if necessary, additional troops would be

He does not intend to have Texas troop

Is baseball about to lose one OF its
greatest players?
Although the owners Of the Pitts
burg Pirates are trying to minimize
the facts, there is little doubt that Hans
Wagner. great shortstop. is out of the
game perhaps for half this season and
possibly for all time. He has bad
floating cartilage on his knee.
Efforts at osteopathic cure having
failed, Wagner is to be operated on by
New York surgeon at the expense
of the club, but the success of the
operation is problematical If it fails,
Honus is done with active partcipa-
ton in baseball. Even if 1t succeeds,
there is a grave question as to how
much longer he can stand the wear
and tear Of the game.
Wagner Is one of the Oldest players
actively engaged in baseball, and many
consider him the greatest, not only Of
the present time, but OF all time. For
all his sixteen years of big league ser
vice he has consistently batted over
800, never falling below .305 and one
wear rising to $50. For many years
he led the National league batters.
Last year he was the best fielding
shortstop in the league.
His absence, temporarily or perma-
nently, will seriously cripple the
Pirates and lessen considerably the
force of the hopes they had of win
ming the pennant this year.

And oh. that Charlie Miller!
The cutest one of all
No use to try and catch fly
When Charlie hits the ball.
And then McGill, our new man,
He hasn't been here long,
But if we ever trade him off
You'll know there's something wrong.
Then Jewell plays on second,
Some batter too. say!
But where he features oftenest
Is in double play.s
And here's to dear little Harris,
Our little short so feet,
In stealing sacks and sliding home,
He surely can't be beat.
And now for Pinch Hit Gudger,
As a pitcher too he's great,
When the Snappers have a man on
third,
He'll send him cross the plate.
Then Burmeister, our dear old Bur
Who pitched last year, the same,
He wins new laurels every day.
And is on the road to fame.
And now there's Giant Kirby,
Though he hasn't pitched as yet.
When Jimmie sends him to the mound
It'll be "no-hit,'' I bet.
Last on the list comes Townsend,
Lean and lanky, he's on tne job,
Some speed has he in that ball of his
And his curves would fool Ty Cobb.
And now our husky baseball team
That rag We'll surely win,
And when they do, we all will cry,
Three cheers for Manager JIM"

Jimmy Archer's famous squat
throw is due to an injury. His throw
ing arm was badly crippled by being
scalded from waist to shoulder, an
accident that drew the cords of the
elbow in such a way that he could
not straighten his arm. This ham
pered Archer's making a free throw
with full swing of the arm and after
lot of practice he devised the snap
of the wrist throw with which he has
caught so many runners in the past

Our Pensacola Snappers
Are a. long way in the lead.
And as everybody knows,
Are the best team in the league
At first our only object was
To make old Jackson lose,
We wished to occupy first-piace,
And stand in Jackson's shoes.
And now that we are on the top,
On top we mean to stay,
For II we start to losing now
The rag won't come this way.
Columbus, Meridian and Selma,
We played and won our games;
But defeating Jackson and Clarksdale
Won for us our fame.
So now our team, the Snappers,
One by one, I'll name,
And tell you something of the boys
Who win so many games.
First comes Manager Jimmie.
He hops around on third,
The teams success is due to him,
OF q better I've never heard
Next on the list is Hauser,
Some catcher too, is Mike;
No ball can get away from him,
He holds them all too tight.
And then we come to Berger.
He's beef trust" sure enough,
But when it comes to playing first,
That Berger is the stuff.
Big Benn is sure some pitcher,
He pitches on Ladies Day.
And in pulling out of pinches
Has no equal, so they say.
