That they roasted Byron, too',

When I think, that Burns was toasted,

Keats and Wordsworth badly toasted,
And I murmur: "Why not ME?"
Let the critics clip their tether.
Light on us like sloppy weather;

Simply scribble all the more.

If Kid Dante's fame was looted,
If old Burns and Keats were booted

John Franklin Baker
If tho lure ot tho game, plus the

Frank Baker back under tho harness.
Mack's job of making another pennant

Even without Baker, Connie lias n
fair ball club left, but no machine can
loso two such stars as Collins nnd
Baker, plus two such veterans as Ben-,
der and Plank, without skidding bad
ly. Baker wns a great man for a ball
club, because he was a fair Intlelder
nnd one of the grandest hitters of the
sun-kissed industry known In scholas
tic parlance as tho School of Swat.
Favorite Poetical Lines
Connlo Mack's "Gone, all gone, the

Frank Baker's "Good-by, proug

Jack Johnson's "As Idlo as a painted

"Kopf now playing third for Baker"
and "Kopf now batting for Baker" are
not exactly one and tho same, even as
to sentiment.

Enlarging the Cup
George Duncan suggests that tho
putting green cup, not the one at the
19th hole, be considerably enlarged. It
probably never will be, but Duncan Is
undoubtedly right. There are at least
six clubs in the bag of the average
golfer. Of th?se the putter does 50 per
cent, of the work, which is a lopsided
proportion. Putting, for a good part,
is more a matter of how one happens
to feel on a certain day, a matter of
how one's mental attitude is adjusted.

flle n,ml 0U1i Df the doubles racquet
championship ot tho united States at tho
Itncquet Club today. Pell nnd Mortimer
won by i to 3 Knmes, but they won only
by the skin of their teeth, anil the re
sult was renllv In doubt until tho last
uce had been won and lost.
SecliiB that Pell, nntl Mortimer hnd ob
tained such an overwhelming lead In the
mntch on January SO, when Pell wns In
jured. It would have been exceedingly
'nurd luck for the New Yorlteis had they
not won today. They deserved thefr
victory, but so splendidly did Davis piny
that he can bo considered unlucky In
losing.
The titleholders had nil the advantage
In the tlrst game. They put out their op
ponents without scoring and replied with
three aces, nnd following a run of three
nces by Pell and Mortimer they took
the score to seven to four In their favor.
Putting their opponents out ngaln with
out scoring they ran to 12 to 4. l'cll
nnd Mortimer took their totnl to eight in
two hands, but Davis and Wcnr ran out
the game 15-S The second game was
splendidly contested.
Dnvls nnd Wear ran to nine to none
In the second game, six service aces by
Davis being warmly applauded. Between
them Mortimer and Pell scored flvo aces
In their first hands Davis and Wear re
plied with one. Pell and Mortimer scored
four nces at their next attempt, but Davis
and Wear ran up a sequence of four nces.
When needing only ono nee to give them
the game, however, they lost tho service
and with a run of six nces by Pell, and
Mortimer, the score wns called 14 all", set
3. Kach scored threo aces, but with
Mortimer serving, tho New Yorkers ran
out tho game.
Pell and Mortimer were seen to great
advnntage In tho third game. With two
runs of two aces, one of five nnd another
of six to runs of three, one and three
they ran out the game, 15-7. Tho fourth
gamo was Just as close as the second
and only ono nee divided tho contestants
at the llnlsh. Pell and Mortimer did not
add to their scoro of the previous gnme
and Davis nnd Wear ran up seven aces
before being put out. Pell and Morti
mer scored only threo aces in their next
two hands, but with a run of four Dnvls
and Wear brought their total up to dou
ble figures. '
On putting their opponents out without
scoring, however, Pell and Mortimer
scored five aces In a row. Two more by
Davis and Wear took them to within
two points of game, but their opponents
were by no means done with, nnd with
a run of four nces they made the score
13 all, set three. Two service aces by
Mortimer made the score 1M3 In favor
of the New Yorkers, Imt they lost the
service and their opponents made It 15
all, when In their turn they lost the
service. Pell was put out without scor
ing, but Mortimer's service produced one
ace nnd be and his partner won the
Unme, 16-15.
With the score 3 to 1 against them,
the titleholders came right back at their
opponents. The score was called eight
all In the fifth game, but after that Davis
and Wear forged a head and won, 15-11.
Keeping up tne gooa work, they thrilled
the spectators bv some exceptionally fine
work Jn the Blxth name, which they won,
15-9. The last game was wonderfully
exrltlng.
Neither side could get going although
Davis and Wear held tho lead at four to
one and seven to four. Their opponents
then made It seven all and ten to seven
In their favor.
Neither scored for a couple of hands,
but Davis and Pell made It ten all. It
looked all over when Tell and Mortimer
ran their total to H. A run of three nces,
however, by Pavls and Wear made the
score li all, set three. The holders lost
the service at this critical stage of the
game an din Mortimer's next hand the
challengers ran out the, game and match.

Merely for Information
You may come in here and thump usl
wc wish to start a rumpus, '
But our curiosity has never died;
Henry dowdy do not scold us, but no
one has ever told us
Did you ever, Mister Gowdy, get your
bridet
APROPOS of Gowdy, it will bo.in
xxtercsting to note how he stands
up thla year under tho laudation of
press nnd bleachers that is tho lot of
the world series hero.
The Usual Stuff
Xow thatJJaker has announced his
Intention of retiring, wo may expect a
chorus from the knockers about how
ho was all in, anyhow. All of which
should worry Baker.
Another Visitor
Tho fighters are still wandering in
from the Pacific coast, Ray Camp
bell, Frisco lightweight, Is the latest.
Ho wants to fight Itobldcau.
How Peculiar
The skill of tho new Indoor baseball
game, talte it from us, is in hitting the
ball where it -will count. Which is
merely a revision of Willie Keeler's
hitting them where they meaning tho
flllders ain't.
There Is Hope
The baseball war is fizzling out
And Ban, is losing face,'
When two'base hits begin to sprout
They crated Tilm out for space.
According to interviews flashed from
the Pad do coast, Ban is still dreaming
that it lies In his hands to make n,
major league. Some day he'll try It,
and the fans will wake him up.
Won't Hold Johnson Up
WASHINGTON. Feb, 10 C-eneral Carranra
probably will allow Jack Johnson to pas
through his Meilcsn sphere ot Influence, ao
cording to the Constitutionalist agency here to
dy. It was stated that originally Carranu In
tended to hold Johnson at Temptco. I.ater be
received dispatches from a number of El paso
business men asking- that tha pugilist be per
mitted ta proceed to Juarez. Indications were
said to b he ivould comply
CHICAGO. Feb. ID.-Jack Johnson may show
his golden teetb In Chicago soon. United
States District Attorney Cbarlta V. Clyne
threw out this bint today and admitted that
tb negro bt&vywelght pugilist might now be
on hia way, from Tumplco to Chicago Instead
of Juarea.
"I wouldn't be surprised If Johnson showed
up hera In two or three days," said Clyne.
"Will his coming be voluntary!" ho was
asked.
"Negotiation," said tb DUtrtet Attorney,

BALTIMORE, Md Feb. 19. It looks
now as If pretty much all tho horses In tho

tho .nanagement has application for SS7

say that nt least 1000 horses will be
biought to the meeting If accommodations
can Lo hnd for them.

adjoining the track and given out con
tracts for two more big stables, which

Quadruped Canine, Why Not?
There Is ono pugilist in this country
who, nt least, will nover loso his
nanny. It is Dolg's Goat, of Milwau
kee, What a. wonderful chance for tho
wags. We hate to do it. You pull one.
What's a Novice?
The novlco question has never been
settled and probably never will. How
ever, tho High Schools Committee of
New York city has ruled that a man
who wins a medal In a cross-country
event is not to bo rated as an "open"
athlete. This committee Is certain that
it will only be fafr to tho athletes to
grant tho prlvllego of winning across
country and still permit them to be
eligible for track-and-field events. The
Amateur Athletic Union might tako a
hint.
It Waa a Pretty Thins
Of course, It -n as a woman who had
never played in a golf tournament be
fore. At" tho Lakesldo Club, ot Taco
ma, a young lady ventured forth with
only a brasslc. Sho drove, approached,
putted and played in tho bunkers with
the ono club.
"Why didn't you bring your other
club?" asked a woman friend.
"Too much trouble to carry them all
around," replied the one-club player,
"so I picked out tho prettiest one."
Don't Blame Us
An athletic friend of ours came into
this office today and remarked that ha
had eaten soft boiled eggs and toast
for breakfast, and suffered nervous in
digestion, Instantly ono of the wits
shot back, "Maybe the eggs were laid
by nervous hens."
