CARRIERS CREEK STA, March 10th.
DEAR HERALD:-With the return of
Spring we notice the renewal of out
door sports, such as jumping, wrestling,
running, ETC., but the most unanimous
~ universal, unlimitedly undated, I'M
profitable undertaking is pitching.
From two to ten are daily engaged from
morn to noon, and from noon to night,
with untiring zeal worthy a moro i'm
proving employment. Maurice" and
'Tippo" are said to pitch delightful
shoe" and often get in counters with
telling effect upon their opponents, but
Frank Jackson" who says what he
don't know amt worth knowing, de-
clares "Fogie" and "Ffke' to be the
champions of the shoe tossing troop
We have sat and watched the eager con-
test long enough to see "Tippo" prevent
ed from getting in counter" by skill
full toss Of "Fike's" which knocked him
off the meg, and "Fogie" get in ''ring-
err" by adroitly displacing cleaner" of
Maurice's." I tell you, Mr.. EDITOR,
laughed at. Set your "megs" little
higher boys, and If you are as successful
in ''hitting the nail on the head'' in all
yoCr pursuits through life you will
most assuredly make your mark before
the ''game is up" In our present pere
grination permit us to pass from pitch
lug, TO perfumery, though the transit
ton may at first seem unreasonable.
