This page is primarily **advertising and sports content** rather than political satire. The main feature is "Yarns of the Ballplayers" by Ed A. Goewey, describing pitcher Otis Crandall of the St. Louis Federals (a rival baseball league to the majors, 1914-1915). The story illustrates Crandall's intelligence and psychological cunning: when a young, overconfident local player faces him in a crucial game moment, Crandall intimidates him with trash talk—threatening to reveal his low salary—causing the batter to strike out wildly. The anecdote celebrates mental strategy in baseball. The surrounding ads reflect early 1910s consumer culture: Coca-Cola emphasizes feminine beauty and wholesomeness; other ads promote patent services, medical knowledge books, watches, and cocktails. **No political cartoon appears on this page.** It's a sports narrative highlighting a pitcher's psychological tactics to win a game.

GOEWEY Otis Crandall St. Louis Federals ey TIS CRANDALL, for years with the Giants, but now on the staff of the St. Louis Federal team, is one of those twirlers who uses his head as well as his hands every minute he is on the mound, and it was for that reason he was so valu- able to McGraw when, as ‘‘rescue man"’ for the Giants, he gained particular dis- tinction by saving games for the other New York heavers when they began to show signs of distress. An incident which dem- onstrated Crandall's ability to size up a situation quickly happened soon after he joined the Giants. It was during a game in the middle West, and on the home team was a player who lived in the town and who was playing his first game before the home folks after being signed from a bush-league outfit. The recruit was more than anxious to make a fine showing, and in his first three times at bat he had been passed once and had doubled twice. With the score 3—2 in favor of the Giants, the home nine up for its half of the ninth inning, two out, and men on second and third, Crandall was rushed to the mound to save the day. The recent ‘‘busher,’’ swinging a big bat, walked to the plate with a smile of confidence, happy in the thought that on his first day at home he was going to put across he wallop which would win the con- test and make him a real hero in the eyes of his friends. Crandall had never pitched a ball to the youngster, knew none of his weaknesses, and feared that the recruit would pound his curves as hard as he had those of his predecessors. But Otis was not going to give up without a struggle. Rolling the ball in his hands with the ut- most deliberation, he looked straight at the batter and drawled, ‘‘Say, son, what are you grinning about? If you're getting stuck on yourself the first day out of the ‘sticks’ and think you're the sensation of this matinee, you better take another guess. If you don’t be good, I'll tell all these peo- ple what your real salary is."" At this sally the coming star wilted, and before he could pull his rattled nerves to- gether, he had lunged wildly at three wide ones and heard the umpire sing, ‘You're out!"* FINEST materials, expert mixing tomeasue and lastly aging in the wood give the ex. quisite blending, the delightful smoothness, the rare fragrance that no other method can produce.
