Does the Old Sport good to get back
in the game with the kids.
Soon he will be limbering up for
those Imperial champions-to-be.
Provided OF course, Charley Welsh,
Furney Cole and Ed Tucker think he
can come back.
Harry Mccall is sorry When he
signed up as a Chick he neglected to
have inserted in his contract a clause
allowing him to carry his own UNI
pire.
Jack McGowan is hittin' EN- over
the fence just now. If he gets into
the game this year as an ump he'll

For want of something better 10 dc
doc" Miller and win" Campbell OF
the Pilgrims have had their heads
shaved close at Augusta. They are
trying to coax Hickory" Jackson tc

with billiards that a billiard ball
outfield may appeal to him.
There are FIVE. Jobs wide open fo
Chick recruits.
The tip comes from Mobile tha
Manager McGraw has decided to re
tain Pitchers -TesTau and Maxwell Il
help out the regular boxmen and VII
