BASEBALL ARGUMENT
BY OLD CHAMPIONS

A halfhour or SO before Detroit 5
big Flag Day parade started round the
field on Friday three prosperous look
ing men, we'll along in middle life, sat
talking in the grandstand. Later on
they were destined TO become the
center OF the adulation OF vast
throng as they marched across the
field proudly heading a delegation
which carried the faded old banner
which they and their teammates had
won for the glory OF Detroit. 20 years
ago. AT present what are they do
ing?
They are having regular old-time
baseball argument.
Somebody has mentioned a player
who used 10 oppose them in the old
DAYS.
Well do | remember him. says
Charlie Bennett The last game We
played that year in the regular league
series he gave me this finger" and
he holds up knotted. gnarled digit.
II hurt IL first on foul tip from his
bat early In the game and told Wat
ty be ought 10 let me out. as he had
the pennant won anyhow. with hard

LET CAMEL catch, urged but
he wouldn't.
The next time Jim came up | told
him he'd gotten part OF that finger and
had best go after the rest.

he did, with another foul tip that
smashed II all up. | had to go to
first base TO finsh the game, for
Brouthers was out and we were shy
OF men. You surely had some awful
speed out there that day, Charlie"
Why" replies the tanned farmer
from Hastings who used to be Lady"
Baldwin. king OF the southpaws. Il am
sure your memory must be at fault,
Charlie. remember your finger get
ting all smashed up that day. but you
finished the game out, just the same
and | remember you grabbed the ball
when | struck out the last men and
said you were going 10 keep IL"
You're wrong, Charlie" responds
Bennett. II was playing first base
and CAMEL dropped the ball on that
third strike and threw IL TO me for
the last out of the game. I've got
that ball at home yet, lettered up and
hanging on he wall.
But Baldwin isn't BIT pleased
~"Charlie. says he, Il just bought
176 acres OF land out near Hastings.
II was the old homestead but I'll bet
IL against nickel that you caught
that game out from start to finish,
crippled though you were"
Then they both leave II TO Sam
Thompson
Boys, don't remember replies
big Sam as he puts his arm affec-
tionately round Bennett. II have seen
Charlie here do things just as game.
though What de- remember
that | made in that game my only
error OF the whole season"
Yes. Sam. you dropped one Of those
shoe-string things that they score
two baggers on now" is Benefits rec
objection. But Charlie here is wrong
about my catching the game out
Charlie, do you remember who got
home runs In that game"
You and Larry Twitchell." respond
ed Baldwin promptly
Well you can remember some
things is Benefits smiling rejoind-
err
Il hear that Hanon and Getzein
are In town. remarks Thompson, but.
don't believe H. None OF the other
boys feel the way We do about the
old team"
Then the notification came that the
parade was waiting for the veterans
TO take their places and they left.
