The Hot Stove League.

Having received countless queries anent
the Het Stove League-what ii is and
when its season is on-we reproduce the
following explanation, taken from an ex-
change:
THE Hot Stove League is the sporting
section of the Ananias Club
Fifty per cent of its members are pre-
Varicators and the other SO per cent are
plain. unmitigated liars.
ITO become a member of the Hot Stove
League one must be a baseball fan with
an utter disregard for the truth, and a
siX-cylinder 120-horsepower imagination.
The Hot Stove League thrives only
during the winter months and turns out
a most virulent form of baseball dope
CailOused and unblushing. its members sit
around the stove and evolve tales that
make Edgar Poe and Jules Vernes look
like bushers from Glass D league.
mo man is sacred from their contami-
mating touch. Without a pang of con-
science they sentence Frank Chance to
manage Irkutsk in the Siberian League
and Connie Mack to play utility infield
in. Oskaloosa. With equal facility they
elect Horace Fogel president of the Ma
tiOnal League and make Charlie Murphy
an umpire. They purchase Oswald Pfiugg
from Albuquerque for S175OOo and trade
Ed Walsh for a chest protector ana a bat
boy.
Hot Stove League was caught in the act
of telling the truth. He was shot at SUM-
rise"

saying he gave the prisoners more
privileges than the other guards.
