LON is STILL FLOPPING.

'Weu. boss va gotta admit that tn
Nationals have split?'
Wha was at, Ginger, Didn't you hear
a noise? Well! Well! If it amt Lon
But oh. how changed! Why. Lon, I'd
never knowed va as tn same lii
"oyster," who, a couple o weeks ago
was struttin around an arrangin' his
scenery so as t have everything ready
fer tn Worlds Series this fall.
Homes boy. va better quit floppin.' or
one o these days you're gonna flop clean
away an nobody won't find va.
S'posin the Nationals have took a
sfhmp. Twasn't all slump from where

luck. Oh. amt tryin I alibi EN- out,
but va better be careful before va start
knockin,' cause they've still gotta chanct
[ climb up in tn race.
Look what a few winnin' games done
for tn St. Louisettes. Two weeks ago

sich rooters as you. it's a pipe that
he'd finish one miserable last.
An then too. anybody's liable t get

didn't lay still an let it run over tn
pavement. He hustled out his scoopers
an tried t clean up. o. course he
couldn't get it all back in tn can. as
some run down tn sides. but done what

NATIONAL LEAGUE TO
CURB UMPIRE BATTING

New York. Aug. S.-President John X.
Tener has called meeting of the Ma
tional League in this city tomorrow, at
which the umpire situation is to be dis
cussed. Many of the club owners and

tice.

Bile with the umpires than any of the
other clubs. The Brooklyn team, which
is leading the league this year, has had
little trouble with the umpires. The
meeting will be held at the leagues Of
