Its Quite the Right Thing, These
Days, to Take a Slam at lawn
/, J. McGraw.

o'" r. s, n s, rss eSs sssS. Co
n you want to DO In tho fashion.
take . punch at Jawn Mc0raw.
Everybody's dom II. A few years
from now tho ball player who hasn't
clipped Jawn on the lower maxiilsry
- least once will have missed one
Of the stock experiences Of . baseball
artists career.
Funny. . few years ago Il was
Jawn We read about. slipping over
that sleeping potion and delivering
the wariike challenges. Has Mac lost
his punchf Or Is his Judgment Of
time and distance a little or That's
the way all the groat champions slip
hack whom age gets them In his grip.
Or II Il all q matter OF weight. JEFF.
sriss. Young Corbett. Mccoy. . lot
Of great old timers. found that In.
0easing embonpoint, that plumpness.
that fatal obesity or corpulency. that
added protuberance Of too. too solid
nssh. q terrible handicap In their
dstic frolics.
A new rule IL needed In baseball.
Il should DO q capital ofYenss for any
able bodied ball player to hit lawn,
especially from behind. notice that
IN accounts Of these ARRAYS they al.
ways hit him from q position at least
two PAGES In tho rear. Coming ND di.
rectly. behind a man and hitting him
on the nose should not DO counte-
nAnced In any civilized community.
You know what Jawn ought to do?
He should wear tenders. II q board.
ing net were added behind II might
helm.
Anyhow. IT'S . shame to hit Jawn
1c0raw. Some time he might forget
himself and hit back.
