love TO- each other rs the poilu once
had for Fritz. NOu can see the rivalry
sticking out at all times, on the field

Great Rivalry
Just how they fool toward each other
Is shown hy remark made by Casey
StCnGcl yesterday morning in his in
imitable tone and voice:
II couldn't sleep at all last night.

remark or 50 about his club. the
truth Of which one man in particular
doubts. in spite Of Comics lifelong
reputation for v"racity. The man who
thinks Connie wandered n tri1e from
tho path of exactncss is Walter Hub
bell.
This is how it happcnOd: Connie
quickly summed up his clubs assets
and liabilities as follows: We have n
very good inticld. II pretty good outhold,
good catching. very good pitching. but
our batting seems {" be- little weak.
Yes. We will have to get little NOR"
batting strength yet. Otherwise,
think the club is all right,

and one filled with revolutionary, criti-
cal remarks Walter lIubbell didn't
hear what Connie said, but he heard
about II. 80 this j what Hub had to
>ay in rCbuttal:

want to be in there when they do II.
You know ! pitched the first three in

Of him. and, for the first five rounds,
they didn't touch him for a safety.
Among the spectators at Yesterday :
