Ohio Lady, Recent Americas Wis

Confederate Daughters

Mrs. w. H. Estabrooke, of Day

the Americas Chapter, Daughters of
the Confederacy. By special request
Mrs. Estabrooke has given permits
sion to, have it printed in the Times
Recorder.
TO THE AMERICUS CHAPTER OF
THE u. D. c.
The fields once, torn with shot and
shell
Now blossom in the May.
There's little left the tale to tell
Of strife twixt Blue and Gray
To keep the story of those years
Unsullied, pure and free
With all its glory, all its tears
Is the work of the U d. c.
CHORUS
Not to forget the long weary years,
May they ever sacred be,
Not to forget our mothers tears
Is the work of the u. D. c.
Let's tell the world of our heroes
strong,
Stuart, Jackson, Lee,
To name them all would take too
long,
But, they are known to the U.D.C.
Let's cover the wounds of bygone
day
Sweet memories keep alive
AS we sing of the boys who wore
the Gray
Sixty-one to siXty-five.
CHORUS
Let's honor the boys, honor the
Cause
With hearts from malice free,
Be true to the South's chivalrous
laws
Is the work of the U. D. C.
To keep those memories pure and
bright
To make them hallowed be.
To prove to the world our Cause
was right,
Is the work Of the U. D. c.

Eighteen Tigers were unable to
win from the Griffs yesterday.
Cobb appeared to be in a rage as
he saw the victory eluding his
grasp. He almost came to blows
with Billy Evans when the latter
gave Lu Blue the air in the eighth.
The Tigers opened their road trip
which three defeats in four games,
and will have a hard time recov-
ering against the Mackmen aad
Yankees.
Goose Goslin played great ball
yesterday in spite of an accident
earlier in the day which deprived
him of two front teeth. George
Fisher let loose a wild throw which
struck Goslin in the mouth. Two
teeth were broken off at the gums
and his lips severely cut. However,
he didn't let a little think like that
bother him and proceeded to whale
the ball for a single and two dou-
bles in four tries.
Pitcher Friday is due to report

"Never Was Developed"

A S to Pittsburgh, why, it has
~ produced some of the very
greatest of all baseball
players and so much so that even
some of my friends think that the
writer was developed there. The
truth is that l said to DOME
Bush, manager of my Washington
club, that people often mistook
me for being developed in Pitts
burgh, and he replies-it being
tough day with nobody to beat
but the Yanks:
Huh! Developed in Pittsburgh,
hey? Why, you never was de-
veloped anywheres.
Such gall and worms wood is
nothing to this writer, and l con-
tent myself with remembering
the great Honus Wagner, who
lives in Pittsburgh to this day
and like as not will consent to
die there of old age. Babe
Adams, who refuses to give up
playing at pitcher, is only about
fifty years old now. He is like
Iron Man Joe McGinnity, who,
you may have read, pitched his
minor league team to a shut-out
victory last week. Joe is fifty
two.

day just as good as he could the
day he was born. Yes, just
about that good.
AS to Adams, he has a great
name, "Babe," and the only
thing the matter with him is that
he is not left-handed like the
other great "Babe," and, well.
like the writer, who is proud of
being left-handed out of desper-
alton.
Babe Adams would be greater
if he was left-handed, as you can
see that us portsiders have a bet
ter break at writing articles for
the newspapers.
If we was right-wings, well,
perhaps we might be check-kiters
or forgers and then would have
to write our delicious articles
from Atlanta prison.
