exhibition, what does It matter, y
thry should wsW. We arc out first
for The sport ~ DE s::amc, and are az

We should emulate Sir Thomas Lip
ton and be good loser. This Irish
man has set an example In the sport
world az good loser that has made
him thousands Of friends end that
should be an example In all lines Of
sport. He has already spent four
millions Of dollars In his vain eli
forts to lift the cup but without sue
cess. His last message to the Amer
lean people was that he would be
back next year. You viii find our
team But there doing their loyal best
do your part. Be on hands With
your coin and void Of encourage.
Tnent. We have the reputation OF
being boosters, let's show them we
deserve this whether we win or lose.
AS stated before in tho dope sheet
this column is TO boost the game. We
sometimes wander pretty far in oul
efforts to fill the sheet, but II we car
keep up the morale Of the fans, along
with the interest in the game, we
shall feel that our efforts have not
been in vain. It is up to the fans t.
make or break the team. We are
betting on you to stick until the cur.
tain Is rung down on the last game
on Labor Day.
Morristown has had rough sailing
with Johnson City this week. W.
are now anxiou5ly awaiting the out
come Of the Morristown- Elizabeth
ton series. Johnson City seems K
be able to stop the bunch that have
tied us to the post. If Morristowr
can also handle the onrushing bunch
of Volunteers, the race should tight
en- up by the middle Of August. Thu
Goddess of base ball is tickle dame
and YOU can't dope out what will hap
pcn. We are hoping that this lad!
will soon smile on us and put us II
the winning column.

Tom Roscnblatt, dcvotee IT thu
game, and bachelor of wide expe
rience, who admits that he has so far
been untouched by Supid's darts, say
that the game is just the thing t.
tune up tired piano salesman to hi
highest pitch. Tom always speaks il
musical terms, but we will stand 10
this as long rs he patronizes tn
game.

We noticed Venus Bacon wearing
smile a yard long this morning an
wondering how he could be so hap
py In the face Of his misfortunes. w
asked him what had caused tn
change. He told us confidentially
that after sundry and numsrou
promises of his to walk the straigh
and narrow, that the Chief Executiv
Of his household had agreed to chang
her mind and wsnld acconpan
Steel-Arm's Guiding Star on an sou
of town vacation With this state Q
affairs existing right under our eye
and knowing these wild birds whe
they are not held in leash as we do,
will be our own fault If the dop
sheet Is not interesting for shol
session. II these auto bandits ar
putting out anything for silence, the
win find the Dopster at the games thl
week, seated about the center of th
grandstand near some object that wi
attract the eye, easy to locate and sti
approachable.
