two schools that have always held
high rank in athletics, were displaced

discus throw and running high jump.

next with 1912 points, all made by
one man-Brown.
In The boys declamatory contest,
VIM. Huff qualified Of Pennington and
spoke Friday night in the finals. Altho
one judge voted for him for first
place and another second place, the
vote Of the five judges did not give
him even third place medal,
The winners in this contest were

And now the leather-covered Spnere
Came whirling through the air,
And GaDdil stood a-watching 1t
In naughty grandeur there;
Close by the sturdy batsman
The ball unheeded sped;
THAT amt my style,' growled Gandil:
Strike one O'Loughlin said.
From the jury box, black with rooters.
There went up thund'rous roar,
Like the rumblings of Niagara,
Zambezi and some more.
XIII 'em-kill dat rotten Jump
Shouted some one from the stand.
And it's likely they'd have killed him
Had the Scouts not been on hand.
With a smile of Christian charity
Nick A1trock's visage shone:
He pulled his famous knockout" stunt
And babe the game go on.
While counting ten above the foe
Once more the spheroid dew,
But Gandl still ignored it
And O'Loughlin cried Strike tub"
"Traud.'' yelled the maddened thousands,
And the echo answered fraud,
But one scornful look from Schaefer
Und der audience vas awed.
They saw Chicks face grow stern and cold,
They saw Chicks muscles strain.
And they knew that Gandil wouldn't
Let that ball go by again.
And Gandil at the bat,
Most pitchers would have let him walk,
All fans are wise to that.
But Joseph Wood always made good
When he worked the Casey feat:
He thought. IF l should strike Chick OUT.
Would that be indscreet:''
He sisnaled then to Carrigan.
Here's where / rise to fame,
But their wireless powerless
At this stage of the game.
Joe knew that il was up 10 him
TO play the leading role;
He heard the gang a-yellins.
But twas music to his soul.
He saw the crouch on Gandil's face.
The CLEAN in Gandil's eye.
And then resolved. ..ri strike him out:
IN do it or III die
The sheer is gone from Gandil's lip,
His teeth are clinched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence
His bat upon the plate.
And now Ioc Wood conceals the ball.
And now he let's it go.
And the Red Sox fade away
By the. force OF Gandirs blow.
A whack crack and out through space
The leather pellet ficw.
A blot against the distant sky,
speck against the blue.
Above the sign in deep right field
In rapid, whirling hight
The sphere sailed on. the blot grew d:n,
And then went out OF sight.
Ten Thousand hats uere thrown in air,
The comedians threw fit,
But one ever found the ball
The mighty G.ndll hit.
They carried Chick around the field.
Tie band struck UP an air
don't remember what they played
And no one seemed to care.
They cared for Chick and Chick alone,
They cared FOR nothing more:
The Nationals won. the Red Sox lost,
The score WIS ) 10 4:
All over dear old Washington
The sun is shining bright,
The bands are playing everywhere,
The Pennant Is in Sight"
The Old Fox has predicted
We will win that Gag next fall,
But there's no JOY in Beantown since

feat against the Reds. Nearly ten years
later, on September IS. 1897, he witnessed
Cy Young. pitching for Cleveland. hold
Biddy himself and his entire team hitless.
On the other hand, Biddy saw two of
the pitchers he SO faithfully supported
shut-out their opponents without hit,
and in both cases the Pittsburghers were
the victims. Charles (Bumpus) Jones did
it October Is, 1882, in the very last game
of the season. Bumpus had just been
obtained from the Atlanta team and this
was the only game he pitched for the
Reds in 1892. He was with the Reds
in 1893, but in June he was released to
the New York Giants, who two months
later released him to the Providence
club. and then he dropped out of base
ball altogether. His holding the Pirates
to no hits was flash in the pan, but 1t
goes as a record all the same. He did
not shut-out the Pirates i'll the matter

Reds. Mark Baldwin pitched for the
Pittsburghs In that no-hit game.
Pirates Fail to Connect.
The second Cincinnati pitcher to shut
out a team without a hit was Theodore
Breitenstein, who April q. 1898. held
the Pirates to no hit. This time the
Pirates did not succeed in getting a run.

the Reds. In that game Charles Hast
ings was the Pittsburgh pitcher.
The. Cincinnati club in 1882 won the
championship of the American Associa-
ton, and it is the only championship it
ever won.- In 1890 the Reds rejoned the
National League. in which organization
they never finished higher than third
place.
McPhee in 1900 resigned from the Gin
cinnati team but in 1901 was persuaded
to accept the managership of the Reds.
He did so, but in the middle of the sea-
son resigned. and has since been in Sc
clusion as far as base ball is concerned.

gave him such licking that his man
ager, such as he had, discarded him upon
the ways of the cruel world as hopeless.
In vain did George seek a manager. He
couldn't get fight without one, and none
would have him. No one wanted such
a ''ham.'
Poor Chip had hard time of it. A
man must eat, you know. and so did
George-but how? That was the question
that worried him twenty-four hours of
the day-for many days. He digested his
meals through his eyes. 1t didn't cost
anything to stand outside a restaurant
and look in, anyway. He grew SO thin he
cut his clothes.
But the Madison miner persisted. He
managed to go along by himself getting
a battle now and then, but ended up by
being TX. o. by Buck Grouse. That
ignominy nearly broke his heart and he
resolved to so back to the mines again.
Then he met Jimmy Dime. the well
known manager of Newcastle. Dime saw
his possibilities and gladly took him I'M
