LEGATION.
After the campaign is over, it
might be imagined that political
vigilance on the Wills matter might
be relaxed but we are reliably in
formed that such will not be the
case. There are other campaigns
to come and neither Democrat or
Republican is willing to pile up
trouble for his future years.
The one spot this side of the
Atlantic where Wills and Dempsey
might be tolerated Is Tia Juara,
but somehow that particular To-
cality seems to have lost interest.
1t sent Jim Coffroth here last year
to talk the business up but moth
ing came of it and Coffroth re-
turned home to go into the silence
and stay there. Apparently Tia
Juana has abandoned hope of see
ing Dempsey and Wills perform
just as has every other locality
with leanings in this direction.

No baseball statistician has
ever been able to figure out
the proportion of blushing vio-
let's which ever actually reaches
the corsage. Because it's i'm
possible to figure in such frac-
tions without the aid Of a
watchmaker's glass.
About all those hillbillies do
in a Southern training camp
is use up a lot of hotel sta
tionery and otherwise slow up
a very pleasant landscape.
About once in every leap year,
one shows signs Of future i'm
portance.
There is nothing so absolute
ly amusing to the average vet
eran as to read that some In
dian club from Oshkosh is GO
ing out after his scalp. He
usually retires to the privacy of
his $4-a- day-ro m a n d J.
bath-without-meals and laughs
himself into a state of enraged
hunger.
If a baseball vet were a
member Of the Cabinet, he
would have something to worry
about; but no suffering youth
from the bushes without a
single trace of table manners
can usually impeach a regular
who never tips the waiter less
than a dime.
Many a rookie gets his base
ball career spiked right there
in the dining room, too. Tales
come up from the Southern
training tents which do say
that every manager 'consults
the head waiter before deciding
on his definite lineup. They
do say!
