Mr.. and Mrs. James Collins and

penings, and went down in his pocket

The Symmetrical Tigers came up
to Belleview last Thursday afternoon
to play prearranged game with the
Belleview swatters. Up to the fifth
inning, the score stood to and
1t was as pretty game as anyone
would care to look at. On account
Of the intense heat and the fact that
number of the Belleview boys had
been up all night, the night before,
fishing in Smith lake, they lost their
grip and went to sleep and the Sum-
them. Based on some kind of base
I ball arithmatic the score was an
nounced / to 2 in favor of Summer
field, but the figures were larger to
that in proportion. This is one way
of whipping the devil around the
stump. The Summerfield boys were
SO enthusiastic over winning this
game that they accepted my offer of
a $40 prize for series of five games,
| best three in five, subject to the re-
strictions as laid down, dates to be
announced later. Captain Charley
| Davis off the Summerfeld nine was
SO earnest in this matter that to be
sure of getting a correct account of
the games and the outcome of same
! he subscribed for the Weekly Star
| for one year, thus insuring himself
complete returns on this series of
games, and some Others. These Sum
merfield boys really act as though
| they were going to win this series.
| Charley Davis knows a good thing
when he knows it in the Star.
The Pedro Pirates came over last
Saturday to have little practice
game with the Belleview Swatters.
They are cheerful bunch and gain
ed a great many pointers and consid-
ering the practice they have they put
up a nice clean game.

down to Oxford this coming Thurs

day for Belleviewites. Mr.. Harry
Read, Miss Gertrude Carter, Miss
Mildred Merrill, Mrs. NJ J. Sullivan
Miss Flossie Evans, Miss Eleanor
and Minnie Tremere all had business
in town that day.
The bunch that went up in Mr.. J
NJ. Nee1y's car encountered a rattle
snake near Oakhurst. Mr.. Nicely
tried to slay him but could find nc
effective weapon, so leaving your
scribe and sister Minnie to mind the
4 snake, he jumped in his car and
drove off to house where he secur.
ed a shotgun, and upon his return he
found the snake still doing business
on the same old stand and buzzing {
sweet little tune, which Mr. Nicely
soon ended with one shot from the
gun. | thing with little practice
that l would soon get used to enter
tanning rattlesnakes.
