The game In to be played sometime
IN the afternoon OF Monday. Remem-
Der we said -eometimer-the exact
hour has not been fixed II can't be-
There IL no way of telling. But the
slaughter VIII start the minute The
Journals infants appear ON the dia-
mond- In as much as The Journal has
always preferred darkness rather than
light, It may insist on playing the
game at night 50 it may have a chance
to continue its policy of trying to fool
the people. Our hon-hearted manager
will not stand one second for any sham
affair. We know The Journal gang
will shake and tremble in their boots,
but they've got to face the music in
broad open daylight and before the
vast multitude that will be thoroughly
disguised and everlastingly sick at
The Journals puny effort before the
second inning is played.
BY virtue of the authority vested in
Larktn Cleveland as manager and
guardian. of the Rheuben-rounders Of
Western Florida, the following editors
have been duly appointed and COM
missioned to bedeck themselves in
their native costume and go forth and
slew The Journalites with the jaw
bone Of a (basebal) bat, viz to-wit as

Some weeks ago The Pensacola
Journal and News played their annual
game Of baseball, in which The Journal
was the winner. Immediately there
after the News Newirks'' of The Jour
nal proclaimed themselves Champions
of West Florida" Of the game in which
Ty Cobb placed Georgia on the map.
Realizing the injustice of this claim
and the invincibility Of the of country
press when 1t comes to taking the con-
ceit out of a fellow-reRardIess of

two combined - The Times Courier

ignated manager of the "Rubes" as
The Journals vainglortous sporting
editor dubbed the molders of public
opinion between Milton and Charta-
hoochee, and designated next Monday
as the day on which we will make an
impression on the craniums of The
Journals ball team.
The Times Courier has carried many
team roster since II started pub
lication nearly fifty years ago, but
never did it have such a collection of
expert word tossers," fink singers
and ali round experts as this aggrega-
ton will prove when they go after
Frank Mayes' Red Snappers next Mon
day.
Knowing the fate awaiting the at
taches Of the West Florida mo (u)rning
rag" when they attempt to wrest the
championship from the Rubes, Editor
Mayes Joined a scouting party going to
Chicago, in hopes that the lone word,
defeat, which win be self explana-
tory, coming from one of his might
hawks''-would be sidetracked and he
would miss it
One suggestion to The Journal men
is that their funeral and the most
appropriate dirge viii be when Reu-
ben Comes to Town." because the
Rubes will be the executors.-Marian-
ma Times-Courier.
