Boy! Get ready for a championship
series Ahha.
say, dye know that the Pops have
won l6 out of the last 20 games
played?
That's some victorious wictries.
And, casually speaking. six of the
wins were clean sweeps over Paris.
And we've still got the brooms that
swept the Snappers clean.
And We're gonna have them when
we play the championship series.
Employment of modern methods in
commercial activities
Has brought forth the praise Of
business celebrities
For in this age OF hustle and speed
the more up-to-date
Ways used in progressive revelation
are best, they state.
We've heard of tractors being used
on the farms,
And how paint and powder bring out
feminine charms
We've heard # wireless that speaks
through the air
How a street ear may be run by one
man instead Of a pair.
Also. about tailor made cigarettes and
roll your own,
And also. how the lady folks roll their
own, is known
But Of all the modern methods that
are in use today
Use Of aeroplane by baseball men is
holding sway
Now here's how it happened-its all
about game
That was won by the use Of an aero.
plane.
The score was a tie-two out-none on
Last half of the ninth--a very climaxic
case.
The batter hit the pill-it sailed high
in the air
The cen'erfielder' was ready-for him
to muff was rare.
But just at the moment a plane sailed
DER the field
And right out of the ozone that base
ball he stealed.
So the batter got homer on the
awaiting ball
And the home team won-there was
no dispute at all
Because even Judge Lands couldn't
figure It out
So now an aeroplane scoop is same
as a circuit clout

PEPS DEFEAT GENERALS.
81 AND LEAD LEAGUE;
YOUNG TWIRLS VICTORY.

Bugs Young, the baseball minute
man, and his pill slamming teammates
oozed the Pops into the leadership of
the TO league Tuesday afternoon
when they mixed timely swats with
punched walks and defeated the Gle.
burne Generals in the final game Of
the series by the score of So.
Bugs pulled the hero act for which
he has become noted by performances
of the past After couple errors and
a double had put crimp in Lefty
Ferguson's status, and permitted the
Generals to take the lead 20. Young
was drafted to the scene Of the disas-
/ ter and with two men on and nobody
down at the time Of his ascension
engineered the work that retired the
I side without further plate crossing,
and that amt all! He held the Gen
erals for the rest of the game, allow

broke the tie and put Ardmcre
couple in the lead. Another walk
in the seventh by Tate, followed by
singles off the hickories Of Behren
and Young, added another run to the
Pops collection.
Bugs support was snappified in the
field and put the brakes TO the Gle
burne runners in emergency style.
Lovelace and Behren were the leading
brakemen. Lovelace pulled neat
catch in the seventh when he gloved
Wisrock's high fly outside the right

Tate was the big stick artist and
base track man. Four times he step

double, single and two walks, which
resulted in three runs.

not seeing the approaching trolley
car, he started to drive across the
track. The motorman gave the

brakes, too late, however. to avoid
a collision. The impact of the troll

side against a bank alongside the
track. The trolley car was only
slightly damaged.
