natural that at least modest prepara-

now there isn't a weak spot in sight

Another game today with the

glory. Lee is the likely one to pitch

life into the men than the thorough
appreciation on the part of the fans

Harry Smith must be very happy
man these days. At the outset, 1t
was put right up to him to make
good and bring Newark home a win
line with the spirit of the demand
He always said rather modestly
that he would try to win the pen

Philadelphia is becoming a real
naughty baseball town. Fights on
the diamond are occurring with con-

game in Quakertown yesterday re-
suited in Umpire Byron being pursued
to the clubhouse by an angry mob OF
irate fans. The Quakers seem tc
have lost their dog entirely. For a
time they were following winning

the Phillies are losing and slumpins
and the fans appear unabie to con-
troll their peevishness.

Billy KLEIN would do most anything
to get his name in the papers He
has been known to even admit that
he might possibly have made poor

his career as an umpire. That is ar

Why, only yesterday Klein alone and
