THE DAY OF DOOM

After protracted and bitter wrang-

tween the leans, who know that they
can play ball, and the fats, who think
they can (but CAN'T, has been fixed
for Thursday, May 81. This date
was demanded by the fats, because
they figured that on that day the
newspaper offices would be too busy
going to press to have reporters
present to record the details of their
defeat.

leased the automatic baseball pitch
ing establishment from midnight till
four o'clock every morning until the
game. In this connection a good
story has leaked out of how Manager
Forrest, he of the grasshopper
build, foxed the fats out of a heavy
batter. Manager Sanger had signed
DIR. Rounds for his team of jokes, but
got tired of watching him fan the
air and handed him his release. Man
ager Forrest, who had been studying
the dentist in action, thought that he
could detect evidence of a batting
eye in his placid countenance and
promptly signed him. The doctor
again faced the automatic pitcher
and proceeded to extract a couple of
home runs, several three baggers and
shower of two-base swats. He will
probably be used as a pinch hitter for
the leans, if he can keep down his
weight.

on the leans, with no takers, but
