After they have read that Fall re-
port TO the senate on relations with
Mexico the statesmen at the capital
of our southern neighbor are apt TO
be sorry that they were not more po-
lite TO this guy when they had the
chance 10 be.
Funny little story running around
anent the celebrated contest between
Ed and Heck.
II goes TO the effect that Mr..
Charlie was called away about the
middle Of the afternoon Of primary
day and Just as soon as the tram
pulled out the fellers began to DO
things to his iavorite candidate.
Back in the good old days there
used to be q saying that no really
philosophical man ever permilteo
work to interfere with his drinking.
Mr.. Charlie who seems TO have been
guilty OF letting his vocation interfere
WITH his ayocation ought 10 be giiden
in the future by the wisdom Of the
ancients.
As for Ed
Well, he at least has tho satisfaction
Of knowing what hit him.

He knows, and answers mo" or Eyes. p"
When set task that the rest can't do
he buckles down till he's put it

So he works and waits till one fine dav
There's better job with bigger paw:
And the men who shirked whenever

Are bossed by the man whose work

who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks:
Who uses his hands, his head. his ewes

MILLERS HERE
AFTER SAINTS
CLOSE SERIES
Indians Show Signs of Regain
ing Form by Slaughtering
Kelley's Leaders.
JONES IN FINE SHAPE

Following the series windup with the
leading Saints today the Indians will
DO battle with the second place Millers
at Washington park tomorrow. and the
usual stiff games between the two clubs
are promised.
The HoOsiers displaced the Cantillon-
ties out of their runner-up berth not long
ago and they believe they have the stuff
to do it again.
Pongo Cantillon will be here, Carl
Sawyer, the comedian. Henri Rondeau,
Wallie Smith, Morley Jennings and othef
Miller prominents.
Charlie WhitehouSe was due to face the
Saints this afternoon and the Indian
apolis lefty felt as If he had a win in
his portside wing.
The Indians staged an uprising yester-
day and actually made the Saint cham
pions look foolish, winning 0 to 0. Paul
Jones gave up only two hits to the league
sluggers and otherwise made Kelley's
men appear like second division outfit
The Indians had recovered from their
Sunday slump and they crashed the ball
ell over the lot
Jimmy Smith starred with two singles
and a double that nearly cleared the low
fence in left field. In addition to clout-
ing the pellet Jimmy also pranced in
fine style around second base.
Covington, Rehg, Schneider and Shin
ners each got two hits and Kelley and
Kores cut in with one apiece. One of
Rehg's hits was a triple.
II was a decisive comeback on the
part of the Tribesmen and it is believed
they gave the leaders the prize beating
of the season.
Dan Grinsr opened on the mound for
the Saints and the Indians found his
slants often. Their big round was the
sixth. when they chased over four runs.
There was little doubt about who the
winner was going TO be after Jones got
warmed up because he had everything
and steadily turned back the invaders.
It was grand comeback and the
large Monday crowd enjoyed itself kid
ding the helpless Saints.
