The player having the most votes at that time will be given a handsome loving cup to be donated by this pa per. At the present writing It looks very much as it Dick Manchester, the Americus catcher, will lead his rivals to the post. His admirers refuse to lay down on him. and are fighting with might and main, despite stiff op position. Otto Jordan, Goat Holliday and Pat Murphy are causing Manchester lots of trouble. Dick fears that these players have many “holdout voters" who will come to his rescue to-day or to-morrow. On the other hand, Manchester’s admirers have been rushing in their votes daily in an ef fort to keep their diamond star on top. Jordan Is Seoond. Otto Jordan continues to hold sec ond place, with Holliday third and Pat Murphy fourth. All these players are closely bunched, and still have a chance to overtake Manchester, if their followers will only get out and hustle. A surprise was sprung around sporting circles yesterday when a ru mor gave rise to the fact that all Thomasville fans are to give all their aid to Pat Murphy and bring him home a winner on the final day. Up to date they have been dividing their voes between Duley. Murphy and Champlin, hut it is said that an agreement has been reached and all voters from now on will help Murphy. Thomasville Fane Loyal. Thomasville fans have been giving their players more support than any city in the league. All three play ers from the Thomasville team are near the top and have put up a won derful battle since the race started. Murphy and Champlin still have <t good chance to come home a winner.

The crowd was thrilled, And clamored for a hit, When up walked Zim \Vi1h features prim, Ilis warclub in his mitt. One ball went bp Too wide and high. And then he took a strike. And after that He dropped his bat And beat it down the pike. The crowd was wild % But Zim he smiled And hustled to the train, And as he beat It down the street He hastened to explain. "My salary Is small,” said he. “And I am growing poor, So I must stray Like William J. Upon a lecture tour” Considering the question, “What I* the White Sox?” one might answer “Ed Walsh.” Up to that time It is against the rule* for a *cribe to sprain, fracture or other wise Injure any part of a player’s anatomy. THE CALL OF THE FALL. Beneath the, spreading chestnut tree The smith is on a strike, And as he packs his carpet bag And beats it down the pike He says: "My alma mater calls And I must up and hike. “My alma mater calls,” he says, “And I must hike away And buckle on my football togs And mingle in the fray, And I will not be bark again Till next Thanksgiving Day” A CONTRIBUTION. The verses printed below were writ ten on our typewriter during our ab sence by a certain highbrow. Richard Henry Little by name. Mr. Little hav ing laid the said verses on our escri toire, we presume that he fain would have them appear In print. To show that we are willing to lose our Job *o | ar.tommodate a friend we bust in with the following: TO GEORGE. The case of Mr. Walsh is another ar gument In favor of the conservation of natural resources. While Walsh is visiting Bonesetter Reese it would not be a bad idea to have the said Bonesetter make an investi gation under Ping Bodie’a hat. Walsh says he can make good as an outfielder If his arm refuses to come back. This shows that he has been watching the Sox outfield. Oh Kilbane, White and Callahan. And Phelan Moore and Pierce, Math arson, Dcmaree and Marquard. My Gawd, it's something fierce. Oh Kilbane, White and Callahan, And Phelan, Moore and Pierce, Please change your names for just a day To Kujalaxestishimpkajiamakkim- ojiekmeree. R. H. L. Birmingham denies the report that he Intends to get rid of Napoleon Lajoie. It [ Is also rumored that McGraw will not sell Christy Mathewson. SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE. The report that water baseball Is a success is welcomed with great eclat by baseball magnates. They will now be able to glean a little breakfast money by staging games when it rains. If the Japs ever attack California we fear that they will not be uble to fire a SfiOt WIthCUt bringing duv* u a tenuis champion. Considering the question pro, con and otherwise, why should any one hanker for John Evers’ job? One of our cartoonists kicks in with a lifelike picture of Larry Devereaux. the well-known polo player. We are now palpitating to see portraits of Fox hall Whitney and Harry P. Waterbury. While our football scribes have al ready begun their nefarious work, they will not be satisfied until September 15.
