CLEVER BACKSTOP WITH BOSTON RED SOX
J. BARLEYCORN
With practically half the area of our country marked "dry” on
the maps, how comes it that last year's sales of inebriating fluids, as
officially reported by Uncle Sam, were the largest ever recorded and
showed” a gain over the year before larger than the gain in popu-
The increase in beer drinking was a million barrels and in whis-
key and brandy seven and a half million gallons, enfough to "treat'
every inhabitant a number of times.
Perhaps a recent happening up in rock-ribbed Maine affords one
clew.
Though theoretically "dry,” Portland, in that state, has, as a
matter of notorious fact, long been moist, and at times even wet.
Of late its degree of alcoholic humidity1 has been so excessive as to
force Sheriff Scully to do some high class sleuthing.
As a result of earnest vigilance and several exciting chases, he
located and dislocated an "automobile express.” Bat the moistness
continued.
Finally he fixed up a coast patrol. It wasn’t, though, until a
luckless sailing vessel grounded in a gale and lightered her cargo
that the mystery was explained. Piled on the beach the sheriff -
man found 1300 kegs and a number of boxes, the contents whereof
were calculated to cause the judicious to grieve.
Now, the folk who were in this smuggling trade weren’t as had
as vou might suppose. Some, of course, were in it for money, but a
number just for fun. The challenge of the prohibitory law roused
their spirit of adlventure. They sought the forbidden fruit chiefly
because it was forbidden.
No, we haven't solved the liquor problem.

GIRLS CANNING
BLUB SCHOOLS
The 15 women agents in charge of
the Girls' Canning Club Work in as
many counties of Oklahoma, are now
engaged in conducting canning schols
in their respective territories. These,
canning schools are proving very prof-
itable and interesting. The girls of
a neighborhood are notified in advance
to be at the home of one girl on the
date of the demonstration. Each girl
brings with her a basket of some-
thing to can, her dinner, and her
mother. The woman agent provides
a homecanner and other necessary
equipment. The preparation of the
fruit and vegetables and canning of
the same is done by the girls under
the instruction of the woman agent,
and with the assistant of the mothers.
Very often the men folks attend, and
the demonstration becomes a neigh-
borhood affair.
The state office haft received notice
from the Department at Washington
that an increased appropriation will
ho available for girls’ club work next
year. This will make it possible to
add a number of new counties to the
work. Parties interested in securing
this work should address Boys’ and
Girls’ (Tubs, Oklahoma City, Okla.
Leslie Nunamacher, Star Catcher.

Dubuque. Ia. He was drafted that season by the Chicago Cubs, but was
sent back to Bloomington that season. He was drafted by Boston that
fall. He bats and throws right-handed.

A GRADUATED CIGAR SALESLADY.
You speak of girls, who marry Earls, wear fancy .curls, with teeth
of pearls. ^
And adorn themselves with modes just from "Paree.”
But the Cigar Girl, who knows the world, the hull can hurl, and
wins the pearl
Is the girl behind the counter, you'll agree.
She's always nice, is so precise, can throw the dice, and sure entice.
And hand you out a smile or two so free;
Says, you’re just IT, gives you a tip. gives you the mit, then your
feet slip,
Is just the class a Cigar Girl should he.
She’ll have you think, you're her missing link, coquetish wink, you
buy the mink
Then throw boquets at yourself when at home;
Around her place, with smiling face, you’re in first place, wears airs
of grace
But at the close you go home all alone.
She hurls the grade, smooth as pomade, best brand that’s made, cured
in the shade
11 smears on easy but comes off quite hard;
The stuff is scarce, as even as Vas., 'Twill inspection pa-- lint
then, alas
She smears it on as smooth as rendered lard.
But never mind, she’s not unkind, she's there to grind, the dimes
behind,
It’s just the game she knows well through and through,
She's there to hold, the gent with gold, the story's old, so now behold
The Cigar Girl with good sense, who loves you.
You spend your “Mun,” have lots of fun, chew half her gum, and
get a run—
For every dime you pass into her palm;
Just hang around, and you’ll be astounded, how men renowned.
there will be found
That fall to her sweet smiles and other charms.
Now men take heed, there is no need, to force the speed, or show
a greed.
To win her, the first time you spend a dime;
It’s just a sin to take her in. Poor little thing, with your phonv ring.
And with a Hot Springs Diamond cut a shine.
She’ll gently say, “Please sir do stay,” "Don’t hurry away," "Please
come next day,”
And then you’re sure you’ve grabbed her heart and soul.
But soon you’ll pout, you'll hear a shout, your pipe is out. you look
about.
This is one of the maddest stories ever told.

Jim has long been a strong rooter

Frank Baker says that the fade-
away ball of Fred Falkenberg is hard-
er to hit than that of Mathewson. He
has hit Matty's over the fence, but
not Long Cy's,

depended a lot on the batting oi
Mike Donlin. Well, McGinnlty had a
big bet down, and he was strong tc
win that money. It was the flrsl
gam? at Philadelphia.
"Now, Donlin always liked to gc
--I out with the boys for a good time
PICKS THE NAPS AND GIANTS and there was no telling what he
_ | might pull off. so McGinnlty came t.o
me that evening and said:
" ‘Say, Jim, I wish you'd get hold
of Mike and keep him tonight.’
" Sure,' I said, and I grabbed Don
ltn and immediately got busy on him
Mike liked to play pinochle, so I chal-
lenged him to a game and we went
up to my room and had it out. Well,
1 kept him there playing pinochle all
night, and he never had a chance tc
go out. Of course, the next day he
was in shape, and he banged that
ball so far that New York won a
block." .
Billy Sunday, Noted Evangelist and
Former Ball Player, Favors Cleve-
land and New York.
"I feel sorry for Frank Chance and
some of the other big managers this
year,” said Billy Sunday the other
day.
"The experience of Chance simply
shows that you can’t make a ball
club unless you have the players,
even though you have great baseball
brains. 1 make this prediction, how-
ever, that Chance, if given the op-
portunity, will build up u great base-
ball machine for the New Yorks
"This has been a year of surprises
so far. It looks to me very much like
Cleveland in the American league.
They are fighting every inch of the
way and have had lew setbacks. Who
would have thought that Falkenberg
would develop as he has this year?
He. to my mind, is one of the big sur-
prises of the game.
"Then, there’s Chapman and Car-
Isch. who are playing great ball That
explains, by the way, why Toledo is
having such a poor year. This town
will continue to have bad ball if
Cleveland grabs this club’s good play-
ers as fast as they develop
"I can’t see the Phillies in the Na-
tional league race, although they have
been playing great ball 1 pin my
faith in Muggsy McGraw and his
Giants ” concluded Bill-
Lots of Johnsons.
This is a great year for the John-
sons in the pitcher’s box. In Walter
Washington has about th6 best there
is, while Cincinnati has a marvel in
George Johnson, the Indian twirler.
The lattery has done sensational slab
work for toe Reds and It is no fault of
his that Joe Tinker’s club is not up
near the top, as when l\e goes iu the
box the Reds are pretty certain to land
a victory.
