Walking, as q. stnr-spaaaled CO.
han would say. Is just one step after
another.
The art of walking was invented
by a gent named Adam. 1--WE cannot
recall his last name.b He walked out
of the Garden of Eden, ane his de-
scendants have been walking the
treadmiil ever since.
There is n difference between walk
ing and running except In the case OF
Tom Needhatn. who always made the
same speed whether walking or run
ming.
The word a,saiIS's IN used 10 a great
extent In baseball stories. but there
are several subtle distinctions. For
instance. when we read that Eddie
Collins walks we know that he walks
toward first base. hut when we read
that Heine zim walks we know that
he walks toward the clubhouse.
Walking is a great exercise. csre-

For ak innings yesterday we had a
baseball game out at Hopewell ieid'
Everybody wins Interested, the score
was close, and the Dukes had q
chance 10 win out
Then some hopeless idiot arose In
his seat end remarked Here's the
mcky se.rnth." From that moment
not only were the beans spilled but
they were spilled In a place where
there was no hope of ever getting any
of them dlshed up again. A thorough
search WAS made for the miscreant
who originated the trouble, but he
had fled under cover Of the general
confusion that he had caused.
walker Jordan mounted the stand
for the Dukes about the time Umpire

forth any extra effort. Yesterday
things were different. They went ar
ter him from the first moment OF
play, but with all that he held EN-
down IN good shape until that lunatic
got up and reminded folks that tine
lucky seventh was Just beginning.
Then. Of course everything busted
loose nj once A volley of hitting be-
gun, and members Of the Tucson
team who had not been known TO hit
since the year OF the big wind came
up and spit or their hands and leaned
against the ball for anywhere from a
single 20 a home run, Jordan was
ierked. Fieharty was rushed In az q
reinforcement, but the best that Flea
could do was to show remarkable &C.
curacy In hitting their bats no mat
ter how they held them II was soon
evident that we were not only defent-
cd but that We had the very sawdust

moment Davis was called In from
