BY THE GREEN SOx
By H. s. Med.


Well, we'll, we'll! Everybody's doin' it
now! DOM whatl Whv, rejoicing, of
course, for the Green Sox have won another
victory from an outside team, and believe
US, 1t was some game and there was some
thing doing in every inning. Pistol Finger
Pat and Poindexter did the battery stunt,
and Patrick had charge of smokless
powder behind every pill that left his mitt.
All the other players on the team were in
fine form and we could tell by the CLEAN in
their eyes that they were going to get the
scalps of the Cellar Colts, and they did.
Hip, whurroo! Paddy, shure an we touId
yez the byes could do it, didn't we, now?
1t sure was the best game ever played on
our local diamond and we are one and all
proud of our local bail tossers, the Green
Sox. Even our genial friend, Sherlock, was
SO overcome with emotion that he saw not
the falling ball that descended with light
ming speed from the clouds and smote him
like thunderbolt upon his noble brow, and
caused him to do the Turkey trot around d
three foot circle while he softly murmured,
''Oh, how sweetly the little brides sing
after which beautiful lullaby he approac he'd
US and asked eft we knew that the Germans
were bombarding the Nj. S. Pr Oh,
you Sherlock!
But we are forgetting the game and had
better get back on the diamond o. his nobs,
the editor, will be pulling our scalp lock for
using up valuable space with our "bum"
Puns, SO here goes.
Neither side was able to score during the
first inning, for the pitchers just wanted to
impress the players that they had some
thing to put over and were going to do it.
Byers and Bergin of the Cellar Colts
started the ball rolling in the second frame
by running around the diamond and dane
ing over the home plate, and, just for
friendships sake and to show that no hard
feelings existed, Jones and Wilson of the
Green Sox promptly executed Comanche
war dance, using the big stick with telling
effect On the pill, and tying the score.
The third and forth frames went scoreless,
but In the fifth LoveJOy, OF the Seekers was
given his base on balls and just to get
revenge for being beaten out of good nit
he crossed over tine pale for score, which
gave the SOckerS one score the best of 1t.
1t was III the first half OF this inning that
the Seekers showed what they were made of.
The Colts had three inen on bases when
fOmmervllle grabbed the bat and lined a
warm grOunder out to Jones, who promptly
threw Welsh out at home plate. Forcla
then seized the big stick and sent another
grOunder out to Jones with the result that
AneZ was put out at the plate. Doohau
came up last and Pistol Finger Pat dug his
toes Into the ground, Squlnted at ye scribe,
smiled Sweetiy and put three balls over that
were never In line with the savagely swung
bat.
M r,oodo in tho civth iooipn
due to the swift work OF the batteries anu
the 6elders.
In the seventh the Colts again succeeded
in filling the bases, which caused our friend
Patrick to devour halt plug Of HugO's
Best at one bite. He then proceeded to
burn 'em up with hot ones anu succeeded
IN holding the Colts down to one score.
The game at the close of the seventh was
tied.
The Colts scored again in the eighth and
the Seekers were unable to tally. 1 his put
the Colts In the lead, and wnen they made
one more score In the ninth 1t began to look
black tor our boys, but the fans arose
en-masse and whooped and hurrahed with
such tervOr that our boys decided to show
them that they were roofing for the right
team and three scores were made, one each
by Page, Voseourgh and Conway, thus
giving the Green Sox the victory oy scoIe
OF To 5, III the fastest game ever played
behind these walls. Inc fans swarmed out
upon the diamond dancing, leaplng and
yelling, and the Colts, hne Fellows that tney
are, joined heartily in with the exuItant fans.
The Colts won the nrst game they play
ed here on Saturday, September 2oln, anu
we are tied for baseball honors. and we
would like to see the championship decided
ere the season is closed 1t possible. Every
body boost for championship game and
