ELEVEN COME SEVEN
BUT NOT FOR ELY

t1-7-And when the censu was
taken at the end of the pastime In Ely
last Sunday, there wasn't a thing to
be told except the same old story.
Lewis and mis- obfuscated col
leagues from the county sea Obliged
us with another exhibition of almsot
baseball.
If luck is wholly responsible, hen
there are only two kinds of luck fig
uring in clashes wherein Ely is a par
ticipant. to wit: Bad and worse.
That they suffered defeat is set
forth merely as an item of necessity,
rather than because it is startling
news. The whole delegation seemed
to be marooned on an island in the
very heart of a sea of incompetency.
Ely mas suffered defeat before.
it's said. Mr.. Lewis, boss of the be
witched and bewildered boarders OF
the basement, entered the contest
wearing a broad and beaming smile.
He was neither perturbed nor I'M
happy. He is simply getting used to
it.
When Ely is required to engage in
a diamond struggle with n of the
McGill teams, some one should gath
err his handicap board together, as
they say in that dear old game OF
golf, or pool, or whatever they call
it, and spot Ely a few.
The men from the mill scoffed and
scored and kept scoring until they
had filled their market basket with
eleven tallies. Ely managed to gar
ner in seven during the anne interval.
A person doesn't have to put it into
fancy and figurative language to
make it plain why Ely lost. To un-
derstand the proposition it is only
necessary to relate that our own
.'hopefuls'' suffered from nine lapses
of memory.
If ye scribe had an imagination
that could turn a lily into an onion,
he might be able to enthuse over the
disheartened losers. With the excep-
ton of the two home runs made by
| Bacon, center fielder for McGill, the
game was stingy of nearly every
thing that ordinarily enables n to
squander large hunks, gobs and bun
dies of descriptive language.
Ely performed up to expectations.
The players trotted out on field with
fire and enthusiasm of a tortoise TAX
ing a siesta and the boldness and
resolution of a sheep crossing a
ditch. The fans were mo- disappoint-
ed. They felt certain that the ia
nous gent who builded his house
upon the sand was as sure of him.

faith in the leaguers from the county

In the third there was no undue dem.
onstration on the part of the scoffers
and unbelievers, because they knew
that the biowup would be staged
later. And they were hipped right
Ely should find pleasure in the
thought:
When fortune smiles the other way

For if the truth, you know, forsooth
Things might be far worser."
