graphic anu harper dll together ~
a baseball game before.
Well, when Webb CrUwther latnped
me he yelled and put out his fin and
asked me was out scouting. ! gfiiihda
and scd yes and he told me to watch
him. ! asked was he going as good as
ever and he said Just the same; then
said YOU must be heluVa fine ball
player aud he didh I have no edHebacL
aud the national geographic and Har
per 3 monthly next to me LATED and then
i gessed j wouldn t take seat out on |
the beach. Only they don t call it the
beach down here. You're a HEX If you
call It the beach duwn here. Its the |
shore, Always the shore. If YOU say
you're going down to the beach they |
think you're a dummy.
SO Webb asked me how Winnie was |.
and he didn { say Bellows falls when he |
spoke about winnie nor anything about |
vt. 40 | didn't have nothing to be |
ashamed of. told him winnie had the |
rheumatism and had to 90 to Mt. Glenn
Ons for visit and he wanted to know |
if it affected his hosting arm and told |
him i gessed it didn I all that worried
him was that $500 baseball note, pulls in
terest, the roynl rooters of bellows Falls |
amt yet seen fit to pay him back.
Then webb and me talked about some
Of the fellers and the Twin Skaters and
he had to 20 to work and he told May
forth ! WIS In the stand and Mavtorth
told marty Conrov and pat Cawlev and
Pete Wilson and even if did have a
Atlantic monthly was regular guy
in that old grandstand CESS The man
and woman next to me bot some peanuts
and blew some of my expense money
for some popcorn and we had tanning
be. They did the tanning and let them
think i was a scout and all the nuts
round me horned in and Jest said enuff
to not let them no want connie mack S
little bruthcr. j CESS if they knew who
was they would not have let me leave
that old grandstand alive.
Anyway it was pretty good game
and wished YOU coulda been there, ed.
1t made me think of the old Twin State,
ed. In the third frame the Colonials
went crazy and threw that old pill all
over the light house point and knocked
the paint off the grandstand with it
and everything and the fisks scored four
runs and they had scored two runs be-
fore 50 that made six runs to two Then
we went foolish. | am saying we be
cause webb spoke to me and made EN-
think i was a scout SO j was boosting
the red Tops. Then we went foolisher
and our pitcher hit two men i'll the sixth
and we threw the ball to all them places
the other fellcrs didn throw it and
they made three runs and had us to
six. And il looked was going to lose
that ball game because i had talked too
much whenever our club made a good
play and it staid to six until the ninth
frame and was sore. Then forgot my
atlantic monthly and my dignity and
yelled to Marty to get on YOU can do it
marty for the love of pete win this ball
game and sounded foolish and j was
the only bug in the stand yelling for
| marty to do something. i CESS mart
! heard me all right cause he got on.
| Spence Pumpcllv was pitching anu he
passed him. CESS ny yelling mncrved
| him. Spence used to 20 TO yale colledge
| that's here and the fans told him he otta
20 four more years and one guy said
make il ; more. Then another guy hit
| for us and sent marty to third and the
hitter looked foolish when he tried to
stretch an infcld hit into a double.
| Ten cr0wthcr came to bat and asked
him to bring III that there run we needed
to tie and he knocked the dirt out of
the clcats of his shoes and spit and said
something fresh to the catcher and then
to the pitcher and in a minute he was
on first and marty old top was home and
we tied the score. And then another
guy got on and the right fielder came up
and knocked one bird of a slam clean
out into center field and made a homs
run and yelled alta boy and j WASH [
the only guy in that old yrandstand that
was yelling cause it was the longest hit
in years and they gave him credit for it.
And the score was 10 to seven and we
won
Mavforth coached for the isks and
Pete Wilson coached for the colonial>
and they both did good job. Pat Cav
ley was like he used to be. lie got some
pretty catches and was so fast on one
hard one that lie threw wild over frs
like he used to. Eddie goodridge ha
been batting for 800 up i'll IIartfor,
, but he only got one hit out of four time
| up. Marty conrov got one out of tire
4 and one was a two Dagger. And Crow
c Their got two out of five and booted tw
r chances out of TO- | guess the score
c likes Cawley he didn t give him a boo
c for pcgging wild. Anyway the reporte
II wore panama suit and perhaps 80
e can t blame him.
G didn I stop at the hotel to see tn
& fellers after the game cause j gott
C chance TO 20 to france and had to Sc
t the fella that night. think II sta
). here in this country and work as usua
Il II 90 to france gotta sign contra,
s. for years and may not like that tow
c, we'll enough to stay that long. Besid,
is its pretty soft here in America DRAWN
y down the kale for writing stuff like tn
al and if YOU use il pleas sent the ca;
II, without delay as these here - bar roor
| has each got or 3 men around Il
id place and the bosses have got to get Il
W money TO pay them somehow.
81 Anyways it seemed pretty good to S
" them old Twin Skaters yesterday and
a bet YOU wish you could see them on
at more up to Island park. Two innin
&c each club booted the ball wild and t
ELL other seven they played like indians a
that's what we all like. Give Inv
so CARDS to Arthur Rohde and Bill 30
ep and all that crowd and tell them VIII
ham county birds that we been blowi
