The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1911-08-10

Only Bona Eide Employees Of The
Journal and News Will Be Allowed to
Play In the Game.
This is the day when the mighty
players Of The Journal ball team romp
over the weaklings of the News team
IN a manner similar to that Of a mad
bull fighting red flag. Not a mem
Der of The Journals team has prac-
ticed for the occasion, but everyone Is
eager to show off his qualities as a ball
player. When the umpire calls play
ball it will be just a case of mighty
athletes pitted against nine 00000oo00.
Not one bit Of mercy will be shown
to the would-b be ball players and news
paper men. The pitcher will be knock
ed to the bay; the inflelders will gasp
for the ozone as they see the horsehide
flying to the outfelders, and those
gander-legged, crane-lilke outfelders of
the News will run their tongues out in
an attempt to get close to the ball
when 1t lands.
The Journal players will parade be-
fore the game in their ruffled costumes
and the parade alone will be worth 60
ing miles to see.
Four o'clock will be the appointed
hour and the game will begin at that
time II there is no one there except
Jack Carson, and Jack says he could
beat that News team by himself
Mr.. Felkel realizes what a fix he's
in. His room mate says he raves in
his sleep just like Editor Hetherington
was after him. He hired Special OFF,
Ger Graham to stay in the building all
day yesterday to guard the employees
and he threatened to shoot anyone of
the shrfmps who tried to get away to
keep from playing. Mr.. Felkel is re-
signed to his fate and says it's no dis
grace to get beat by The Journal
just a daily occurrence. you know.
Whenever any Of the News hire
lings were seen on the streets yes
terday several were together T. Al
bert had three in charge in the after
noon and with the young Golyth as a
leader they turned pale and their knees
trembled when they saw one of The
Journals players sauntering along all
alone.
A little telegraph boy said he went
over to the News office yesterday just
as 1t was beginning to rain and they
had a jubilee dance, thinking the rain
would stop the game. This little fell
low said it made him sick at his stom-
ach when he looked at such insists as
compose the personnel of the News
ball team.
Everybody Is going out to see the
butchering and when The Journal gets
through with the shrimp pile of News
ties 1t viii look like a grub worm
looks after a steam roller has passed
over 1t.
Chief Sanders said that several had
approached him and wanted to know
whether 1t would be against the law to
bet little on The Journal team. The
chief said that the city was pretty free
from lunatics and no one but a luna
tic would bet against the sluggers on
The Journal.
To those who don't understand base
ball we invite you out to see the News
team perform, and to those who like
real, scientific ball playing to fill the
grandstand and see The Journal play
ers as they drive the ball out to the
Tense and then circle the bases like
riding a flying jennv at the fair
Hundreds Of little boys want to
carry bats for The Journal team, but
they can't all be accommodated.
Be on hand when the curtain goes
up on the first act. It's all over now
but the flowers and the heroes are
known, but come out and see how
easily 1t can be done.
Between the acts the stars Of The
Journal will make curtain talks and
any admiring friends in the grand
stand may call around in the reception
room and have a confidential chat.
Peace be to their ashes.
