THE FAG END.
(By A. Magnate.)
Those melancholy days have come,
The dullest of the year,
11 'hen gate receipts are on the bum
And magnates shed a tear.
Within the glade big scores are made
While athletes smite the pill.
They drive the ball against the wall,
Hut gate receipts are nil.
The crowds that once through turn
stiles came
Have left us in the lurch.
It is as quiet at a game
As in a (juaker church.
In gentle spring the rooters bring
Two bits or so per head,
Itut now they stay far, far away,
And gate receipts are dead.
I hate the haze of autumn days,
When pennant races lag.
If I could pray, *twere always May,
When magnates get the swag.
We note by the paper* that Knockem-
out Brown can’t fight any more In In
dianapolis. We also have a hunch that
he can’t fight any more In any place.
Mr. McCSreevey, the umpire who re
signed, showed that even umpires are
afflicted with human Intelligence.
All things are for the best. The opera-

Crack Prep Men
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 6.—
When Coach Heisman taps the gong for
the preliminary practice*of the Jackets
at Atlanta next week, four star ath
letes from this self-same burg, the
cream of the local “prep” school talent,
will be present to battle under Tech's
colors. The quartet la composed of
Jene Patten, the Buylor warhorse;
Hawley Cushman, the former MoCalle
and Central star; Douglass Morrison,
of the same Institution, and Tally John
son, thf* star lineman of Bill McAlles-
ter's 1912 High School aggregation.
CROSS VS. HYLAND.
BUTTE. MONT., Sept. 5 — Leach
Cross, the New York lightweight, and
“Fighting Dick’’ Hyland, of Han Fran
cisco, have been matched to meet here
during the first week In October in a
twelve-round bout.
tlon which robbed Ad Wolgast of his
title also amputated Tom Jones.
The fact that Chicago oarsmen beat
Milwaukee oarsmen has not caused any
paroxysms of surprise. Milwaukee never
has been strong on water.
If George Stovall were to be consulted
he might remark that the American
League is afflicted with Too Much John
son.
Among the baseball record* of 1913
there is the fact that Johnson and
Boehling were whipped in one day. Not
to mention the extraordinary fact that
Johnson lost two straight games.
Eddie Clabby. the Assistant Pride of
Hammond, Ind., reminds one of his
brother, Jimmy. He Is so absolutely dif
ferent.
A baseball scribe Informs us that the
Athletics are weaker than they were last
year. This leads one l o suspect that
the rest of the teams In the American
League are suffering from paralysis.
AFTER SEPTEMBER 1.
There was a man who owned a hat
which was a hat of straw.
He heard the gmps ana jests and
gibes of every one he saw.
But as t felt the Urrrid air and gazed
uj on his hat
I wished that l possessed the nerve
to wear a lid like that.
