HERE'S A SCOUT WHO
FAILS TO LAND FIND

Once upon a time a baseball scout

bank roll furnished him by his employer,
sailed forth in search of the necessary
talent to enable his boss to win the pen

ing up the highways and byways of all
the minor leagues from class AAA to z
inclusive. he sent up 25 ballplayers of as
sorted sizes and shapes for the inspection
and approval Of the man who pays the
freight.
After giving the outfit the once over
the magnate said to the scout:
How many Cobbs are there in this
bunch?"
There is only one Cobb" replied the
scout, land he is playing with Detroit.
There is nothing in that bunch that bears
the slightest resemblance to a Cobb"
How about the Wagners," said the
boss, frowning slightly.
II am sorry to REPORT SIR replied the
scout. that there is not Wagner in the
whole United States. outside of Pitts
burgh. 1 kept my scouting eye open es-
pecially for Wagners, but there are none

Sorry. SIR" sadly replied the scout.
"but there Is nothing doing. If there is
a twirler in that bunch who has a license
to get into the same park with Matty or
Johnson. I'll work for you for two years
for nothing"
whereupon the magnate's face lighted
up with joy.
AT last" he cried. "I think I have a
pennant winner. I'll fire the whole team
and put these g recruits to work. Even
il they don't win the pennant. they will
at least be a great drawing card as the
only team in existence that has neither
