yesterday" says a writer in the
New York Sun, probably are Won
dering today how long the Phila-
delphia club is to be permitted to
maintain such a wretched team
without apparent effort to
strengthen it. The Phillies at this
time are composed Of sandlotters
and castoffs from other major
league clubs and do not belong in
fast company. It is hardly fair
to the great public which sup
ports baseball in this city to ask
It to pay major league prices to
see games such as those which
were put on yesterday, and these
games, poor as they were, were
characteristic of the Phillies. If
the other club owners are power
less to bring about a change for
the better in the situation in Phila-
delphia they might reduce their
admission prices when the Phillies
visit their grounds"
That was written after last Sun
days doubleheader and those
Phunny Phillies turned around on
Monday and Tuesday and socked
the Giants right in the eye.
Don't take anything for granted

Evers, the Terrible Trojan" and
his Chicago White Sox appear at
the Yankee Stadium today, being
the first Of the Western clubs to
reach here. The Sox caught the

Tigers. For time they were near

country puzzled as to his ability.
The scribes knew that Paul was a
socker; they knew that he was
a fearful punisher; they knew that
he could fight, but they didn't know
how much he could stand.
Along came Jack Delaney, no
marvel, but a pretty fair sort of
mixer, and he knocked Paralyzing
Paul for a row of pot plants.
What did the boys say then ?
Why, they said that Paul couldn't
take them on the kisser. Others
said it was a lucky punch that
started him going. Others again
said that the paralyzer lost his
head.
Paul isn't the spellbinder he
was, yet he's still a grand card
And like many another boxer

could not spare the coin to travel
on railroads at present prices.
At the banquet, gold basketball
charms were given to those play:
ers who won. It was reported
that Washington's Central High
School team was to be given SINH
lar charms. That would be a
graceful acknowledgment Of the
game fight put up by the boys
from the Capital.
NO CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
PLAYER HAS YET RECEIVED
HIS REWARD.
Several letters have been writ
ten to the University Of Penn
sylvania. No replies have been
received.
Coach Coggins, while attending
the Penn Relay carnival in Phila-
delphia, undertook to inquire as
to what had or would be done
about it. He came back as wise
as when he went away.
Had the Central High School
team attended that banquet in
Philadelphia, it is quite probable
that the gold basketballs would
have been rendered them. And
everybody present, Sappreciating
the wonderful playing of the
Washington boys, would have
cheered to the echo.
But, the Washington team did
not go up for the banquet and
it has heard nothing at all in 9
loud squeak regarding those gold
basketball charms.
Undoubtedly this must be a
mere oversight on the part OF
somebody at the University OF

at least, is on the level. Quintin

me except at the ball park and as
