Max Carey is supposed to have
signed a contract with the Pirates
yesterday. He was being sought by
the Feds, and was looked on as a
certain acquisition by the newcom
ers. '
Joe Jackson, demon slugger of
the Naps, was offered $65,000 for .a
three-year contract by the Feds, but
says he "hardly considered it." Joe
will not join the Nap t training squad
until April 1 on account of the illness
of his father.
If Willie Ritchie continues to post
pone his fight withHarlem Tommy
Murphy it is possible the New Yorker
will leave the coast in disgust, and
attempt to arrange a battle with Ad
Wolgast, to be settled either in Mil
waukee or New York.
Such a mill would be a great at
traction, and if Ritchie refused to
meet the winner he would be hooted
from the ring.

THE MOUTH-WATERING PLACE
By Berton Braley.
The candy shop's certainly highly at
tractive; I gazejn its window each day,
.And wish with a wisher' decidedly
active
- To sample the wares on display;
A fgruiterer's window is "quite pre
possessin'," With grapes and with apples ga
lore, For best of them all is the Delica
' tesseh
Store!
One gazes with glee on delectable
salads " " "
And roasts that are luscious and
red;
On pickles and cheese that' are
worthy of hallads
And'beautlfiil carraway bread;
To know y hat to buy keeps you
"plahnuV and guessln';"
You want to get things by the
score,
For tempting, indeed, is the Delica
tessen Store!
Now some of us hanker for riches
enormous,
For auto.s and aeros and such,
For houses to shelter and furs just to
. warm us, 1 ,
But those don't appeal to me,
much;
If I had my wish there'd be only one
"blessinV
One single rich gift I'd implore; ,
I'd think myself rich were I only
"possessin' " -A
Delicatessen
Store! '
