OUR YOUNG .oUrHPAw.


Our little side-wheei vingcr,
Quite consistent . hinger
When he steams the ban across the nesf-iscp1es;
And each batter gets a-thinking.
Each star player wildly blinking
Becsuse the ball seems like the sword Of Damocles;
For our own Joseph Boehhng
Has their heads mentally rolling
When he slams the sphere to these whom he
opposea
And the band within his Hdlet
Never stretches when this kidlet
II after he gets roasted he gets roses
His tactics in the pitchers boz show that our Joes
His erstuhile winters discontent win soon be sosi-
summer.
30 take this timely tip. dear fan. when the season
knell 10 tolling.
The least praised Of our s,abmen won't contain the
name Of Boehang.
Had Germany Schaefer been coaching
on the third base lines yesterday the
Nationals would have won the game
against the White Sox. The Teuton has

the ninth was due more to the big fell

Chicago White Sox this afternoon and
Jim Scott or Buck O'Brien will doubt

As Rube Marquard. OF the New York
Giants, failed to win his tenth straight
game yesterday and will be forced to
start all over again. johnson has only to
land a victory this afternoon to equal
the major league record this season, held
by Joe Boehling with eleven consecutive
wins.
Grifiith believes that Cashion is des-
tined to become a great hitter some day.
which Is the reason he sent the Caro-

Cashion came through with a single
in the ninth, and IL he should happen to
develop a hitting streak he would be of
great value to the Nationals at this
stage OF the race.
