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- Heisman Lands 4 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.
