THE GRAND OLD ALiBi.

Did you aver see a fielder d..
Muff an easy little fly,
And examine all the atmosphere
That's roaming in the sky? %
Sure, he knows that it's all up there,
Just as well as o or 1;
But he's laying the foundation .
For the Grand Old A!ibi. , g.
...j. .
Did you ever WaeCn a pitcher, D..
Send a wiue one DER the plate
That makes the catcher jump q mile,
And oftentimes too late?
He will carefully examine
Ev'ry wrinkle in his hand,
Just to give the Grand Old Alibi
A leg on which to stand.
Did you ever see q hitter
Take a mighty swing and miss,
Leaving nothing in the air but just
A faint and pallid hiss?
How he takes his bat beneath his arm
And rubs off all the dust,
For he realizes that with him
It's Alibi or bust. ...
Did you ever glimpse an easy ball
Go sneaking o'er the ground
And when they start to play it,
Watch it take a teasing bound?
How they trample down the pebbles
And all the mud In sight,
So the Alibi can start to work
And set the players right.
For really no one is to blame
When ev'rything goes wrong.
If circumstances but behave,
Why, life would be a song.
The man Is always perfect.
Or he knows the reason why,
And as generally apparent
In the Grand Old Alibi.

DANISH Fighters
Who ARE. FAMOUS

From a. number standpoint the Dane
has not played an important. part in the
making of pugilistic history, but when
the success of the Danish race Is taken
into consideration the, fact is plainly Ne
monstrated that few nations can claim
the honor Of having three flghting sons
such a select few who might be counted
or. the fingers Of a Mordacai Brown

The mention of three names is suffi-
cient evidence of what the Dane has
amounted to in the fighting game. and

to state that one of them was a worlds

claimant for the middle weight crown.

1t would be hard to find 9 more interest

Baseball Players Fraternity wishes 10
obtain real recognition and secure any
change in existing conditions it will
have TO follow the advice given 1t some
months ago and elect an actiVe pai'
player as it's head. Chairman HERMANN
of the National Commission, MADE the
official statement yesterday that the su-
preme court of baseball will not deal
with Davy Fultz, the present chiaI
executive of the fraternity. and VIII
pay no attention to any deHanos o.
Hermann added that the commission
will always be glad to listen to the
complaints or advice of ball players ana
will recognize the fraternity when IL IS
composed Of ball players only. but not
when 1t is represented by an outsider
who has not been in the game for many
years.
The ball players organization has Sc
cured nothing so far, largely on account
of the disfavor in which the methods
of President FultZ are held. Not only
the members of the commission. but
most OF the high officials Of baseball fail
to see why the players haye to choose a
New York lawyer az their head. They
believe that the athletes have perfect
right to organize and to do all they
can to better their present condition II
they can do So They are perfectly
willing to confer with players repre-
senting the fraternity at any time and
on any reasonable subject. but decline
to consider FultZ as ball player

II seems that the fraternity made Its
first serious mistake when 1t elected
