THAT Reminds Me-

AhdA htiuAlub we -
You are telling a story to those around
All are listening ercept one:
All the others hang on speiIboufid.
Trailing the yarn to its final run;
| But one Is nervous aud that's no myth
He can hardly tOdit for your closing
tUord;
Aud It's ten to one that he breaks In Nth
"Sdy, that reminds me Of one / heard
You may be spielinO a yarn on soap,
Or one that dJfftS to a monopldne;
While the centre Of interest In his dope
InUOlUos a lady IN Portland, Maine;
The gap is as tctde as the far abyss
That crotons each pole-or from fret
to third
But ifs ten to nothing he slips you this:
"Suy, that reminds me Of one heard"--
II makes me sore as a pdrboiled crab
Why, only the other day some guy
Wds spieiinO yarn that t0ds mostly drdb
While tods tCditing tOtth mine right
by;
had a peach that Dds JuH Of pith,
! could hardly t0dit TOR his final t0ord,
When some big mutt beat me to u t1ith
"sdy, that reminds me Of one heard"-
With the average weather we have been
drawing in May and early June It is no
wonder that interest in baseball Is a trife
trapped. II Is hard enough to get up
much interest even in living.
Is History Repeating?
On at least four occasions in the last
five years we have watched the estlmablo
Phillies rise up in April and May and
display all the so-called earmarks OF a
champion. Just what particular ear
marks adorn n champion we have never
known, but you get the idea
Ihen each year, as June arrived the
sun estimable Phillies proceeded to set
tie after the manner of steel girder
pushed gently but 1rmly of the top of
skyscraper This spring, with Alexan-
der In such condition. we had a hunch
that perhaps the Phils would hang around
most or the way. We never figured them
Tor pennant winners. but they looked good
enough for place In the first three. But
OF late they have been drifting fast, and
IT'S question now as to whether or not
they will even be able to remain long
In the upper set-sometimes referred to as
the First Division. They are quick start
ers but they can't go the distance. 1t
Is much after the manner OF entering a
sprinteT, ten second man. at the hum
dred, in a two-mile run. He can make |
the field look foolish for 200 or 800 yards,
and then it's the old pulmotor-and good |
night
Two days ago we missed an easy 2s-foot |
putt. Henry Ford Is right A cigarette |
Is no good for steady nerve.
II the Dodgers continue their winning
streak. Mr. Ebbets will be glad to with |
draw his charge that baseball is still in |
Its infancy" The Colonel will then be
willing to admit that 1t has at last ar
rived as worthy game,
In the First Division?
Even when travelling at an abnormal
clip, It was hardly possible to figure the
Yanks up with the White sox, Red sox
pr Tigers. The stun wasn't quite there
barring a supernatural break OF fortune.
But outside OF this trio they presented
irst division possibilities, as compared to
ST. Louis. Cleveland or /
So in spite OF their late
slump. which has driven them down hllI
II a dizzy clip, there is still a chance
hat Smiling or Wild Bill. as the case
may be, Donovan, will be able 10 defend
'ourth place. For they have a number
II irst-class players-and several who by
lext year should be stars. But for the
ime being the Yanks must forget they
ire the Yanks. put tradition well behind
heir innermoBt thoughts-and then the
irst division is not out OF reach.
