sweet song yesterday. for the Yanks
were nothing n not suggestive of the
night-blooming limburger. Perhaps
they wanted to soften our grief over
their departure from New York for
eighteen days, st. Louis first stop.
Perhaps-well. let's be fair about It
and consider that they had put up
smashing, dsshlng, successful fights In
row against the three toughest prop
ositions In their league-St. Louis,
which played hop top ball when they

Indians, the Yanl1s hot rivals-and
that therefore yesterday a sudden let
