Georgs Ade Hears a Fable.

The first time the Washington baseball team played Chicago this season, George Ade, famous for his fables in slang, met a friend in the street, who said: “Come on, George, and see this Washington team. It’s a peach. It’s a hummer. It’s performance against Chicago will be as finished as the work of Jack Frost in a Georgia peach orchard.” “That,” said Ade, without cracking a smile, "sounds to me distinctly like a fable in slant.”— Popular Magazine.
