Funny how a change OF scenery
often gives some ball players new
lease on life.
While most Of the critics feel that
the New York Giants will continue to
show the way in the National League
stu the St Louis Cardinals must be
considered very dangerous.
On the Cardinals are three players
who are performing valiantiy. These
three players were permitted to drift
out of the American League.
1 have reference to Catcher Eddie
Ainsmith and First Sackers Jack
Fourier and Del Gamer.
For years Ainsmith was a valuable
member Of the Washington club. He
won much fame as the battery partner
of Walter Johnson when the Speed
King" was II his best.
Ainsmith was later sent to Detroit
in a deal, and Immediately he started
to play great ball for the Tigers. For

He spent several hours watching the

KANSAS CITY, No, June %
City ordinances hold no terrors for
the "jitney" men of this city. For

Awaging a losing battle to operate upon
the streets.
The most recent Ioophole adopted
to thwart effectiveness of the anti

session OF the council and upheld by

is the establishment of numerous
livery clubs .throughOut h city.
The jitneys have been a thorn in

These predictions have proven in
accurate. however. The jitneys to-

as extensively as they did before the
passage of tina anti-jitney ordinance.
Following action Of the State Su-

a decision stating that the anti-ttney
ordinance was legal, the jtney men
ran their motor cars through the
streets without destination signs and
without any fare placards decorating
the windshields.
