JINGLES OF SPORT

New York fan asks if John McGraw is losing his punch. Boy, go page Bill Byron. Jack Hendricks will spend the coming summer managing Boger Hornsby. Those weightless, pugless, roundless fights are not popular with the New York fistic public. Jack Dillon says that a life in the ring is easy after the first seventy-five years or so. The mat game is mighty healthy in Washington. Unk Samuel Is wrestling with a lot of problems. Heinie Zim has one great regret. He should have drawn salary from the White Sox for his services in the world’s series. The fighter who fights in times of peace is peaceful in times.of war. Fred Fulton has challenged everybody but the kaiser. Players traded by the Dodgers and Pirates have nothing on each other. Being a Dodger or a Pirate is fifty-fifty. The poor downtrodden ballplayers will have to carry their own luggage this season. But the poor downtrodden Pullman porters will not miss the liberal tips of other years.
