The subject of birthdays, introduced by
Meb, is proving interesting. Another M.
B., valued friend of mine who has not
had the pleasure of making many personal
acquaintance among the nieces, writes
me:
Dear Mrs. N.
saw in last weeks M. B. that Aunt Maria
and Mrs. L. NJ. Bower had birthdays Jan. A.
Want to say that my birthday is Jan. A. l do
not know who they are, but if did. would
send them card. You can say what you
wish in the NJ. B. about this m. b. b.. Best
wishes to you for the year.
Yes, you thought right about whom Aunt
Maria might be. On account of r. F. D.,
her mail goes to East Holden.
My dear M. B. Sisters:
What funny winter. Now like cold and
snow in the season for it, but must take it
when it comes. Hear it said on all sides
show good the column has been since the re-
union.p
Was glad to hear from Meb again. Hope
she will sell that big farm and come to Maine
and canvass for hair tonic; will take the frst
bottle. How funny news travels. The ques-
ton about the color of white hens legs was
sent from California to me, then placed in our
column, and answered from way down in
louisiana, and our California friend gets her
answer in her AMERICAN. Now. Anna. you
should surely write a note of thanks to the
column for such valuable help.
Had one Of Aunt Maria's good newsy letters
last week. oh. Aunt Maria, what did you do
when you recommended the president of the
Hancock County W. G. T. U. to use alcohol for
erysipelas in her face? Suppose some
should getinto her mouth! Don't do it again.
Well, had my hrst case in court Dec IL, as

Well, we are all glad toenter into the year
1913, for we have good reason to believe some
OF the rum shops in the State will have to
close and the many gambling devices will be
removed, SO our boys and girls will not be so
tempted to spend every penny for the fun Of

Jim Vaughn, the well-known come
back, and George Pierce, who is just
arriving. Cheney, HUMPHREYS and
Stack are his right-handed reliances.
And Manager John believes they are
all star pitchers-under certain con-
ditions.
He is certain to give one of his left
handlers a job of work in the civil
war, but there is no doubt as to how
said southpaw will be received by the
South Siders. Against a >left-hander
Callahan will have only two wrong
side batsmen-Lord and ChappeH-
in the game. This is usually consid-
cred a big handicap for the off-side
beavers. -.-..
Vaughn has been very effective
against ST. Louis and Brooklyn, both
teams being well stocked with left
handed batters. He was trimmed by
the Giants. Few of McGraw's hire
ings swing from the first-base side
of the plate.
And there's the dope, take it for
what it is worth. Cheney and Hum
phries should be strong against the
Galatians. Stack should give a good
account of himself. But how will the
left-handers fare? Find an easier
question. ~
Day, the demon dopist, must have
become lost in one Of his private day
dreams. He wises us to the fact that
Manager Jake Stallingsis here today
with his Boston Red Sox. ;.
Maybe George wants to be called
Jake. But a guy named Jake with a
name similar to Stallings got the
hook in Boston not long ago.
Manager Callahan Of the White
Sox today thinks Connie Mack of the
Athletics is one of the finest fellows
connected with baseball. All on ac-
count Of Joe Benz.
Several weeks ago it was reported
that waivers had been asked on Benz.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-09-17

Benz might have been relegated to
the American Association.
If this had happened good pitch
er would have been lost to the SoX.
Since the waiver rumor Benz has
been pitching almost on par with
Russell, Cicotte and Scott, which is
praise enough for any man. He has
the hard luck common to any pitch
er working for team whose leading
batter is lowering around the .270
mark, to which must be added the
handicap of slow baserunning.
Benz should have won yesterday.
He undoubtedly would have if he had
been hooked against any other pitch
er but Walter Johnson. For six and
two-thirds innings he held Washing
ton hitless. In that time his mates
had provided him with one run as
working margin. And they failed to
swell the total in the entire nine
frames.
Joe could not keep up his terrific
pace and Washington pushed home
pair of runs, the last in the ninth
inning. This is the second time this
year Benz has battled Johnson, and
on each occasion he has forced the
National smoke artist to go the limit.
The first battle was on the South
Side. Washington only got one run,
but johnson BANKED the Sox.
johnson right now is practically
unbeatable if his team gives him a
run. He is at the top of his game,
showing the best brand of puzzle
work exhibited since he broke into
the big show. Six hits were made
off him yesterday and II Sox famed.
Not pass was issued by Big Walter.
