By GRANT
The Song of the Rose
fine cut me foosc from my swaying stem
In the sweep of the silver ileio:
Bhe took mc away from my garden homo
And the old time friends I knew;
Awav from the fold of my ciimson clan
Through a hallway, dark and cool,
"Where she burled my thirsty, drooping lips
In the depths of a crystal pool.
Bhe brought me forth in the twilight shade
With a svtile, as her red lips pressed
Against my own, and her eyes ncre bright
As she placed my head on her breast;
And together vie wandered forth again
Where tho moon, danced through the
trees.
And tho breath of my clan came back to me
On the sweep of the twilight breeze.
Our pathway ted to the garden gate.
When out from the moonlight clear
Another came up the winding road
With an old-time song of cheer;
And side by side on the rustic bench
They sat, where the moon shone dim,
And when ho left for the road again
lie took me axoay with him.
Be opened a dusty book one night
Where I had lain through the years;
And his eyes, half-closed in the loticsame
room
Looked out through a mist of tears;
And he kept mo there till tho gray dawn
swept
The shadow awav with its gleams;
"Ashes of roses" heard him say
"Ashes of roses and dreams."
Is It necessary that everything In a
iporting column be about sport? Not at
all. For that mutter, Isn't practically
very detail of the miniature gnme called
life ono form uf sport, or another? Or Is It?
Lest One Forgets
Those who aio shaking their heads tragi
cally over tho long Western trip the Bed
Box must face In Spetember might as well
remember this spicy detail also;
That while Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit
and Cleveland are chopping away at one
another around the first ten day? of Sep
tember, the ned Sox will be flirting coyly
with the Mackmen, tho Nationals and the
Yanks. By that time thoy should hae
rathered up sufficient margin to protect any
late September slump.

In that statement
Veterans Do Well
But don t get thu Idea that It was a slow
bout between a couple of old men In
stead. It was just the opposite John Henry
and his rlvnl put up a swell scrap and pulled
somo stuff that made the voutliful boxers
on tho hill look ery sid They worked
hard In oery round and there was not n
second of stalling The Bud got a trllle
tired In the sixth and a.it down to rest for
nlno seconds, but that wns accotdlng to
llojle and ho cannot be blamed for It
Tho last time these oternns met. Mr
Johnson wns knocked out This time ho

of Mr. Johnson, mid It would bo against tho
rules of the union to ruin It when a hard

Willie and I'cte Perform
Another bout which Is worthy ot men

bantams fought all over the ling nnd had
the spectators on their feet yelling them

PHILS' PROTEST
IS DISALLOWED
BY J.K TENER
President Baker Issues
Statement Saying the
Matter Is Closed
UMPIRE RIGLER UPHELD
President William I' Baker, of the Phil
llcs, received an official communication this
morning from President John K Tencr, of
tho .National League, stating thnt tho pro
test of the Philadelphia National League
basoball chili of August It had been dis
allowed The protest It will bo it mem
bored, was made after I'mplro Charley
Itlglcr compelled two Phllly band runnel h
to return to their former stations bec.uiie
ho stated, n spectator had touched Mill
Klllcfcr's long drive to left center
Tho plav In auction occurred In s, game
with Cincinnati The visitors were lead
ing b one run when the Phillip i went to
bat In the tenth inning Stock was on
second base and Dngey on third I-JIUcfct
stepped to the pinto nnd clinvo the bill
against the bleurher wall In left center. Tho
lilt piobablj u. vilil luivo been good for a
home run. scoring Stock and liugty with
the tying nnd w lulling inns Both players
crossed tho plate nnd tho fans, thinking the
contest wns over, swarmed on tho field
Reds Then Win
The Plilllv and Cincinnati players had
Htm ted to the clubhouso when somo one
noticed Itlgler Indulging in n wild brand of
calisthenics It was ultimately learned that
he wished the game to continue and that
ho had seen a spectator touch tho ball which
Klllcfcr had hit finally the Held was
cleared and tho game resumed, Stock going
back to second and liugey to third The
Phils wero retired and Cincinnati won the
game
Pat Morau nnd President Baker got to
gether after the game and sent In their of
ficial piotest to President Tenor Tills
morning linker gave out tho following
statement "I wish to announce to the
patt ons of the Philadelphia NntUnial League
Club that President Tcnei, ot tho Na
tional League, has icftf-cd to allow the
protest mule by this club on tho decision
of Umpire Itlgler In the game plned on
August 11 with tho Cincinnati club I nm
vcrv much disappointed nt his decision, for
it seemed apparent to cverbody who wit
nessed tin- game that tho umplio was at
fault I can take no other couri-o thin to
accept this decision with as good gracu as
possible."
As a matter of fact, the Phillies did not
have a leg to stand on In t licit protest.
Tho only question was Illglcr's decision mi
whether a t-pectator did touch tho ball
Many fans seemed to think that ho did
wrong when he tent yio two base runnel s
back to the bigs from which they stalled
Thero Is nothing In that The blockt d b ill
Is plainly worded In tho codo nnd Itlgler
simply followed the rule.
Umpire Is Final Judge
Tho umpire Is solo and final judge of tho
events as the occur on tho biscbnll Held
This was not a matter of Judgment or
Interpretation, but of fact Itlgler said that
ho saw a ipectator touch tho ball. That
virtually imled tho innttei
Tho Phillies have been sore nt Itlgler
over slnco that decision wns mado and havo
claimed that his bad decisions havo lost
them sit games from August 11 to date.
Moran stated In Pittsburgh that ho was
going to mako n protest against Itlgler'.s
continuous umpiring In tho Phillies' g-itne.
Pat villi claim that Itlgler has worked In
the Phillies' contests moro than any other
umpire nnd that a shift should be mule

CLUBS CAN HELP OUT
Tho Hockfonl Tennis Club Ins decided to

ship tournament that hns been n tlxturo nt
the public courts in Kalrmotint Park for
many jcars At least, the eicnt will not
be held In the future urdcr tho nusplcos ot
tint otgaut7ntlon
There me n number of reasons for this
action but the most liiipoltnnt one Is that
the It.irkfoid Tennis Club has In pist yeilM
luul to .dig into Its trensnty to nuke up a
Pig deficit It Is almost Imporslble to rim
a tournament on entrance fees alone, and
the ni.ipjorlty of tho members cannot nffoid
to runt! Unite, to a tournament fund
It Is too bad that this fixturo should go
bv the board, but It will unless the various
tennis and country clubs nrouiid Philadel
phia help out These clubs can mako the
tournament for the public pirk plijcrB pos
sible every year by setting nslde a fixed
sum. which It Is almost cettnln, could bo
raised by general subscription
All but n vcrj few of the country's leading
lights of tennis began ns public park plajers.
If tho useis of the courts In Kalrmount
Park could have tho same advantages ns
those In other sections (ioldcn Onto Park,
