out Rivals as Fans

A realistic imitation of a baseball
game was given at Recreation park
yesterday morning when "All Islam"
played and defeated a team from the
Islam patrol. The contest had almost
all the elements of a real game, in
cluding much threatening talk against
the umpires, "Bill" Lange and Pete"
Sloan, and a near attack upon the
former. Though they won by a score
of % to 6, the All Islamites blamed
Lange for keeping their tally so low,
claiming they should have been cred
tied with at least 122. Bats We're
whirled around the umpire's head in
a very minatory manner on more than
one occasion. "Robber" and thief
were some of the politer terms applied
tation of baseball game.
SHRINERs IN FORCE
A big holiday crowd of shriners and
their families spread over the bleach
ers, and from the moment Potentate
William Crocker tossed the first ball
across the plate until it came time to
clear the ground for the afternoon
professional game there was as much
noise and enthusiasm as college
football contest would call forth. The
onlookers were not at all backward IN
expressing their views of the merits
of the players. Megaphones and cow
bells aided them in giving volume to
the noise The crowd was in large
part made up of women.
James A. Shook, captain of the win
ming team, was the object of much
joshing. AS he went out to bat In
the fourth he was handed a bouquet,
the fans being informed through a
megaphone that a young lady at the
gate had sent it in to Shook. You
have got to do something now, Jim,
the onlookers yelled at the player.
He did. He made two base hit. and
later crossed the home base. Next
time Shook came out TO bat some un-
kind person sent him a large green
cabbage. He scored no run that time.
bag of lemons was sent out for
Doc" Dolman, but the second base
player for the Patrols pretended not
to see. and walked from the field
without his souvenir The fine work
of Hemler, left field for All Islam,
brought him a large paper bag of
onions from his friends, which he un-
wrapped and negligently allowed to

GOT MONEYS WORTH
The game was a good game-of its
kind. 1t was not exactly like the
contest in the afternoon when San
Francisco played Los Angeles But
the fans admitted they got plenty for
for their money. The All Islam team
took the lead in the first inning Pabs,
getting over the plate as the result
OF an error by the second baseman.
But it was in the fourth, when Shook
was galvanized into his great effort
by a bunch of flowers, that the All
Islam players made their big rally.
Pitcher Lester b. Smith, who was also
captain of the Patrol team, was
slammed unmercifully, and when the
inning ended the official scorer cal
culated that eight runs had been made
by the All Islam outfit.
The best efforts of the Patrol was
made In the following inning. Four
runs were recorded, Dixon, Gray, CIeg-
horn and Helm scoring. But the An
Islams maintained and increased their
lead for the remainder of the game.
the total score being 22 to 6.
After IL was all over Potentate
Crocker presented to Captain Snook
the trophy donated by John A. Ham
mersmith and there were cheers for
Hammersmith, for Crocker, for the
respective teams, and for everybody
else.
