In right field with Mr. Coney

field with this fast kid Christmon
and with old heads attheir post on
and with old heads at their post on
the grand stand and is hard propo-
sition for Messrs. Miller, Garrett and
Ellison to have to contend with on
their road to pennantville.
1t was learned that Mr.. President
was heard teaching Messrs. Miller,
Garrett and Ellison the old familiar
hymn, Its long, long way to Tip
erary.
What became of Mr.. Ellison's
thousand dollar infield last Sunday?
don't know, do you? No, well if you
don't know and don't know who in
the world does know. Why just ask
Mr.. Mooney, he may be able to eX-
plain. The Maroons went out to
Greenwood Park last Sunday with
blood in their eyes and determine
ton to wallop the red hot Nationals
and they did in big league style and
as the hillman Blair walked to the
mound, Harve Weakley shouted,
come here Blair just one minute,
with tears in his eyes Tom Wilson
exclaimed, let him alone Harve, l
have told him just what you are 60
ing to tell him and Blair said, boys
don't be afraid, will win this game
or throw my arm OFF, he did not
throw his arm off, but those hard
hitting Nationals made him throw
his arm out of place and to win the
game the old pilot, Whitsett called
from the dog-house another six-foot
| hillman known as Shadow and he
came in the game cold but was warm
enough to hold the Nationals at bay
and they went down to the count of
4 to 8. And since they all are going
down come out to Greenwood Sunday
and see the Black Sox go down twice
to that bunch of kids that old Nc
Graw is training and with all due
respect to old ball players, give me
the young because they are more
active and will be led.
Solomon the Swifts great south
paw that has never lost a game will
fall off the hill Sunday in the first
game and will be assisted by Samp'
son, the iron man and Washington
and Sherman, two more south-paws
that McGraw has signed. Come out
and see them trim the Sox.
