In his trouble at loosing two to
Ashenbacks crew Wednesday "Gawge"
Engel forgot his tin rooster in Column
bia A hurry call was sent for it yes
terday morning when the loss was dis
covered, but the last call at the ex-
press office failed to obtain the covet-
ed mascot.
On the way out to the lot Gawge
prevailed upon Beaufort coon to
yield up his pet dominicker for the
sum of half a simoleon. The bird was
too tame. however, for the Pathf1nd-
ers and Muil's men chased it around
the enclosure six times, plucking out
on the run the sum total of four long
tail feathers.
At the end of the sixth go round a
delegation of the fielders waited upon
the umpires and told them that it was
so dark out where they had their hab-
itation that they could not tell a high
ball from pawnbrokers sign, or
Scotch ones.
Black Clouds stopped Game.
AS they left, blue coated lad from
the weather mans office handed
Burke a message telling him to let
the crowd go home, as there was some
thing doing with the clouds, and his
medicine wouldn't work. After a con-
sultation Burke and Kelly called the
game, and the crowd did the sardine
act in the cars. AS the last man left
the grounds B'rer Mackey waded out
to his base just behind second and
opened up the flood gates just as the
diamond commenced 10 overflow.
Mr.. Thatcher did the twirling for
we'uns and four singles was all they
got Reynolds of the pitching staff
of those who had almost forgot how
to loose a game" officiated from the
rubber for them. We was good to him
at first, but when the clouds came up
and Null hollered stop yer foolin',"
we began to connect. Yancy, when
Engel had gone over to tell Dexter
that the rooster ought to be in on the
late train, put one over second and
occupied a place with Dexter. Holmes
did not hear REYNOLDS warning cry
in time and received one in the Stats
that caused displeased look to APP
pear on his countenance as he went
to see Dexter.
Roth put a hot one between short
and second and Yancy raced home.
Thatcher drew a base on balls and
King hit a little one to Reynolds.
Holmes couldn't beat it home and Mr..
Kelly said he was out. TRULY sent
a slow one to "Gawge' and retired the
side. This was the preliminary.
Got Three in Hurry.
The next round was for blood. Burt
went out from short. Mullaney put
one over to left and went to first Oy-
Ter tried Mr. Mccarthy with hot one
which he didn't take up by the right
end. and there We're two places occu-
pied. Yancy did things to the ball and
when somebody picked it up way out
somewhere in left field. Mullaney had
sat down on the bench and Con WEIGH
was holding Oyler on third
Holmes tried to put one in the same
spot where Yancy had. but he could
not run fast enough, and was touched
with the ball six and a half inches
from second. Welch couldn't hold
Oyler any longer on third and he pass
ed the plate while Holmes was playing
his respects to "Gawge." Yancy heard
somebody say there was a man lover
home" that could run some and he
showed 'em what he could do. Oyler
had to step lively to get out of the
way on the home stretch and the mark
er put three runs for us.
After that we prayed for rain and
darkness and never a man got near
the plate TRULY made Danny laugh by
hitting after the PUNK. and Thatcher
aud Burt and all the rest did the same
When the game was over. we'uns had
four and theyuns had none, and the
fans were glad. "Gawge" says the bird
viii be in tonight. though and he will
have the game tomorrow. Wen all be
there TO see.
