(Showing1 how very long aso Col. E. li.

The outlook wasn't brilliant for a speedy
court decree,
'As the Judge's golf engagement was a
Quarter after three;
And o when Ollmore tooh hU place,
supplanting Carry's heft,
A sickly silence fell upon thereto fans
that wore left.
'A few poor boobs got up to go tn deep
despair, the rest
Clung to that dope which spring $
eternal tn the baseball breast;
They thought if only Casey could but
get a chance to land
Well, they'd put up even money with
old Oasev on the stand.
But Ban preceded Oasev otth R. Ward
amid the frame
'And one was quite a talker, and the
other was the same;
$o upon the strtoken gathering co
laid a heavy hand
Tor there seemed but little chance of
Casey's coming to the stand.
tint Ban talked but an how to the won
derment of all;
'And Colonel Ward spoke even less be
fore he left the hall;
Whereat the cheering echoes struck the
courtroom vHth a far.
Tor Oasev, mighty Casey, was advanc
ing to the bar.
There was kale tn Casey's pockets as he
stopped Into his place;
There were contracts In his fingers
and a yawn on Casey's face;
'And when, responding to the oath, he
raised the proper hand,
Wot a rooter In the place could doubt
twos Casey on the stand.
The eyes of all were on Mm as he
sought his counsel's ear;
The tongues of all applauded as he sent
out for a beer;
'And when the prosecutor put a hand
Upon each hip, .
Defiance gleamed In Casey's eve a
sneer curled Casey's Up.
'And now some pop-eyed lawyer started
handing out hot air,
'And Oasev started lamping him In
puzzled grandeur there;
Close by the sturdy batsman seven
Latin Phrases sped
"Pro bono," started Oasey," I object,"
the lawyer said.
From the benches down below him there
went up a muffled roar
JAke growling that once eohoed when
he sought an umpire's gore;
"Kill Mm kill that shysterl" shouted
. some one from the clan.
'And it's likely they'd have moiled him
had not Oasev winked at Ban.

Perhaps It's a Good Thing
It remains to be seen whether Cleve

are seeking a new handle for the out

longer graces the team by his presence.
We thought of a good name, but, unfor

Goodbye, you old red-headed thrush,
TTe'll miss you more than words can

To say, "Old top, we wish you well"
W Itted the way you htt the tan,
We liked you. Red, at work or play
We even liked (Ala ain't a stall
The way you sang your roundelay.
It to almost time to dry a furtive tear
Of two when Pooln goes away. He's been
somewhat of a Philadelphia Institution,
and many a fan will miss that red thatch,
not to mention, again, that voice o' hht'n.

A Prediction
Soino day there'll be an Intercollegiate
athJetlo union that will make the Anal

With a smile of Blackslone wisdom
mighty Casey's visage shone:
lie called the court to order and
bade the Judge go on;
lie signaled to the lawyer who for scv-
eral moments drulcd
"1 obJect,"sald Casey loudly but the
Judge'sdied, "Over ruled."
"Fraud!" yelled the mad fanallcs, and
the echoes answered fraud;
But one legal look from Casey and the
audience was awed;
They saw his face grow stern and cold
they saw Ms jawbone strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn't boot
that Latin phrase again.
They saw him call his counsel close and
shake his burly fist;
They saw, and shuddered as they looked
a watch upon Ms wrist;
And when they handed Mm a bat,
marked Exhibit A
He said, "That Isn't In my line," and
sadly turned away.
The sneer Is gone from Casey's Up Ms
Jaw began to orack;
A court attendant had to come and
pound Mm on the back;
"Now tell us, old dog," said the Judge,
"tell us who gets the dough."
And Oasey murmured, "Quod crat pro
bono puMlco."
Oh, somewhere In this favored land
theyre's playing games outdoors;
Bomewhera the golfers bat the pill along
the open moors;
And somewhere they have passed today
that still are partly sport
But there Is no Joy In Balldom Mighty
Casey's gone to court.
In behalf of most earnest athletes, It
Li but Just to say that practically all of
tho court stuff was Inaugurated from up
above. Only In Bmall part Is It any fault
of the players that tho renowneu pa.s
tlmo has been transferred from the
field to tho courts.
Soma one) baa oponed another argu
ment, desiring to know who has beon
mainly responsible for the growth of
baseball In tho post tho magnate, tho
player, tho fan or tho press?
Why not split It four ways and turn
attention to tho citizens who are about
to bo responsible for the Blump of base
ball In tho future?
The Sporting Accent
Toward and Johnson are planning
To leave each other virccks;
They'll battle down in Mexico
With the accent on tho (ilex.)
Here's another problem In Elementary
Therapeutics. If Roger Bresnahan was
willing to trade a ball player for a frog
what would John Med raw bo willing

ulating "graclousl" she has dropped the

called the tale unfounded and the fans
are now astounded, but their looks mar
not be quite so dumb and blank, when
they know, upon her finger, she's permit

diamond given her by Hank.

Welsh Very Modest, Oh Teat
Freddie Welsh Is a very modest chap.
Ho recently had his manager, Harry
Pollok, wire a Baltimore club that he
would be willing to battle with George
Chaney, the Southern featherweight
champion, If the Baltimore boy would
fight either on January 20 or 21, for a
guarantee of J1500, with tho prlvilego
of 5 per cent, of the house. The bout
must not be over six rounds, and no
decision must bo the verdict. Aside
from these stipulations Welsh Is per
fectly willing "to meet the knockout
king. No, wo forget one thing. Billy
Roche must be the referee.
"Either Welsh has an overestimated
Idea of his own value as a drawing
card or he paya Chaney a great tribute.
You can take It either way you choose.
To Hun or Not Is Question
Ted Meredith, who has been brought
into the limelight because of an ath
letlo eligibility question, will 'probably
know before nightfall whether he Is
to compete for Penn at Boston or not.
We hope the matter will be settled
without any gTeat difficulty.

PORTER SAYS HO
COMMISSION IS
NECESSARY HERE
Director Believes Boxing Is
Clean in This Cityand
Does Not Need Govern
ing Body.
Is there a need of a boxing commission
In Philadelphia? Director of Publlo
Safety George D. Porter says no. "The
puglllstlo sport In this city is running
along more smoothly, In fact, on a better
basis than any other fight centre In the
universe," remarked Mr, Porter.
"Boxing In this city doesn't need a
commission, as the promoters, managers,
boxors and the fans have not made any
complaints to the Department of Public
Safety since I have been In office, about
three years. As long as every one con
nected with the game is satisfied, I do
not see why an organization to control
the game Is necessary.
"I have barred but two fighters since
holding office. In both cases the men
deserved punishment and, as far as I
know, my decision met with the approval
of all persons Interested in the sport.
As long as the game continues to run
along smoothly I do not see why boxing
should be placed under the supervision of
a commission. -
"Several persons have asked me to in
troduce a commission. A State commis
sion Is out of my Jurisdiction and will
have to be proposed in the Legislature
But as far as. a city commission is con
cerned, I am satisfied with the way the
promoters are abiding by the Department
of Publlo Safety rulings.
"Personally, I like boxing myself, and
whenever I have the opportunity I attend
a show. I have never heard of any boxer
or promoter to go back on his contract.
As long as this continues the sport will
be clean.
