THE FISHING BUG
By Gene A

What is this, a master second
story worker returning home from
a nights toll? No, Andrew, by
the faint rays of the lamp post
we make it out to be fishing bug
ankling out in the early a. m. with
the intention of lassoing some
finny gliders of the H2O.
He has poles and rigging
enough to set UP canvasless cir
Gus. Four or five generations of
hooks and all the fly family ex-
cepting a couple of uncles. With
his bottle of lunch and all that
fishing regalia the least he can
come home with is a bun.
Oh, don't fret, he'll catch some
pippins, but as per usual they'll
unraval themselves and flop back
in the liquid. He told his wifi to
have the frying pan hot when he
returneth, and, IL she's a wise wife
she'll have the pan hot and also
have the butcher send up cou-
pie of pounds of salmon.

With October and the world
series less than two months away
the two American league leaders
have settled down for the drive
down the home stretch.
The outcome depends upon the
club with the stamina to keep i'm
the gruelling race, the club which
will win games i'm the pinches.
Each club must still meet every
other club twice, once at home and
once abroad.
1t is not unlikely the pennant
will be decided in the two series
between these clubs at Chicago
and Boston.
IL Chicago can take four
of thesN six games and hold
her own with the other clubs
the Giants and White Sox
will figure I'm the first inter-
sectional world series since
1919. Ii not, the east Is
again likely to hold its mo-
nOpoly on the annual classic.
One of the significant things to
consider when the possibilities of
the two clubs are being measured
lis their work against each other
in recent clashes.
1t has been a matter of history
that the Red Sox can come
thru in a pinch. This also seems
to be true of Chicago this year.

times.
1t is understood that the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Baseball leagues is considering
taking strenuous action to avert
further failures.
The national commission may
be called upon to help the minors
next season, but unless the whole
structure of minor leagues is
threatened it is not likely any &C
tion will be taken.
In that case, however, the com
mission might act. The major
leagues are dependent upon the
minors to no small degree for
players and to keep up nation
wide interest in the game and the
big league moguls would not be
likely to watch their demise with
euuinamity.

Responding to queries by the
United Press, IA leading colleges
have declared their intention of
carrying on their sports program

Penn state college, one OF the
eastern schools that always puts
out a powerful football eleven,
will continue sports regardless of
the number of varsity men who
return to college. Four first

The University of South Cali

Colgate university, champions
of the east last fall, sends in the
statement that Colgate is going to
play a football schedule unless all
dates are Cancelled.
The Syracuse eleven will be
badly disorganized, but the team
is going to play its scheduled
games. The one year freshman
rule at Syracuse has been aban-
doned during the period of the

MINOR LEAGUES

The minor league situation con-
tinues to grow worse.
There Is scarcely a minor

The Central association is the

three others are tottering on the

Two cities in the Western

to give up their franchises ON ac-

will leave the Muny dock on the
steamer Tyrus at o'clock for

Altho the Hopkins club is still

series at Boston, after the Red
Sox had won two games the White
Sox, thrown out of first place
