The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1909-07-06

HH
Shirley would NOT recognize them
when they got back and stin say
the same. For have they ever played
Tho Giants ~
D also stated In the Free Press
THAT Gatawba beat Hans Farmers
Sunday afternoon ut Norwood. Now
Shirley i don't believe you know
where Norwood Is, and for your benefit
Il will tell You: Norwood is out close
to The Fairmont Fair grounds. about
one mile from Hoult, and tley aresnot
Hans "Farmersr but are under the
management OF Fred Steele
Shirley. one of your statements
makes me laugh; that is where o
stated that ''They came blck with n
smile on their faces that was hard to.
understand"
Why Lawson would not have recos-
nizcd the "Shtrleyitcs'' with a smile
on their faces. MS the bad boys from
Catawba VINO use to interrupt MIN nj
literary-shoncst we would have liked
to lihvo seen "Boncs." Jim Grow" or
.Hnap Much Talk Tom, with a smile
on their handsome brows. We cannot
see how any one that lives in the Goi-
forsakrn place OF Catawba can think
80 much. OF life as to be seen with
a smile ON his face: It's too much FOR
us.
As:to taking that ball. why of course
line winning team takes the last ball
in play. but say would 1t not have
looked better for your captain to have
come around TO Steele and told him
the ball WIS Catnwba's according 10
the rules than for your left fielder 10
have pucksted the ball and 10 be on
his way home before the game was
over. ii was not the ball Steele cared
for but 1t was the low down trick OF
ono of your braves.
When Murray played the Farmers
from Norwood ut Norwood. why Nor
wood missed another ball and also Il
glove and shy sonic of tilc Cstawha
boys helped Murray out. Steele got
his glove back. but the ball is still
missing. We understand who took The
ball anil | think steele Informed him
so Sunday.
Lets see. Tom TIaun uEcd TO play |
with the Norwood team. but was re-
leased. I wonder why? OH. because liz
was too slow. GnT Hess and Bud
Huffman have both left the Norwood
team for The Farmers" are loo slow
for them.
Now. say, Shirley. tae Giants are
going to clean the old IInrlt grounds
MP Monday. and arc you anxious for
the "~Shirlcyitcs" TO come up against
the Giants? II you arc why Just drop
"FInrs" II card and we will show You !
how The game Is played. The Giants
want TO plny the first game with Ca
tIwba on the new grounds. they want
TO win the first game and they will
win every game they play, If all the
other teams are MS asy picking as
Cntnwba will be for the Giants"
Now. shirley" we are not hras-
cling neither do we mean this us u
blum. but uIst any nlI time you get to
thinking that Catawla is ii, why just
send them mp and the Giants" will
scn.l them back to Cat1wbl sorry bat
much wiser boys.
AS To that game Sunday. why "Sfir-
ley" 1t was awful. | never saw SO
much uuarrelIlnE i'm my life mt n game
of baseball unL | have been down ut
Rivcsvillc when Doc Dent was the
whole push. and over ut Montana When
Lake Daushcrty WIS OH the cuacllers'
line i,ut will admit that Catawha h1s
some players that has any of them
beaten to n fr1zzIc.
II ynu will let ynu brave. Catawhl
players come MP and battle with the
Giants some Sunday. why We will
promise To give yulI Il return game on
the Cntnwha grounds, and say VIC will
give you the, lust ball in play II You
beat lis and IL you wish IL why we VIII
play you for the wnolc7 outfiLfl gloves.
will play you for Il side rbct OF So. 90.
so confident are We that success will
rest upon the banner of the Chants"
Possibly tho Giants arc too strong
for the Catnwha boys. If so why Bud"
Huffman has n scocnd team nero
called tho LlGhLweiEhts from HOult. |
