lon. Johnny Kilng, promter catcher,
and holdout man of the National Base
ball league, is in Kansas City, Indulg
ing In hlis annual fit of sulkiness over
the matter of signing a Cub contract.
Manager Chance recently put one
straight over on the catcher, declaring
that Kllng was on the toboggan and
cotiW not last another season in fast
company. That remark rolled Johnny,
who expected to he lthe mainstay of
the champilons behind the bat, with
Jimmy Archer playing slb for the hoam
at first base.
Rumor has it that Jimmy Callahan,
once a member of tle White oox pitch
ing and fielding staff, is again under
ca.ptrct to play with Comiskey. While
both thq. "Old lomatn" and Cal deny
that there sl such a contract, the fact
remains that Callahan is training with
the oonltngent in the south and may
again cavort on the south side Chicago
,ideld. With "Jiggs" Donohue playing
fIrst 'base again for the Box, It looks
as thought Plelder Jones might want
to get Into harness w.ith Comiskey.
WVa lter Johnson, p)remier twirler lwith
the Washington Nationals, btellev. that
20 games a season Is sufficient for a
pitcher to twirl. Johnson thinks the
wo.rk too strenuous these days and ree
o4mtends less work for a pitcher.
President Cohn of the Spokane
Northwestern flague team, has begun
pruning. Two pitchers were lopped off
ialst week and others are slated for re
leaitse this week. Cohn figures that he
has as strong a hurling satff as he1
nettle. to go through the season and is
pnrtleularly sweet on his Infield as it
looks at present. Cohn is alfter that

CASEY'S REVENGE

There were saddened hearts in Mud.
vIlln for a week or oven moro;
There were mntterel oaths and courses
-et'vey fall in town was sore;
"Jult think," mill one, "9ow soft it
looked wIth Casey at tie bat,
And then to think he'd go and spring
aIt bush-le'ague trick like that.
His npost fame was forgotten now--he
was a hopeless shine;
They ralled .him "Rtrikeout Casey"
fron the mayor down the line:
And an he cam.r to bat eachl day his
bosom heaved a nigh,
While a look of hopeless fury shone in
Mighty Carey's eye.
lie pondered on the days gone by that
he had been their king:
That when he -atentered to the plate
they made the welkin ring;
But now his nerve had vanished-for
when he heard them hoot
He "fanned" or "popped-out" daily like
some minor-loagte recrult.
lie noon began to sulk and loaf-hts
batting eye went lame: -
No home rune on the scorecard now
were chalked against his name;
The fans without exception gave the
manager no peace,
Ior one and all kept clamoring for
Casey's quick reloase.
The Mndylle squad began to slump
the team was in the air;
Their playing went from bad to worse
-nobody seemed to care;
"Bhak to the woods with Casey" was
the cry from Rooters' row;
"dlet somlno who can hit the ball and
let that big dub got"
The labn Is long, someone has said,
that never turns again:
And Pate, ttough fickle, often gives
a Idnp r hdnie to men;
And Cass (fliled; hi rugged face no
loneI 4iwore a frown
Tihe pitcher who had started all the
trouble came to town.
All Mundvlllo had assembled-ton thou
sand tIias had come
To see the bIlrler who had put old
Casey on the bum;
And when he etepped into the box the
multitude went wild;
lie doffed lins hat In proud disdain
bllt ( sey only smiled.
"Play ball!"-tho Iumpire's voice rang
out, and then the game begmn:
nut in that throng of thousands there
was not a single fan
Who thought that Mudvlllo had a
chance, and with the setting stun
Their hopes sank low-the rival team
was leading "4 to 1."
The last half of the ninth came round
with no change In the score;
But when the first man up hit safe the
crowd began to roar;
The din increased, the echo of ten
thousand shouts was heard
When the pitcher hit the second and
gave "four balls" to the third.
Three nlen on base-nobody out-three
runs to tie the game:
A triple meant the highest niche In
fudvllle's hall of fame:
TIut here the rally ended and the gloom
was deep as night
When the fourth "fouled to catcher"
and the fifth "flew out to right."
A dismal groan tn ghorus came: a
scowl was on each face,
When Casey walked up, bat In hand,
and slowly took hisl place;
His bloodshot eyes in fury gleamed
his tenth were clenched In hate:
To gRve hlis eap a vlolous Ilook attd
lotltlded onthe plate.
fut fame is floeeting as the wind and
glory fades away:
Therer wore no 'wld and woolly cheers
-no glad acclalm that day;

Buit Casey gave no OUtwhrd sign thiat

however, han thus far played the hbet

hurled with more sucess than Lund
Strom. The games between these
tenam8 will hoe Interesting and their
fight for senond place will be clone.
One thing in certain now that the
seanon is far enough advanced to Judge.
That is, that indoor baseball has come
to stay. Already the league is plan
ning for I more elaboratn season next
year, which, if Ihe planes to through,
will make the Name an accepted winter
sport here. This year the fact that the
gnmes had to be played at the univer
lRty was a great disadvantage, biut next
year it, is planned ta, hold the entire
series in sone down-town iall.
As it is the final gamles this year
will be played In Ilenneyt hiall. The
first and second teams will play three
games for the championship and then a
picked team will meet the crack Helena
nggregation for the state title. Thern
is no reason why these games shllould
not bee well attlended. The game is
mighty interesting, for It has all of the
Interesting featulres which go with the
outdoor game.
There are still seven more games to
be played before the end of the series.
Four regular games and three for the
championship. The sohedule is as fol
