ST. Louis. July 2s.--The leaders pit
ted against their threatening rivals

Yankees called here last Tuesday
namely Ia games.
The yowls and howls of a cat and
dog fight are like sweet music from a
violin compared with the jeers shout
ed by st. Louis fans In the present
series at the former Boston players
now with the New York team.
Babe Ruth and Joe Dugan are the
chief subjects OF the verbal attack
When Babe walks out on the field. the
$4,000 or more persons at every game
begin whistling that old Amt She
Cute" song, some of them singing
their own version as follows:
Amt she cute. amt she sweet.
"Oh, ain't she got tremendous feet"
This is continued until Babe reaches
his post in left field. When the inning
is over he comes back to the bench
the long trudge is to the cadence OF
the same tune.
When Joe Dugan comes to bat. the
hullaballoo starts with series OF
yowls; then comes this little rhyme
from the bleachers:
Il wanta play with New York.
when | am playing ball.
IF l can't play with New York,
II won't play ball at all
