This page is primarily **advertising and convention promotion**, not political satire. The main content announces the Tenth Annual Convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America in Toronto (June 21-25, 1914), promoting the industry's movement toward "honesty and square dealing" in business and advertising. The right-hand column contains a baseball anecdote titled "About Diamond Stars," featuring **Mike Donlin**, a real pinch hitter for the New York Giants known for his combative temperament. The story illustrates Donlin's notorious conflicts with umpires—he was famously called a "bad boy" for frequent ejections. Manager Johnny McGraw allegedly asked St. Louis Cardinals manager Louis Heilbroner to control Donlin's behavior. The narrative humorously depicts Donlin greeting an umpire with "So you're here again, are you, you blind old bat?"—showing his characteristic insubordination. The page reflects early 1900s baseball culture where player discipline and umpire authority were contested.

WARFIELD, Manager About Diamond Stars By ED A. GOEWEY Mike Dontin Pinch Hitter ** Giants," N.Y. LOUIS HEILBRONER, now the presi. dent of the Central League, was man. eser of the St. Louis Cardinals for five days at the time when Johnny McGraw and Mike Donlin became members of that team through a trade. Even at that time Mike was decidedly ‘‘chesty,”” and his frequent clashes with the umpires caused him to be known among the indicator holders as a ‘*bad boy.’ Suspensiogs caused Donlin to occupy the bench the greater part of the time, and finally this forced McGraw to confer with Heilbroner, “Mr. Manager,’’ said Johany, “I think we could win more games if we could keep Mike off the bench. Can't youd something to stop him fighting with the umpires?"’ Heilbroner, who is about four feet eleven inches tall, assumed as much dignity as possible and emphatically de- clared, ‘I'll stop him. I'll fine him the next time he is put out of a game bya umpire.’” That same afternoon, as Umpire O'Day walked to the Cardinals’ playing beneh to get the batting order, Donlin greeted hin with: “So you're here again, are you, yo blind old bat?” “Yes, I’m here, Mr. Donlin, and yor are out of the game before it starts,” retorted O’Day. “That will cost you just one hundred dollars, Donlin,’’ interposed Heilbroner. “‘What’s that?’’ fairly yelled Mike. “You are fined one hundred dollars fe being put out of the game.’’ “Oh, I am, am I? Well, you litte shrimp, I'll show you!’? With thi Mike reached over and, grabbing Heb broner with one hand, pulled him off te ground. “Take the cover off the water bucket, Mac!’’ he roared at McGraw. ‘‘I’m goitg to drown this microbe of a manager “And I think he would have done it” said Heilbroner afterward, ‘‘if I hadot remitted the fine and resigned my jobs manager on the spot.’’ A teaspoonful of A Ritters with your G: makes an ideal appetia ie.
