesday. SO there we're only two
games In the Virginia State League
circuit on that date.
Aa'a result of those games Rich
mond gained a bit on the Tigers. The
Shaughnessy outfit was beaten by
Danville. although Draper. the great
little portpaw Of the Roanoke team,
was In the box. Hanks pitched great
bail for the Red Legs. and the men
behind him found Draper often
enough to get a man around in every
inning except three.
In Norfolk was a drawn battle,
Hamilton. of Petersburg, having one
of his good days. Finneran appears
to be gong well for the Tars. for he
held the Petersburg boys safe after
the first inning.
Anyway, Richmond hasn't lost
game thus far on the present trip.

away a couple of weeks ago at his

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

Our eyes are thick for slumber and our
brains are tired and stale,
Nerves we have none TO speak Of yet,
we never dare fail.
There are always cries for copy" and
they never cry in vain,
For the Press's need is cruel and recks
not Of our pain.
Through the endless summer evening
when we should be with our
wives
We are endlessly recording all the tales
Of other lives.
We recount the deeds Of heroes. there
are new ones every day,
Or are reveling in scandal for-about
a Transfers pay.
We greet the new-hedged statesman,
self important, green. elate,
We clink glasses with good fellows. yet
we've got to keep our head,
For the scandals OF the living and the
virtues Of the dead.
There are some that seem to envy the
positions that we hold.
To think that our typewriters are Ike
pens Of beaten gold.
For we still keep happy faces-though
our homes we seldom see,
And the smiles of wife and children
are denied to such as we.
But I guess we'll keep on going, take
assignments, do the work,
We may loaf, or drink or gamble, but
our tasks we may not shirk,
For it's in our blood-the fever-and
we die off one by one
But the Press goes on forever. for its
work is never done.
