This page is primarily **advertising**, with one substantial satirical cartoon about baseball. ## "Next Season" Cartoon The main content is a dialogue cartoon mocking **baseball players' empty boasting**. A group of aging ballplayers sit around a stove, each claiming they'll dramatically improve their performance—batting averages, pitching curves, fielding skills—but always with the qualifier "Next season." The joke satirizes professional athletes' perennial optimism and excuses, suggesting they perpetually promise future greatness while delivering mediocrity. The final panel shows them collectively bragging about winning the championship "next season," with the caption "PITY 'TIS 'TIS TRUE"—implying this cyclical delusion is genuinely pathetic. The humor relies on readers' familiarity with baseball culture and the predictable nature of players' seasonal promises. ## Supporting Content The page includes advertisements for liqueur, shaving soap, home building plans, and medical treatments—typical Judge advertising. Several brief jokes appear, including one about a college kiss and remarks on marriage.

Two Scotchmen with a thirst counted up their joint possessions and found that they could just cover the price of a drink of whiskey. They went into the nearest saloon and ordered one drink, Sandy put- ting down the money for the same. Then arose a discussion as to how it could be disposed of to the best advan- tage. It was no Alphonse and Gaston discussion. Each was disposed to stand ‘on his own right, while at the same time admitting the claim of the other. At the critical moment a stranger en- tered the saloon, With a wink of his eye at his companion Sandy turned to the newcomer and said, “ Will you have a drink with us?” Supposing that the others had drank before his entrance, the stranger said heartily, «I will,” and emptied the glass. ‘There was an uncertain pause for a moment and then the third man sai “Come on, boys, and have one on me.” They had it. “As they went out Sandy wiped his mouth and said, «See, mon, it * was the reply; * but, oh ! what Philadelphia Record.
