**Left side ("About Diamond Stars"):** This celebrates "Three-Finger" Brown, a real pitcher for the St. Louis Federals and former Chicago Cubs star. The anecdote illustrates his dominance—despite his infielders' errors, he strikes out the final two batters effortlessly. The phrase "three-finger" likely references an injury; Brown was famous despite having lost fingers. The piece nostalgically recalls the Cubs' early 1900s dynasty. Below that, "Spoiled His Vacation" is a brief comedic poem about an employee who took time off, only to discover the young office clerk performed his duties so capably that the boss no longer values him. **Right side:** This is primarily a **Schlitz beer advertisement** claiming the brown bottle protects beer from light damage (a legitimate concern for product quality). A secondary ad for the Whittier Inn resort in Sea Gate, New York rounds out the page. The page blends sports nostalgia with advertising—typical Judge magazine content mixing entertainment, humor, and commercial sponsorship.

THEY tell a good yarn concerning the Chicago Cubs in the days when they were in their glory and when winning was a regular habit with them. ‘‘Three- finger’” Brown was the king of the twirl- ing staff, and the infield consisted of Chance, Evers, Tinker and Steinfelt. One day when Brown was pitching, the opposing club went to bat in the ninth inning with the score two runs against them, and it looked like a cinch for a Chicago victory. First Evers booted the ball, then Steiny contributed a similar error, and as an evidence that no favorit- ism was being shown, Tinker did the same thing. At this point one run had been scored by the visitors, one man was out, and two were on bases. “Don’t worry, old man,’’ said Tinker, as he picked up the ball and handed it to Brown. ‘‘We'll get the next two, sure.’” “You won't get a chance?” snapped the twirler, as he began to wind up, with determination sticking out all over him. “T'll get them myself."” And he did. He sent the ball over the plate with such speed for the next two batters that they never even got a foul. Spoiled His Vacation E THOUGHT no clerk could do his work When his vacation came; He thought the boss would feel his loss, And all the others blame, He thought the store would suffer more Through his two weeks away Than if the boss had gone across The continent to stay. And now he’s mad; the office lad Now does the work he did, And the fool boss proceeds to toss Bouquets at that fresh kid. —Wm, 8. Adkins. your Grape Fruit ‘ot bitters by matt, more, Md.
