colonel tore open the envelope and this
is what he read:
"In conference with Mr. Stoneham
yesterday and he agrees to let you
stay at the Polo Grounds. He will ar
rive in New York next week to ar
range final terms"
Last Gun of Strife
The message was signed Byron

two colonies shouted as they staggered
down the stairs. And there you are
1t looks as though the last gun had
been fired in the internal strife in or
ganized baseball and that the doves
might as we'll start in nesting in the
affidavit cannons.

will be reasonable enough. Ban John
son came to the rescue of the Yam
KEGS as they were going down for the
third time in the evictment seas, and
he threw them life preserver instead
OF an anchor.
1t seems that among other things
the late lamented Mays case started
lot OF loose conversation. During
the chatter there were q few threats
oh Of hn ny,1l
agreement and some wars that would
cause organized baseball to do a more
nervous shimmy than it did during the
Federal League pleasantness.
About that time the edict came from
the Giant office that as soon as the
Yanks worked out their current lease
they would be thrown right out into
goods would be spilled right out on
top of them. In keeping with this an
nouncement the crool landlords OF
Coogan's Bluff came out recently with
the ultlmatum that after this season
the Yanks would not be permitted to
cavort over the nicely manicured
lawns at the Polo Grounds.
Colonel Grabs Shovel
Whereupon Colonel Tillinghast
1.'Hommedieu Huston. vice-president Of
the Yanks and an engineer at heart, took
off his coat and grasped his trusty
shovel. The lust for building cleaned
in his eyes and he called for bricks
and mortar and cement and other toys
that delight the soul of an engineer.
But suddenly it seemed that the places
for engineers to build in were scarce
on the Island of Manhattan The
colonel had his shovel, but no room to
work in.
In the meantime the Macedonian cry
came up from the Yankee fans, "Who
will save our orphans ,"
II will" Ban Johnson shouted, 81
will save the two orphans from their
crool landlords. They shall not be
thrown into the raspberry bushes. !
will save them" And he did
The Yankee corps of physicians and
surgeons visited convalescent row yes
terday and brought back some more or
less cheerful reports concerning the
Yankee invalids.
Ruth, according to a consensus dag
nosiS, has recovered completely from
the attack of housemaids knee which
first laid him low. But later he picked
up a slight attack Of Group from which
he is still suffering. 1t seems that the
slugger grew so rapidly that he never
had time to accumulate the usual in
fantile diseases and they are all coming
upon him now in bunch.
Babe Smokes a Cigar
If this theory is correct Ruth will
have to pass through measles, humps
whooping cough, chicken pox and chol-
era infantum. When visited yesterday
by Truck Hannah, the pale and inter
esting invalid was sitting up in bed
and taking light nourishment from a
cigar of his own manufacture. De
spite the ravages which housemaid's
knee have wrought upon his once mas
sive form, the Babe asserts that he viii
be in uniform to-day and that on Sun
day afternoon he will be polling them
out of the lot. The news that Har
Felsch is within one of his home run
record for the coming year is dragging
the Babe out from his cot of pain.
Chick Fewster, another Yankee in
valid, was setting on the front porch
of the Yankee hospital eating tobacco
and breathing defiance. Fewster an
nounces that he will be out for prac
tice on the first and that along about
the fifteenth of June he will be active
~ engaged in assisting the Yanks to
ward the pennant.
There was no game at the Pole
Grounds yesterday. Wind and weather
permitting, there will lbe a duel be
