WHY LEAVE HIM IN?

A Washington fan, inclined t o
rhyme, makes answer to a few vers-
es recently published Gliding the
man who clamors Take Him Out,
when a pitcher is losing. He admits
he yells Take Him Out" and thus
makes his defense:
So I'm triple-plated cheese,
A piffling sneaking snide-
Foolmaniac, if you please,
Whom all good folks deride.
They class me as yellow cad
A futile, vicious lout
Since that sad day when Bill went
bad
And l yelled, Take him OUT"
know he tried with all he had
Rut that was not enough.
So why not lift him for a lad
Who might display the stuff? .
Any guy whose goods are musty
Must step right down and out,
And has no right to get crusty
When you holler, Take him OUT"
'Tis thus we find it throughout life
In all its varied dealings.
Those who mingle in the strife
Can't stop to spare ones feelings.
It's touch to pass one who has stood
Valiant on the verge of rout,
But when it's for the general good
Take him out! Take him out!

The trouble in the. Balkan states
will prevent the participation of Brit

Walter H. Duppe, a polo player of
Los Angeles and Coronado, it became
known today, has received a cable

Eouncing that he and other British
players, including Lord Reginald Her.

have participated in polo tournaments
in California two winters, would be
unable to come this season.
