Oh, you Rippy!
Rippy Williams enjoyed his busy
day at the old ball yard yester-

a triple, scoring Foster and

a homer that sent Harper and
Milan over ahead of him. Yep,

Zigzag Year.

AS far back as We can recall details,
baseball has never seen such a zigzag
year, where so many clubs looked like
world heaters one week and like stuffed
prunes the next.
1t may be the golden glow from all
the bullion the Feds are haunting
against the horizon has worked the
quivering athletes into a fever with a
touch OF the pip. We can think of no
other cause

The White Sox started the fashion.
They began by winning double hand
full of games, and then. just when the
cheering was loudest, they proceeded to
blow apart and drop something like ten
out Of twelve.
The Pirates came next. They won
fourteen out of sixteen in their first
rush, and when the hoarse huzZas OF
the home populace were rocking the
rafters. they suddenly wheeled about end
dropped fifteen out of seventeen, TO show
they were just as swift in one direction
as in another.
Grif and his Nationals put across the
next smear when they took terrible

drop four straight in Cleveland. where
Washington has always been supreme.
who. after plunging headlong into Sec
ond place, have tossed on thirteen Of
their last fifteen games, and have start
ed for the bottom even faster than they
ever whizzed on toward the top.
Why a ball club good enough to fight
its way into the lead or into second
place should suddenly develop such
amazing weakness as to lose nine-tenths
OF its games for a stretch of several
weeks Is beyond our narrow, limited ken.
There Is probably an answer, but We
clubs who haven't caved in badly at
one time or another have been the
Giants and Mackmen. They haven't
been playing the greatest ball ever
shown. but they have been plugging
steadily along. restraining any slump
to a brief interval and thereby holding
the lead No fast pace has put them at
the top. but a steady jog has been suf-
ficent against so many horrible detona-
tons in rival camps.

Or Don't You?
One by one the players jump,
Bidding old-time homes adieu;
One by one admissions slump
/ don't care, do you?

We'd be sorry to see II II II were not
for the fact that In the end cleaner
and a better game will come from all
the tangle. BY that time We believe
both magnate and player will have &C
quired some additional information. viz:
That the game Is bigger than both OF
them. Or. are we extreme optinists In
believing that such information will last
over a fortnight once matters get ad-
justed again?
Some day Moran will be champion of
the world writes william A. Brady.
And some day we will write a greater
poem than "Gray's Elegy" or "1nvtc-

or years, or even centuries, but when 1t
happens-well, some day Is right.

Are You Wise to the Fact

That Brooklyn has scored fewer runs
than any other club in the National
League?
That the Yanks have scored fifty
runs less than any other team in either
circuit?
That Pittsburgh has made fewer hits
than any other club in the National
League?
That the Red Sox have made more
hits than any other club in either
National or American and that the
Mackmen have scored more runs?
That the Southern League race ID the
closest ever known in baseball?
That the St. Louis Nationals have
made more hits than any other Ma
tional League rival?
Or. being thrust adjacent to all this
extra knowledge, are you any more
grateful to us than you were before?

negro eX-convict, has filed a petit
ton with the County Board asking for
$1,000 damages, alleging that while
confined in the county chaingang he
contracted blood poisoning as re-
suit of the inhuman treatment he re-
ceived. Green asserts that he was
sentenced on November IS, 1913. to
eight months in the changing. They
took him to the Bellwood camp, and
then transferred him to Anderson's
camp near Oakland City.
When arrived at the camp ]
was given a pair of shoes that were
too small and that cramped and
pinched my feet" Green alleges.
Heavy shackles were riveted about
my leg so tight that they caused me
much pain and suffering"
Green says he was put to work on
the Pittsburg sewer. and at times was
compelled TO sand waist deep in the
slime and water that flows from the
sewers, and that at all times the
water more than covered his ankles.
He says that the chains chafed his
ankles and they bled. and the con-
tact OF the sewer water caused him
to contract blood poisoning.
