We Learned About Scoring From Him.
apologies to R. Kipling. =
We've taken the game. as we found 1t,
And marked down the boobies and
blows,
But never time have We pleased
them,
Although we have tried, goodness
knows.
Now each little day as II passes.
Brings with it some knowledge and
vim,
For each single bug calls US out on
the rug
And we learn about scoring from him.
Take Patsy MCGUIRE for example.
Now Patsy's double-dyed fan.
Who knows a base hi. from an error
And change his mind nobody can.
Just as fair sample Of scoring.
Jesse Runser touched one on the
rim,
"An error" said Pat-then he mark
ed 1t like that.
And we learned about scoring from
him.
Now Freddie Golightly's another:
He goes to game now and then,
lie gives the box score the once over.
And finds hits amounting to zen
Now surely" says he, your mis-
taken,
About that hard clout that hit
Jim.
Though 1t broke his knee. it's an
error from me-"
And we learned about scoring from
him.
Some day, by the beard Of the prophet
We're going to try hard and score,
A game that will please everybody;
And not make single one sore
But when this hard task we accomp-
lish
This curious, pet little within,
We'd like ev'ry fan to be there to the
man,
And wen learn about scoring from
him.
He deserves better.

No Peace for Landlubbers Till
i. Yacht Races are Over

Just put it down that Jack Johnson
cares about as much for tnat champ
ionship title as he does for both his
eyes and his two legs. His pride in
the title is exactly like .he pride of
the average down south darby Of his
glaring lodge regaiia on parade.
Johnson Wants to Win.
Jack Johnson, with supernatural
ance of confidence and conceit, will
tote into that fight on June 81, every
thing he has in the way of defense
and punch. Johnson knows the jeers
and howls of deligh. that would arise
from some S0,0v0,000 American throats
should Moran slip over sleep-pro-
Queer.
Johnson also knows and realizes
that IL he goes in and fights like the
big black that humbled Jeffries at
Reno, and wins, he will have 1t said
of him in spite Of his disgusting
morality, or rather lack Of it, that he
is grand fighter. For tina. much of
his makeup fight lovers will hold adj
miration. Once more take the tip that
Jack Johnson will fight with all that's
in him.
Moran Above the Average.
Just how much is left in Johnson
after year of Paris life and Paris
debauches,. remains for Frank Moran
to discover. Moran is far above ..le
average fighter in intelligence and In
tellect. Better, he is pretty good
two-fsted fighting man. But Moran's
Intelligence and superior intellect has
made him map out a course, and car
ry it through 20 the best OF his abil-
fly.
Moran has no idea that he will have
1t easy for a minute. He believes, on
the other hand, and many others hold
the same theory. that Jack Johnson
will furnish Moran with a lot OF
trouble In the first half of The battle.
Moran wants only to last that long.
After that, he says, he expects
Johnson's condition to begin to show
and to furnish the chance for him to
bring the title back to America on q
white mans heau.

Good Game All Around.

The game was the kind that seems
to please Indian fans. Good fielding
on the part of both teams, and good

When doing up fine curtains the
weight alone of the heavy work often
tears the curtain To avoid this, take
cheesecloth that has been shrunk, or
old sheets sewed together. on which
carefully haste the curtains. After
shaking out the dust, soak in cold
water. Put in suds and boil. Gently
lift up and down In the water. Rinse
in several waters, the last slightly
blued for white curtains, or stained
with coffee for ecru. Put through the
wringer; never wiring by hand. Set
up the stretcher, and after doubling
your curtain To find the center, com
mence to pin on from center to out
side. Keep the curtains constantly
wet while pinning on, or they may
tear. Four curtains may be pinned
on at once so keeping all pairs pre-

be added to the last rinsing water If
