Can you beat il. Ennis 4-5-5, Dallas
O-0-5. That tells the story of a little
so-called practice game the Dallas club
played with the Ennis team Tuesday.
A phenom pitcher from the Texas Chris
tian college at Waco was borrowed by
Ennis for the game and he pitched Il
hitless game against the Texas league
team. His name is Wylie and since
his remarkable performance when he
shut out Dallas without hit or run
has made him a plum for the Texas
league managers to scrap over. The
Dallas clubs inglorious defeat at the
hands Of the bushers is now the joke
OF the league and the east Texas club
must stand for q lot of kidding from
the other clubs Of the league
Here is one from the joke book Of Del
Richey, 32nd degree fan It was n the
middle of the season last year, Gallo

hit a sky wanderer over Gals territory.
Gal had been doing some Of his ragged
playing which won him q title which
is least coveted by ball players The
big boy was wandering around under
the ball trying to get a line on its pos
sible place of contact with the earth.
The grandscand was as still as a deaf
mute wedding Just as Gal. was about
10 catch the bali kid in the grand
stand piped: Drop it you bonehead"
Whether or not Galloway heard the
small voice he let the high fly go
through his fingers and the man on
third scored. This story does not go
if Gal is due to visit Ell Paso any
time soon.
Has anybody here seen Ozee? He is
past due for this camp as a stage sta
ton on his trip across the desert Of
Douglas. where he will relieve Denny
Ford of the responsibilities OF the first
baseman's duties, allowing Denny to re-
turn to his first love at third.
Umpires are springing up in the
league like relatives of Jeffries Billy
Graham, the fruit dealer of Bisbee. who
urnpired the last games there has 5rok-

hoping Billy can hit the ball.
