This is primarily an **advertising page** with a small sports humor section. The main content consists of liquor advertisements (Chartreuse, White Rock mineral water, G&W whiskey, Hunter Baltimore Rye) and a subscription pitch for *La Follette's Weekly*, a progressive political magazine. The only satirical content is a brief "Diamond Stars" column by Ed. A. Goewey featuring baseball anecdotes: 1. **Napoleon Lajoie** (Cleveland Naps player) attends a boxing match and humorously confuses baseball with boxing—the joke being the difference is merely which implement hits you (bat vs. glove). 2. **George Mullin** (former Detroit Tigers pitcher) now works as a clerk and admits he was wrong to criticize official scorers—implying accounting/clerical work is harder than he thought. 3. A domestic humor piece about the Malloons exchanging a cow as birthday gifts due to being busy. The satire is gentle workplace humor rather than political commentary.

About Diamond Stars By ED 4. GOEWEY ey His Compari- son NAPOLEON LAJOIE, the demon bat wielder of the Cleveland Naps, re. cently accompanied a friend to & boxing match, “Great stuff!’’ said Larry, at the em. clusion of the battle; ‘but can you tel me the difference between baseball ad boxing?”” “‘Nope. Never tried to dope it out,” was the reply. “Well, it’s this way,”’ explained Lamy. “In baseball we hit ’em with the bet, while in boxing they hit ’em with te glove, and when you get a hit in basebal you’re safe, and when you get hit in be ing you're very liable to be out.” GEORGE MULLIN, not so long ago te star pitcher of the Detroit Tiges, is now working as an entry clerk in th recording office of County Treasurer Steis, at Detroit. After tackling the first string of figures, George openly declared thath: was more than willing to apologize fora the harsh things he had said in the pat about official scorers making mistakes Keeping It in the Family It was Mrs. Malloon’s birthday, si she felt a trifle disappointed that the was no gift beside her plate.
