Her nose is tilted saucily; G>-@

Her hair is fixed so f1ossily-
Her charm in only one thing fails
The little girl who bites her nails.
'Tis but the flaw that goes to make
Her beauty the more ravishing,
Lest all the charms by some mistake
The gods on her were lavishing,
Who in her fairness Venus pales--
The little girl who bites her nails.
For, were perfection there displayed,
Shed be too fair to look upon
A goddess not for mems eyes made
For bards to write book upon:
The human touch ones heart assails--
The little girl who bites her nails.

SPORT LETTER

New Work, Aug. 9.-Although the
concluding games of the major league
baseball season are still two months
away, interest in the pennant races is
| already oVershadoWed by the possibil-
tiles Of play in the worlds series. This
unusual situation in the camp of the
national sport is due entirely to the
runaway race being made by the lead
ing teams In the National and Ameri-
can leagues. Not in some years have
such wide margins separated the first
and second clubs in both major asso
Citations at this stage of the pennant
races. There have been several exam

one or the other of the two big leagues
but simultaneous and sustained spurts

Giants and Athletics are unusual
glance back over. the records of
past few years shows that as a rule
where one league had leader well
out In front the struggle for the other
pennant was close and the outcome
uncertain at this period of the season.
While the Athletics and Giants are
leading their respective leagues bv an
proximately a Hotpoint margin over
the runner-up, the 1912 records show
the Boston Red Sox had but half that
advantage and the Giants about three
quarters of their present margin. In
the National league New York had
won seventy-two and lost twenty-sey-
en- games for percentage of 1877 on
Aug. 8. The Chicago Cubs were trail
ing second eighty seven points in the
rear, with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
holding third and fourth places. The
American league standing showed
Boston to have won seventy-one and
lost thirty-fiv games, with Washing
ton second with sixty-five and forty
giving Jake Stahls Red Sox a lead Of
nifty points. The Athletics were still
in the race and the Chicago White Sow
had an outside chance from fourth
place.
