Now comes Mr.. Hoblltzen. of Ctacin-
natl, who, pressed to contribute to the
General hllarity, spake as follows:
Twas at a game between two darky
teams in San Antonio. The pitcher on
the Jack Johnson's" was a bear in try
ing to pick runners of first base. He
tried to pick the star of the Sam
Langfords' off the pillow some twenty
straight times, but the runner slid back
In safety every time. Finally he was
caught on the old gag-the first base
man hiding the ball. and when the run
ner stepped OF the bag he was tagged.
'Nigger. you been mighty spTy around
dat base and comes near bein out a

injury about the time that Umpire Jack
Sheridan began having trouble with his
eyes. Sheridans case had been dag
nosed by an eve specialist, while Black
burne's physician had advised an oper-
alton on his knee. While unable to
play. BaCkbuTne was trying TO earn
his salary and was sent out to coach.
sheridan was working the bases and a
number of close decisions had gone
against the Sox on the paths early in
the game. Blackburne wanted to i'm
press the crowd with the fact that he
was in the game every minute, so when
Sheridan gave an unusually close de-
cision against the team he yelled THAT
eve specialist made a mistake, Jack
when he looked you over He should
have pronounced YOU stone blind
Coming from recruit this was not
I"r eUed by Sheridan but quick as a
fash he retorted: Yes, and II that
surgeon knows his business he will op-
crate on your head instead of your
knee" And Blackburne hilled back 10
the bench as fast as his lame knee
would let him.
