A Casual Comment They are playfng ball ln Phllly, 'Till they've sent the bleachers Billy And the legions of fans have all gone mud: Connie Mack has braced them stronger, And there ls a doubt no longor That they're goln' to bring the bacon homo to Dad. Just like William Jennings Bryan, Detroit's dropping oft and dyin. Hughle Jennings ran them once too often, too; So they're lucky on decision, If they end the first division And p'raps that won't make some poor "dopesters" blue. On tho other hand, that cargo Labeled "Cube" from old Chicago, Have been going Bomo and load their league a lot; So that oven should they falter. And luck' tied 'em with a halter, They've got one "Chance" that tho Pirates Pi-rates haven't got. (That'H frank.) So I know I'm not eeceivn' When I say; "If luck breaks even And no otho rteams will load In place of those, . It's between the Cubs and Quakers .Who will be the pennant-takaia In the eeaaon that's now drawing to Its close." JACK DALY. I NATIONAL Won. Lost. P.C.
