HERE AND THERE

The baseball time is with us, and the
fans are up for air,
And the bunch OF get-togethers have
but little time to spare,
So If for dope you banker from the
front and foremost seats,
Just take walk up Main street, and
stop right in at Pete's.
It's there you get it first hand-hear
of strikes and hits and fouls
And of heroes of the diamond, as well
as all the grow1s
It's at Pete's they kill the umpire, with
language full of gall,
For Pete Kronitz has the dopesky
when it comes to our baseball.
And if Pete brings home the pennant
as he did once with the Colts,
Some rivals that are striving will re-
receive some awful jolts,
some other beats,
We're for you, one and maryland will
all drop in at Pete's.
And when the autumn breezes end the
season and the game
The Watertown baseball team will
have won a standing fame,
And in the winter, dreaming Of next
summers coming heats,
Well sneak out in the evening and all
drop in at Pete's.

A good yarn is going the rounds in
regard to certain man who lives not
a thousand miles from Watertown.
The yarn bears the suspicious ear
marks OF an ancient vintage, but will
bear retelling, for it is good one
1t seems that the man referred to
paidua visit to Milwaukee recently, and
while in the Metropolis, dropped into
thirst emporium. At this particu-
lar den of iniquity, they served the
suds in what is technically known as
scoops A SCOPE holds about hat
full of liquid refreshment, but the Wa
tertown man never paused, and the
amber fluid disappeared with marvel
Gus rapidity.
The feat attracted the attention of
several bystanders, and being curious,
they horned in and made the acquaint-
ance of the WATERFOWL marvel
Finally one of the men offered to
bet the Watertown man ten dollars to
five that he-the yisitor-could not
drink three scoopfuls of beer without
stopping. The Watertown man con-
sidered, and decided it was good bet,
and the money was put up with the
bartender.
AS the beer was being drawn, the
Watertown man asked to be excused
for moment, and stepped into the
wash room. One, two, and five min
utes passed and he did not return, and
as there was rear exit, the other men
began to think that Watertown man
had for some reason become fright
ened and fitted away. Still-he did
not look like man who would kiss
five dollars goodbye without a strug-
gle.
But the Watertown man came back
suddenly, and walking to the bar,
waded in, and drank the contents Of
the three scoops with a relish, and
held out his hand for the money
which was promptly paid over to him.
Gee, but you are a wonder said
one of the men, we thought you had
ducked though, where did you go and
stay so long

making up what is known as the

some artillery. When the Bolshevi Xxi
troops were encountered General
