That is the Boston boast and brag
They have shown no signs of fear or

As they breeze along in the Johnson

Their pitchers are good and their team
is fast.
And they play like the Bostons of sea

Maybe, they'll get the post-season
rocks,
But we’re pulling for Griffith, the good
“Old Fox.’’
Maybe the team run by Connie Mack
B ill clean things up on the homeward

Many fond hopes have been put in the
tombs
By pitchers like Bender and Plank *!

Many a team from its throne has slid
Because of the things that Baker did

on Umpire Hart in the game at the
White Sox park on the morning of
July 4 When Umpire Connolly .re
fused to allou Birmingham to go to
his regular station in center field Man
ager Davis sent a substitute to that
garden
Hart inquired the name of the new
comer from one of the Cleveland play
ers and the reply was “Costello." The
truth regarding the player's name did
not become known until the Naps re
turned to Cleveland. where it was
learned that the player was Kenneth
Nash, former captain and shortstop of
the B r own university team The name
’Costello" was given, not by Nash, but
by another Nap. to get even with the
umpires for what the player termed a
bum decision on Birmingham at third

Becker and Waldorf Slated
To Hurl Today’s Double Rill
IF the weather deigns to permit,
which isn’t any too probable
during these watery day*, a
double-header will be played at
Ponce DeLeon park this afternoon.
The opposition will be furnished
by the prize in-and-out performers
of the league-—the New Orleans
Pelicans
Very likely Buck Becke r will
hurl in the first game today.
In the second game Mana
ger Hemphill may decide to give
Rudolph Waldorf, the Dutch Kid,
another chance If he does there
will be excitement surely. For
whenever Waldorf works there is
n ork for all.
A couple of ill-advised, watery
showers beat Atlanta out of a ball
game yesterday afternoon. A good
crowd risked the weather and
turned out for the doings at 2:30.
It looked bad for Atlanta in the
first spasm, for Messenger singled,
with one out. Johnston lived on an
error, and Almeida was walked.
With th* bases full. Bad Bill Mc-
GJlvray selected a willow and
strode to the plate. Sitton gulped,
put al! he had on the ball and let
fly. Bill s.wung. the ball cantered
down to Alperman. Almeida was
touched out and McGilvray doubled
at first
Nothing happened after that un
til one was down in the first of th*
second. Then one of the pesky
little showers that has been run
ning loose in Fulton and DeKalb
counties for the last month hit
the park And the game ceased.
For one hour and twelve min
utes there was nothing stirring
except the vigorous efforts of the
ground keeper’s force to drv off
the field.
