down Broadway. He has finished his
baseball season, and is trying to
keep out of the way of George STALL
ings, who wants him for the Braves.
Smoke hates himself just as much as
ever, and he is going to give me his
picture for publication in few days.

]. p. N:
Well, Joe, I've sort of been neglect
| ing me old friends in Newark, be-
| cause with the closing of some of the
! leagues seasons l just took a rest. /
come over here and bought meself a
little suit that don't fit me and a
cane. and I'm doing Broadway, while
some of those wise guys that couldn't
see me early In the season are
battling for me services. But / amt
regular dude, Joe. A half a suit OF
clothes and a cane Is as far as I'll
get. Don't think I'll ever wear tor
toise- trimmed glasses and cut me ears
| off with me hat. Nor me success
amt turning me head. I wrote you
letter last week, but, as / stood up
for me country and said few words
about Germany. suppose 1t wouldn't
pass the centure.
Well, Joe. did you see where Allen
| town finished? Second. And / was
only with them two weeks. Gunson
| said If I'd only been with them one
week they'd have finished first, and I
said. Eyes, and If / hadn't been with
them at all they wouldn't Of finished
at ALL" See, I'm there with the
repartee, too, Joe.
1 guess 1 wouldn't look good to Nc
Graw now. Joe! What? Well, he
can't have me now. No second
raters for me.
I've had hardsluck all season, Joe.
! But 1 got a regular guy looking for
me now, Joe. Stallings has been In
this hotel three times since l been
here, Joe, and don't know what he's
doing here If he amt looking for me.
| He has to have somebody like me,
Joe, If he goes up against Mack s
bunch. Rudolph, James and that
! bunch can't hold down that Phila-
delphfa crowd of murderers; but they
Lal look alike to me, Joe. l wouldn't
care if they had Cobb, Crawford and
jackson, as well; I'd do just as good
with them. I might come over to see
you this week and have me picture
taken, because you'll need it. Joe, for
Stallings is sure to grab me If he
can find me, and | sent him a tele-
gram where / am. The only thing
that stands in the way is the dough,
Joe. You know what happened to
Larry Mclean last year because he
didn't play all year with the Giants.
Well, | amt goin' to win a pennant
and a worlds series-for Stalllngs UNI
less l get mine. But l guess you can
make arrangements for me articles
on the worlds series, joe because
Stallings amt like McGraw or Harry
Smfth-he amt going to overlook no
little four-leaf clover like me. Well,
so long, Joe. Me for the worlds
series. Yours truly,
SMOKE MILLER.
p. ST. don't have to go to Boston,
you know, joe There is other good
things around. l hear Chance has
quit. SMOKE.
