| Fort Smith Times: The game Tuesday, from
the standpipe Of the water works in Van Buren,
was Montana Butte. From the standpoint oi
the Fort Smithian 1t was badly decayed. The
score at the end of the first half of the ninth In.
ming was eight to one In favor of the Browns.
Eight TO one.
or Liar wish or desire to be stretched out further
upon the rack of this hateful story!
Eight to one.
Think off Eight to one! Too bad. Toe
bad. Two very bad ones In the seventh inning
with the ball wandering waif over the fence
to parts unknown.
Particulars
No, leave the particulars to those whose de.
PRAYED tastes revel in things rotten and let us
give the reader only the runs of the score merely
the runs and nothing more.
Merely the runs of the score and nothing more.
The grounds were wet. But what Of that ?
Who cares whether the ground was wet OF
whether the Browns had wiped up the earth
with TILES Mutuals? The grounds were very
wet up to the time Of opening the game at D.
m, but after that they dried up rapidly. The
tanning Of TILES Mutuals at McCormack's me-
teOrs was quick dryer
The attendance was good-yery good for SO wet
q day. 1T was Decoration day attendance and
everybody was wreathed In smiles as they pas ]
ed each other by In the push to get to the
grand stand.
Those smiles, Where are they now?
Those beautiful smiles that wreathed faces OF
indigenous beauty like the crescent welcome to
the coming star, where are they now?
They lie withered and soiled trampled under
foot and spit upon In the pathway Of the victor
iOus Browns and the routed TILES Mutuals
Like sweet dreams of childhood. like rosy apples
that hung within easy reach ard to be had for
al n m thlV ha tvurn naA tko
The game-well the game was all right, except
that the wrong club got caught in the storm TIE
The Browns did likewise Mccormack. pitcher
for the Browns lifted bis hind leg trifc higher
than usual and gave the ball little more push
than usual. TILES new uniforms then to the
field while the Brownies tried the bat The
feature of the moment was the appearance In the
box of the TILES Mutuals new pitcher, Ed Herr
He has the cutaway build Of q pitcher and the
step Of pitcher. and the delivery OF pitcher,
to one run until the fifth inning when they run
away and played smart, knocking Ave spOkes
out Of the wheel The Galcatcher went to the
box1Gilpatrick He succeeded in hoodooing
the Browns for an inning, and then they broke
over the fence and trampled down all the shrub
berry in the neighbOrhOod. 1t was cake walk
for two Of the Browns and two more walking
sticks were hung up with the previous six, max
ing eight black marks in all to decorate the wall
After this the Judgement
Nothing was made by the Browns iu the eighth,
and the ninth they didn't play because they
didn't 'hafter"
TILES sofcrino set hatched out one little one
in the second inning, and they are as proud Of
1t now % pullet Is of her first successful expert
ment But after the second inning they never
smiled again.
Maroons may come. and Maroons may go, but
we are afraid this thing may go on forever. 1t
begins to look as If the shades of the MarOons
had softened into solferino that is faded Titles
Mutuals have taken O tumble. but not unto
themselves.
What will Hawley say?
But we'll not think of IIawley. Hawley Ia a
passed ball He's over the fence and far away
where the hardest work IL only play. And he
took with him the cake we used to dream on
But no matter. There are as big fish in the sea
as there are on dry earth that has been wiped
up with new uniforms and tanned TO dryness In
the presence of ladies and gentlemen on Decora-
ton day.
Here is Herr And Hcrris here. And Herr q
all right And TILES Mutuals are all right
They got out on the wrong side of the bed In the
morning, that's all Their fielding was o. 8.
and their batting O. X. Both clubs are stronger
than they were this time last year, and TILES
Mutuals will improve. 1t being their first game
with their pitcher. the team work was not as
smooth as II will be- There was nothing dis
heartening in Tuesdays game.
