ST|NCY JOE CHABEK
WINS FROM TIGERS
Cockill Crew in the Game With
Barrels of Ginger;
Score, So

Once more Joe Chabek, Harris
burg's veteran pitcher was stingy
with his hits and Trenton was the
loser. Harrisburg chalked up a score
of to =, Zeke Wrigley's boys got
lost in the steam fog when Chabek's s
speedy curves passed over the plate.
1t was the second time in a week
that Chabek let his opponents down
with three bingles. Those Chabek
pills were also good for stiff joints as
Trenton's sluggers performed all sorts
of contortions in going after the ball
After Trenton had tailed in the first,
there was nothing to the game but
Harrisburg.
Whalen was again the star for
Cockill's crowd. Charley" Miller
continues in the game as winning
factor, and Mccarthy and Crist We're
prominent in fast fielding.

Lightweight champion of the world,
who is being accused of suffering from
bad case of cold feet, because of his
seeming reluctance to sign up for a
fight with Freddie Welch, the Eng
lish champion. Welch has been on
Ritchie's trail for a long time, and
his victory over Leach Cross made it
impossible for Ritchie to ignore his
challenges any longer. Ritchie, how
ever, has asked such an enormous
sum for his end in agreeing to fight
Welch that there is little possibility
of seeing the two in the same ring.

There was a fish
Who grew too fat:
He worried much
And grieyed thereat;
To train and bant
He did not fail;

He had to give.
He ate one fly,
Though strange 1t sounds
His weight at once
Increased two pounds.

STANDING OF CLUBS
Georgia State League.

A slow drizzling rain that refused
even to let up long enough to allow
Umpire Falkenberry to announce the
batteries, put the kibosh on yester-
days game with the Cordele Babies. A
double header will be played today
The first game will begin at 2:3O.
In spite of the threatening weather,
large crowd of fans turned out in
hopes that the rain would check and
the boys stage the game. Although
Dollar Donation Day" was rained out
nice sum was realized for the club.
The Dollar Day tickets will be good to
today's double header.
Managers Reagan and CASTOR are
going to play their best cards in to-
days game. Reagan will use F1llen-
gem and Walden against the Mucka-
lees. Bob Geary and Mel Pratt will
work for Americas.
The first game will be called at 2:3O
and the fans will have a chance to see
classy games. A clean sweep for
either team will help their pennant
hopes. An even break will let things
stand as they are. The Muckalees are
In trim for the two games and Dave
and his boys are going to win them
both or we'll be nightly mistaken.
Help them cop those two by coming
out and helping them make a noise.

The Babies resemble the Muckalees
of old. With Griffin, Huffman, Brouth-
ers and Dacey on the club, they are
dependent to a large degree on for
mer Muckalees. Dave CASTOR has bet
ter men than he released and the
Muckalees stack up stronger than
