The other day someone
Told Chief Eurich that
A corpse down at the
Morgue resembled him
Very much, and th- Chief
Wanting to see how he
Vould appear when dead
Went down to the morgue.
"He was a fine looking
Corpse," remarked the Chief,
Not particularly paying
Any compliment to himself.
But if you ever notice the
Only time they say a person
Is gooo" looking is when
They're dead Expressions
Like "My, he looks natural
Or fine," are quite the
Common things, which is another
Proof you've got to die to
Make 'em appreciate
You or to have nice
Things said about you.

Some bold mad man who
Probably wears a wrist watch
Has threatened to shoot us.

1IK OF CLUBS
THINGS THAT
PLAYING
By Jack
! New ork, July 7. One of the
jcouotdy's greatest sports champioiH
1 ars. , from the ranks of title holders
at Newark a short time ago win n
Frank Kramer was deimsed as king
cf the bike riders by Arthur Spencer,
the Canadian rider.
Kramer held the national cycling
title for sixteen years, during which
Cnie he earned in the neighborhoi 1
of $2I),0(H in the vehmrontos of the
country. His first won the title In
1901. defeating
Vailsburc In one
Major Taylor at
of the greatest, se
lies of races in
tae history of cy-
cling, and although many crack
rid-
they ers, came to the frot during Kram
ler's lonf? years as the forniost rider
on American tracks, he beat them ail
and beat them badlv.
Twice during his long career Kram
er has been recognized as the world's
champion. His first won the title in
1!il2 by defeating a crack held at the
Newark velodrome composed of Wal
ter Rutt, Alfred Grenda and Andre
Perchicot. This meeting of tho pick
of the world's riders was witnessed by
the largest crowd that ever paid to
see hike riders perform at Vailsburg,
more than l-V'eo persons being pres
ent when Kramer annexed the world's
cycling crown.
Kramer took his recen; defeat like
a great champion should, but an in
cident in connection with it was a
heart breaker for him. He entered
the semi-finals matched with Goullet,
while Spencer was pitted against, his
hrother, Willie, whom he defeated.
Kramer, who was tired and unable
to set his usual pace against Goul
let, was fined $10 by the referee, who
asserted he was not trying to win,
and the old champ entered a strong
ate ; protest, declaring it was the first
itime in his long career that he had
jever been accused of quitting or fak
ing. That fine was a bitter pill for
the man who put Orange, N'. J., on
the mn p.
Clean living has been Ihe secret of ,
Kramer's long and successful career
on the tracks, lie entered the cy
cling game on the advice of a phy
sician, for he was in delicate health
ns a youngster and in need of some
form of outdoor exercise that would
build up his body. He was born at
Kvansville. 1ml., thirty six years ago, j he could comb from the minors and
although he has lived most of his.try to make the grade with a misfit
life ut Orange, which is his home at ' aggregation. And It proved too
present. j much even for the Irish-,

THE FIELD
Veiock,
The defeat of Frank Kramer marks
the passing of a wonderful shampion,
for when his age is considered it is
something cf a marvel that he should
be capable of oui iding and out gam
ing dozens of younger, and perhaps
stronger riders, who were seeking his
crown. Few champions in snorts are
able to cling to the pinnacle of their
.class after they reach the age of
thirty, and in many sports branches
the age limit of endurance is below
that mark.
CALLAHAN'S FATE PREDICTED.
The dismissal of Jimmy Callahan
as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates
did not come as a surprise to the
baseball pubile, although it occurred
sooner than had been expected.
That a change in managers was
due to come at Pittsburgh had been
predicted as a early as May 15, when
the. Pirates began.- to prove conclu
sively that they were not going to be
any kind of a factor in the National
League race. Callahan failed to get
results with the new talent he eor
roled, chiefly because he had too
many unexpected players In the
lineup. He weeded out a number of
the old heads when he first took the
reins at Pittsburgh' and started in to
build up a club of his own picking.
But, fortunitely for Cal. the
players he selected were not heavy
enough to fill the shoes of the old
timers who were shunted off to other
clubs and Harney Dreyfuss soon tired
of tho Connie Mack policy of picking
a club at random and experimenting
with players until the right combina
tion could be gotten together.
No doubt Callahan was forced to
work on a rather meager financial
basis during part of his term as man
ager, but the real blow , suffered by
the Pirates was their failure to pull
off a big deal with St Louis lust
Winter. In anticipation of closing a
Rucensful ileal
for Hornsby and Sny-
jder, Callahan and Dreyfuss let a
number of their available, players get
aw'ay, and when the deal with the
Cards fell through the Pirate Board
of strategy was up against It. So
Callahan had to take what players
pro brand wit:-be popular in every ;
village and hamlet. There' is not a'
r.ity in the Triple, Optic circuit that;
cannot support a Betnl-pro team, and j
it's a cinch that a good many niana-i
per i are willing to float Ihe prospects j
of a Be nil -pro ball club. j
Thv-re .Is no nilietition but what flock j
Island, Moino and pPaveuport .will put'
forth very ' fasti nemlpro teams and'
(hat tlie game will thrive; "" j
Because of tho War baseball should j
not die - and 1 hoses interested in tha
iteut'tiatit.nal game should nee to It j
that interest is kept bIIvb in the sport. I

At a recent banquet given by business men in a city
not far distant, considerable pride was taken in the fact
that everything upon the banquet table was produced in
that city. x
The programs were home printed, the bread home
made, the vegetables home grown, the meats from ani
mals home raised, the beer home brewed. The "home
industry" idea was practically and thoroughly worked
out. '
When you buy a glass of beer or have a case sent to
your home, why not always order
