Incidentally the favorite baseball paper this summer, if merit counts in making popularity, will be the Evening World. With the best baseball men in the country, Allen Sangree and Bozeman Bulger, sticking closer to the Giants and the Highlanders then the lamb ever stuck to Mary, there will be little of straight baseball or the humorous incident characteristic of the game that readers of the Evening World will miss.
In fact, Mr. Sangree and Mr. Bulger are sure to knock out a home run every day.

On October 2, 1908 Allen Sangree was asked by William McMutrie Speer (a member of the editorial staff of the New York World) via the city editor George Carteret,
to locate some Panamanians who had recently came to town with a possible connection to William Nelson Cromwell and the Panama Canal. Allen was unable to locate them, reported back to the editorial staff with no story and the assignment was crossed off. However Allen's investigation did appear to have stirred up William Nelson Cromwell's PR staff who approached Caleb Van Hamm (the managing editor) and "demanded ... what the World meant by getting after his boss without giving him a look-in."
