It may bo stanch (is any oak;
But this fs tcAa! I'd like to know
ll'lll lffflard ever meet the Smoker
J'ou read of how the big guns slay
As out the field the troopers go;
Or where V. Castle leads the play
Athwart tho light fantastic too;
Or Andy with more coin to blow
That stuff to. mo is all a joke;
But this is what I'd like to fcitoti)
Will H'll'ti-a et;er meet tho Smokel
Does nroiflltfoti always payt
Or does it end the liquid flowt
Will T. Ii. And the old-time way
And string again Ms ancient bowt
Such dope is pittifcertasimo.
Enough to make a walrus choke;
But this Is what I yearn to know
Will Willard ever meet the Smoker
And if ha does, who'll cop the dough f
Who'll slip across the tclnning poker
Aye, this is what I yearn to know
Mil" trifford ever beat the Smoker
"Sam Crawford in better chape than
ever." Why not? They're making all the
RIego Guns bigger now.

Johnson's Handicap
A bunch of ball players the other night
were discussing the case of Walter John
son as a pitcher. All agreed that the
Blonde Shrapnel was a pretty fair work
man as it was, Hut It was alto agreed
that Johnson would be almost unhlttable,
bound nil range, If he ever adopted the
tactics used hy most successful Blabmen
that Is, tho policy of shooting a stray
shot at the batsman's onion once In a
while. This system has kept many pltch
ei s up In tho winning rnnks, as It has a
decided tendency to drivo the nthlete hack
from tho plate and wotk upon his norves.
But Johnson never us"a It, and mainly
for tho reaflon that tho batsman would
havo only an outsldo clianco of ducking
the shot as propelled by Walter's nun,
and If the shot ever lauded bquarely John
son would have the ghost or a dead man
stalking his sleep. jThcre nro times when
it is a handicap W havo an excessive
amount of n certain article on hand.
