Sunday between the Gateway
- and Magnolia teams read that
Louis Smith circled the bases for two
home runs. During the past thirty six
hours call after call has been sent in
over the telephone asking what kind of
brand the baseball editor was smok-
ing these days.
A close investigation was made and
it was found out that Louis Smith nor
any other player made home runs in
this particular diamond battle, al
though in Mondays Herald it will be
noticed that Smith is chalked up with
two of them, and at that by the Of
fetal score keeper of the Gateway
team.
While speaking on this matter it can
be said truthfully that in several other
cases the wrong score has been turned
in by the teams winning. cutting the
same down so as to not make it read
SO bad in print.
The next time that this mention is
necessary in these columns the man
ager that Is caught must suffer. There
is not word in Webster's or the Cen
fury that will save him from pan
ming" Enough said
