/ Sport Editor EVENING JOURNAL
Knowing the sporting page Of THE
! EVENING JOURNAL to be the cynos-
ure of the eyes of every true, dyed
/ in-the-wool fan. and that you, as
sporting editor of the same. are their
official mouthpiece, as il we're, I am
going TO ask you a question. II may
he construed as rather personal. and
being of a natural bashful nature,
hesitate in such a delicate matter
But then again. there is no one to
whom | might flee In this trying
moment for my desired information
You know when young man has
reached that period in his life wher
everything seems to loom up insur'
mountable before his immature eyes
he must have some one to whom he
can occasionally go for advice.
OF course, you might say that in.
quiry is as foolish as "Is Eddie Col.
Inns a good batter?; Can Ty Cobb rur
and slide?; has George Stalligs g
good ball team? Is the Sporting Editor
of THE EVENING JOURNAL a nice
man (pardOn me, come to bury
Caesar. not to praise him), ETC." But
nevertheless, am going to pour forti
my odd question into your confidence
inspiring ear
But before / break forth too sudden
ly with this astounding interrogative
,Oh throbbing heart be stilD. | an
going 10 ask you to pardon me in ad
vance for my boldness--you know me
AL, always was sentimental. Well
anyhow. whether you pardon me o.
not, here she goes

Yours in the interest of true sport
