The fates as a rule are a kindly
bunch, dribbling here and there
along the well known path of lfe's
little Joys TO offset the washouts,
punctures and breakdowns. but it's
seldom, in fact remarkably seldom,
that deluge of joys is visited in one
locality. But this is what happened
down at Scotts baseball emporium in
That first game of the present series
and II compensated to large meas
ure ior those barren last days of the
first lap of the 1916 pennant pursuit.
In eptome this is what happened.
Clyde Geist won his tenth straight
game and thereby ran abreast of
Sugar" Mapel of McAlester. The
Producers scored is runs off the
Denson representatives, twice pen
nant winners, and turned them back
into the barren lands scoreless
Iy virtue of the victory the locals
climbed into a tie for second place.
They drove one Glenn, one OF the
star pitchers, to the imaginative
showers and touched him and his re-
lief corps up for 19 hits. Three of
these hits were home runs, while
four of them were for two bases. The
Producers not only played an error
less game, but they played brilliant
game, uncoVering here and there
along the spattered causeway bits of
scintillating defense work that brought
the stands feetward. And they did
all this while the sun beat pitllesSly
from hot and copper sky, falling
alike on the just and the unjust.
Didn't Heed Heat,
But neither the local players nor
the dyed-in-the-woo fan needed
the heat They snapped their moist
fingers at the humidity and went on
their way rejoicing.
The spectacle of the mighty in dis
tress and especially in farcical dis
tress is always ludicrous. A fallen
king or a limping lion will create
laughter and jeers at almost any given
setting and the sight of our erstwhie
champs and heretofore triumphant
adversaries, not only in the dust, but
grovelng in the dust as WELL was JOY
unconfined.
From the standpoint Of technique
of finesse, the game was a lame,
halting affair, but from a standpoint
of home-folk it was all that could be
wished. The 18 runs piled up on our
side of the trenches while the enemy
had gathered nary one was worth
more than any one to nothing game
that could have been spread before
them.
OF course, the one glorious feature
was the squirt into the exclusive upper
four again, but this did not take any
of the glory away from the fact that
the local hurler tied the league rec
ord for games won consecutively, in
fact, IL only enhanced 1T. Geist not
only shut out the Railroaders but he
let them down with five hits, one OF
these a veritable scratch.
But while the alright pitching OF
the hurler and the terrific batting of
the whole Producer clan over
shadowed to a certain extent any
other features of the game, a long
running catch by Wooley in the eighth
inning will probably live long after
the game is forgotten and after each
local player has passed into the land
of oblivion. The centerfielder-man-
ager ran clean back to the centerfield
fence after Syneck's long fly and with
his back to the field plucked the
sphere off the grass blades which

But enough of this by-talk. The
game itself won't bear well the strain
of relating. 1t was just one continual
hit and run. The Producers got
