last Saturday and when they returned
they had most lamentable story to tell
of the way that they were roasted by
the Manchester ladies because they
championed the Oelwein team. Whom,
ever Oelwein made a hit the Eaylville
crowd yelled like "injuns," which nat
uraliy irritsted tho Manchester ladies,
and they commenced their "roast," all
agreeing that they would have made
the Earlyille "yellers" sea sick but for
the presence of Tom Martin, who
with his ready wit met each assail with
an appropriate retort. For instance,
one of the ladies said: "You Earlyille
fellers, shut yo mouth" Tom replied:
1--WE paid 5 cents to see this game and
20 cents to holler, and we're going to
holler." When Oelwein made tally
the "ipjuns' broke loose again, when
one of the ladies yelled, "You Earlville
fellers get out of hero and go home"
To which Tom replied, "lye left our
happy home [for you to see this game
and we'll stay till it's out" One de.
serter from the Earlville crowd who
naturally sympathizes with the ladies,
was invited to seat in one of their
carriages, and the Earlville crowd,
have not finished roasting him yet.
But when the Manchester ladies were
confronted with the downfall of their
idols they became half way reconciled
and seemed to feel sorry for the awful
roasting they gave the Earlville
"injuns.' -Earlville Phoenix.
