JINGLER BUTTS
INTO NAVAL GAME
Cheerful Idiot Describes Game
Between Tennessee and
South Dakota.
Tennessee, 5; South Dakota. 2.

They taIlied TO the other team 8 2,
and now they are in position to fight
off the triangular series to find which
of three ships shall meet the PennsyI-
vania.
1t was a very much better game
than that played last Thursday, is one
way and that was that the players had
shaken down into team work and both
sides made very much fewer errors
than they did on Aala Park.
The South Dakotas crossed the start
ing line first by scoring one in the
initial inning. They held to strong
stroke at about thirty-six to the min
ute till the second inning when they
dropped behind and never as much as
got within a length of the other boat
for the rest of the game.
This is the way that first run of the
South Dakotas was made as described
by the Jingling Idiot:
One J. P. Clark went to second on an
error
And Wilder sacrificed him on to third.
Then J. P slid, his sliding is terror,
While Murphy hit bingle like bird.
But J. P Clark would never have sue
eeeded
If he hadn t slid beneath the catcher 8
feet.
But he made up his mind that run was
badly needed,
And so performed his ten-yard sliding
feat.
His sliding was so swift and effective
that the catcher. Neff, was upset and
twisted his ankle which. one could see,
caused him no little pain but he stayed
by it and played out the rest of the
game, doing mighty good work in spite
of his damaged limb. johnson the
other catcher had trouble too. In the
first part of that same inning he took
a hot one on the end of his thumb
and split the nail. DR.. Kaufman inn
mediatelv ran to the rescue, he borrow.
ed q knife, slit up a handkerchief and
soon had the wounded thumb done up
in regular battlefield style.
The Tennessee boys came back in the
second and tied the score. Again the
idiot intervenes:
Now Johnson had his finger hurt
he tried N throw TO Clark
But oh. that bali went high in air
Asoaring like lark.
So Tuebert made race for home
Adrift on flying wings,
He dropped his anchor on the plate
And johnson muttered things.
Murphy was the guilty party who
opened the water tight compartment in
the third. He made muddle of things
and Bush reach first. Green singled
at the right slime which eventually
brought him a run, for MeCafferty fol-
lowed his example and he went to third
while Bush toddled in. DR.. Kaufman
sacrificed beautifully and then Green
also came in. This made two runs and
the score was , to ].
Here i the idiot again on the sub
jeet Of the Tennessee run in the fifth:
The score was only three to one
The -Teauessees were having fun;
..The scoring, boys, Is not yet done, "
said swat EN- hard MeCaGerty.
He swatted Murphy's second ball,
You d think the sphere would never
fall;
The center fielder had TO crawl
While Nae reached second safely.
Then Murphy made a wild throw
Which Wilder missed and never slow
MeCaFerty doth homeward 90
While Tennesseeans shouted.
The yietors scored again in the
seventh. MeCaferty again was the
swat artist TO do the trick which was
perf1rmed on felder's choice 10 first,
on DR.. Kaufman = sacrifice to second /
and 70 home on G. z. Clark's error.
In the eighth the Dakotans took J
brace and scored one. They filed the
bases with only one man down and J.
P. CLARK again came home. But with |
the bases stiu fnH two men famed /
and j. was o. P. II. with the South /
Dakota team for they could not even
touch Blabo= in the ninth.
Blahos pitched a very pretty game ,
10 rtEe winners. Murphy was also good I
in his pitching but made q couple Of /
bad muffz on hunts that allowed runs 4
70 happen. Dr.. Kaufman was missing
them ali before the game in practise, +
but a. soon a. the umpire took his
staad, the genial doctor was there with /
the unerring mitt.
The game was delightful one TO
