Dodgers have been able to win only
five of the fourteen games played

The next victim Is the tail-end

at the Polo Grounds, and since
their record against the Giants Is

The PhiIies, who have lost
seventeen games In nineteen

Braves here for a three game

The Reds, meanwhile. will be in
the midst Of q running fight

series, they will take on the Cubs,
Cardinals, and Pirates and will do
well to win seven Of the twelve
games played. That much is in
dfcated by past performances. In

Reds have won six and lost eight to

THE THOUSANDTH MAN

One man in thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than brother,
And its worth while seeking him half
your days
If you find him before. the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth Man will stand your
friend
With the whole round world again you.
IT'S neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finding for zee.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em 60
By your looks or your acts or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him,
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth man will sink or swim
With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
Andhlaugh and meet in your daily walk
AS though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of 'em call
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man he's worth 'em
all,
Because you can show him your feelings.
His wrongs your wrong and his rights
your right,
In season and out of season,
Stand up and back it in all mems sight
With that for your only reason
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame of mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by
your side.
To the gallows-foot-and after!

PRESIDENT HARDING

Yesterday he stood so manly and tall,
And now he lies in last repose.
Even Kings must answer at the call
Of Death. How or when, no one knows
Until the moment comes, as come it must,
Like thief at night or herald by day,
For we are but kindred of the dust
When Death bids us be on our way.
With worldly mission fulfilled
The hunter goes home from the chase.
The courageous heart is stilled;
The runner has ended the race.
His spirit goes home in peace,
With the sable shades of night
And ere the tolling bells shall cease,
Will be robed in the morning light

the reunion and that they will have the
time of their lives.
