place Saturday by dropping game to
| Halowell by the score of 10 to 5 in a
smuggling game on the part of IiallowCll
and rather loose fielding on the part of
| Augusta.
| 1t was IIalloWelrS game from the
whistle. She had one or two horse
| shoes, but not many; she was right
| there when it came to fielding, ana
| above all her batSmcn had their eyes
| with tncni.
| The people from down the line said
they were after "Augusta's Angel" in
other words Eddie" and SO they were.
They got T. with a total of Il of
him. which was enough to pinch an or
binary game. But it wasn't this fault
No. sir. There may he one or two
knockers" who don't know all about
baseball may think it was. But don't
yot believe them. He never had better
control. Several times with three balls
ana one or no strikes he landed Ills
man. am when they went over they
didn't look bigger than Il pea. lie
struck out 10 lHen to Cramps five and
his work WAS just as good as ever.
Just remember that every pitcher gets
his and that Eddie is about the Only
man IN the Trolley bunch that hasn't
, long before thiS-and most of them
haven't pitched as many games as he
has at that. He is still "AuguSta':i
Angel" and will continue for some time
to come, even if he gets worse bOunc-
ingS tlian ne did Saturday in tic i'm
mediate future. To put it III a few
words. HalloWcll Had batting streak,
and ~ Young couldn't have stopped
them.
'''ira.np" was in the box for tn"
Granite Cutters, and he and III" crowd
enjoyed each other all the way through.
He had things coming his way and he
knew il. The more they jollicd him
tn" better he liked it. He waved his
+ hand. Ainkcd and smiled in an almost
hnyish fashion from time to time.
When l.c don't like it, is VIXEN things
are going against him, when his ttaIh
, makes 4 few errors and he gets his
bumps. And Gramp gets them, too, at
, times. He's All right, Gramp is. and W.
, like him. He is a kind of Sidcshow,
! whether he is happy of fractions.
Kelley umprcd the game and on some
, close decisions tn" crowd got after him
! pretty hard and he called the game
and asked them to get someone else.
Kelley is pretty sensitive and il is ioo
, bad for people to abuse II man who is
. trying to do his best. He is as honest
us the days are long. That hc makes
mistakes he probably wouldn't deny for
/ Il minute: ana 50 does every umpire.
Doubtless there are several men in
. the United states that can do better
work than Kelley. If the management
! can find such i one. all well and good.
: If not, don't abuse the man. Their" Is
. too much of that in the Trolley League
. Make lots of noise but don't abuse the
. umpire unless you are dead sure that
V your" right and he's wrong and alSr
that he is dishonest. And besides that
!, YOU are anywhere from 1OG to l0l
against one. and it isn't fair play.
