Have you heard about it, We stun
bled. Some noisel
The day was bright and warm. Their |
were two men in the boat Proud ant
NIouslev); the oars leaked and Prout |
swamped the boat Some splash!
I would like 10 call attention to th |
score. II was l3 to Z, not Is to III
Don't rub it in.
Our excuse is; Crows boys outhit us
and not the umpire. They squeezed tn |
lemon for nineteen hits, which is tn |
record this year. Well, we are goingl
after that record.
Grow ahead. Grow; we would crow,
too, il we had as much to crow about as
you, Crow.
The new twirler came from Mexico.
He's one of Villas scouts. Hal ha!
Where did the scorekeeper go. is al
question that seems to be worrying a
great Nmsny. lie was arrested for not
having red light on the hole made I'M
Market street by Crouch's home run.
| would not bet Smiths home run was
the longest ever made on the grounds.
as Crouch's mad it beat by a square At,
that Smith is some warm baby. Hats
off 10 him!
Well, Grow. be proud for you did it,
boy.
Old man Bradford had his eye on the
ball he was up ten times, had one
two base hit. two singles. walked twice,
was hit by pitcher, and struck out once.
Uncle Dan says anybody that hits his
little brother tmeaning usl, is going
to get trounced. Watch yourself, Grow.
When the elephants roost in the trees,
When the birds make love to the bees,
When the sun refuses to shine,
When the fishes have two feet,
And parade right up and down Market
street.
When the snow turns from white to
blue,
Maybe. Blue-Legs, we'll be walloped by
you.
Spittle was IN the game for awhile
Saturday. From what we saw he looks
like a conner.
Edwards. our new fielder. handles the
bat nicely. although he didn't get his eye
on the pill We are living in hopes.
Those who wish to see us get that
rung should come to Front and Union on
Saturday. We won't disappOint you
Fred Martin has given the ground
committee the day off. So well look
for them on the firing line Be there.
Boast, Grow. You have the hardest
hitting team we've been up against this
year
Eddie? Goodnight
The two fastest teams in the A. w.
meet next Saturday at Front and
Union Come see the smoke
Mannering had twentythree chances
and never drop.
Guess that Captain Dougherty knows
something about stealing bases. Natu-
raj habit of his.
We see Austin is there when it comes
10 cleaning the bases. Pretty homer
boy. Any time you're not there, you ro
sick.
We have a man named Murray,
Who never seems in a hurry,
But when it comes to run,
He's a regular son-of-a-gun,
With a one-hand stab
That pill he'll always nab.
Did you hear about Bullock having
chancesg Did he get themi Well,
should smile.
Crouch must have had Wise worried
lust a little. for he walked him twice
On the third time he damaged the as
phalt in Market street.
Middleton was there for two singles.
As for eating out of Winters hand
we don't know about that. Those higf
speed balls were all right for awhile, but
we tapped him for six singles and push
ed up tally. Pretty good for the has
beens.
Well, Manager Nlousley is still in hi'
lookout tower, so watch your step
Blue Legs Something nice will be OF
the job Saturday. so get tight hold OF
that rung this week for | fear you arr
going to slip before long We ar
coming.
Joe Brennan would do well TO hol'
that twenty. Think of the high cost o
living and winter coming fast
If you want TO see the clash Satur
day, be there.
