HAD HOT TIME in THE OLD TOWN
Fats Win from Leans Tuesday
in Game Filled with Fun,
E Errors and Much Joy

Guess that was n pretty nifty game
| OF ball-what? We mean that Fat vs..
Lean mixup.
The way Captain Workers heavy
was shame. The main trouble was
that all the Leans were so fascinated
by that satrrUn-hued suit that the
leader OF the Fats wore that they
couldn't see anything else. Anyhow,
that's what they say.
And the crowd-could you beat IT,?
Oyer 200 admission tickets were sold,
and then the management passed in
all the kids that came down after
school was out. The result was a
record breaking attendance.
The game was the greatest eXhibi-
t!on of high and lofty tumbling ever
seen on the grounds. The ficlders fell
over under and on top OF the ball and
threw IL iLanywhere but the right place;
the pitchers and catchers did wierd
stunts with the sphere, and the base
runners and battcrs gave the finest
showing OF how not to do IL that was
ever witnessed.
The umpires were, OF course, rotten
that Is, Arlie Ward was. or course
the umpire on bases, Miss Kelley, was
all right. (The writer, be 1t known,
has very afIectionate regard for his
scalp and wouldn't dare say anything
elsc.) At one time a fan threw a
whole wheelbarrow load Of junk ut
lWard-and he deserved 1t.
Jay F. johnson, the Ty Cobb OF
Ordway. pitched the whole nine in
nings He Is now in the hospital and
the dcckhands are running the New
Era. W. NJ. FOsdick pitched the
game for the Fats In good style. The
hcavyweights tried to run In "Big
George" toward the last, but the
silver crowd wouldn't stand for It..
We want to say right here that the
Fosdick brothers are "ringers' and
itbe next door to professionals and
i.SJYldn't have been. allowed in the
game. (The boss told me to say that
or he'd fire me.)
The procession to che grounds was
witnessed by a large and sympathetic
crowd and there was not dry eye as
the victims who were to be slaugh-
tered to make Roman holiday
marched sadly To their doom, followed
by the hospital corps with u stretcher
bearing a chunk OF ice, the ambulance,
flying the Red Cross insignia, bring
ing up the rear.
Too much cannot be said for Rev. C..
II. Inman. who otficiated behind the
bat for the Fats. He showed the fans
more different kinds OF ways how to
miss catching the ball than they ever
saw before. His favorite was to turn
sideways and let the ball slide through
to the grand stand. Fred Hoffman
wore the pad for the Leans and gener.
ally managed to get awake about half
an hour after the ball had gone
through on a fast freight.
The game was productive OF no end
OF fun and the crowd certainly got its
moneys worth. We would like to
see another like 1t.

War may be bloody amusement,
but last Sundays base ball game be-
tween the Has Been and the Never
Was teams had General Sherman's IA.
vorite amusement beaten by several
city blocks. There we're Oodles Of fun
and bushels of scores and mighty little
science. q
A good sized crowd gathered to see
the husky giants grabble In what was
advertised to be ball game, the
ladies being conspicuous both by rea-
son OF their university, SO to speak.
and also by their untirinR roofing for
their fav0rites. Even the proverbial
oldest inhabitant had to admit that
never before In Ordway had such a
game been played.
Charley Wells occupied the perilous
post Of umpire for this untamed mob
and refused to change any OF his de-
cisions. even when assailed by the
fair sex with cries OF "Rotten!" xii
the umpire" etc. Although he was
seen to turn pale on several occasions
when the hatpin brigade threatened
to come out on the diamond and chase
him of the ground, he heroically
stood his ground.
All the players did the best they
could-which In some cases was about
as bad as could reasonably be expected
"Daniel Boone" Matthews was put in
the box for the Never Was aggregation
and at the end OF the third inning was
retired In disgrace and J. A. Fosdick
substituted. He delivered the ball
just like he was delivering a bunch
Of freight. "Doc" McCleary put 1t all
over the other team and tried to kill
off the ones he couldn't fan out. Reub
Zinn went after the ball when behind
the bat like he was starting to shoe a
fractions brOnchO, and 'Mullie" Ohm
stead went to sleep and thought he
was making so run on billiards when
ever he managed to freeze on to the
ball.

shuddering relatives Of the players,
we refrain from publishing the entire
score. contenting- ourselves with the

CONAN DOYLE Ar HIS BEST.

The story telling world seems to
be unanimous II the verdict that Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle is at his best in
his Sherlock Holmes stories. the
Chicago Record Herald is now in tie
act of breaking arotner record by
printing 10 its columns all the Sher-
lock Holmes stories written, both
short and long. Some it has publish
ed in the past, but many of the best
are still to come. 1t Is the only paper
in Chicago now running Sherlock
Holmes stories.
The Record Herald has only recent
y begun en- the Memoirs of Sherlock
Holmes" . series Of thirteen of these
famous detective tales. The stories,
which have been appearing only on
Sundays. are row to run right along
through every day of the week until
completed. This series is to be fol-
lowed By two long s herlock Holmes
serials-"A Study in Scarlet" ard
"The Sign of the Fo"r." Many per-
sons are taking advantage of this
chance to read the worlds best date
tive stories.
Sherlock Holmes has the honor of
being the most widely known charae-
ter in fiction. The fascination Of his
adventures and of his marvellous detec-
tive powers 10 felt by all classes of
readers. You a always find some OF
the best popular fiction of the day in
The Reeord-Herald but this Conan
Doyle series il something ont Of the
ordinary, even for that enterprising
paper.

Making Latin n Live Language.

Those who know Dr. Sanford, IN
Latin teacher at Middlebury, under
whose direction Roman drama was
splendidly presented at Middlebury
College In 1900 and again In 1910,
need not be told that 10 him Latin
is no dead language; but II should
be said that 1t s possible for all
teachers of Latin, and for all who
are interested in Roman history, to
realize vividly the living force OF
Roman ideas today. These are
shown in temples, theatres, baths,
basellcas. arches, palaces and pri-
yate houses which have perpetuated
Roman architecture through medi-
eval and into modern history. DR.,
Sanford illustrated lectures on Ro-
man architecture, to be given at the
Third Summer Session OF Middle
bury College, July 8 to August H.
will bring these Roman traces be-
fore one in striking way. Teachers
OF the classics should enliyen their
