ftBroDn Derbies'
 On PoLi s BiU

The Brown Derbies are at Polls this week. Not our battIe-scarred ball players either, but real home grown brown derbies. They are worn with telling effect by the Texas Comedy Four, again not our ball players, or especially our pitchers, but singers, a la Marty Walsh. The strange part of it all is that the inoffensive brown hard dome tOppers are dragged in to set off song about ssRheumatiz," which might be construed at this time to have some connection with our own Brown Derbies, and the pitching arms of some of the aces. Cheer up, the Brown DerbieS cause big hit so perhaps that's an omen. Anyway the Brown Derbies are at Polls, that's the main idea.
