That ROtary-k1wanls baseball
game at the playground Thursday af-
ternoon was SOME game-weIl say
it was. The score keeper said the XII
wanians won q to z. Maybe that
was right; we couldn't keep up.
Things had started right lively
when we arrived. Some one reported
that the score at that time was to
U IN favor of the Kiwanians. who
went to bat first. Just as we drew
up on the scene all out of breath,
Rotarian Lushe McClesky was taking
his third wide swipe at one of Kiwan-
ian Nathan Murray's oldItime in
shoots and Umpire Brad Hogg was
motioning him to take his seat. It was
noticeable that Rotarian Frank Lam
Ter, announced as the umpire behind
the bat, was standing well to one
side among the onlookers, observing
policy of safety first. Even Jack
Hoist, KIwanlan back-stop, occupied
a position of comparative safety from
Nathan's hurting, the demon south
paw putting them over as of wore.
Walter Rylander stepped to the plate
and smashed one to Kiwanian George
Marshall at short George was the
only player in baseball uniform, and
didn't he look cute in it!) who chuck
ed it so high to "Music" Edwards at
first that Walter was safe. Rotarian
Ralston Cargill swung wildly at two
OF them then grounded harmlessly t
first base. Joe Johnson worked the
pitcher for four balls and a walk.
When Doc Wheeler, in natty summer
attire, stepped fearlessly to the plate
the crowd yelled to the fielders to
step back, which they did and Doc
soaked the first one-for foul over
the playhouse. Foul No. was count
ed and then Doc with a terrific swat
cleft the air with his bat and famed.
The Rotarians took the field for
the second inning. Walter Rylander
occupied the box, with Carr Glover
taking the bounders behind the bat.
Joe Johnson on first, Taylor at I'd
base, Cargill at short, McClesky at
Sd, and Dusty Burke, Doc Wheeler
and Turk Harris in the field. Nathan
Murray popped a high one to Dusty
who held up both hands in a suppli-
ant attitude, but evidently he didn't
have them together, for the ball drop
ped through and Nathan remained on
the base. Music Edwards couldn't con-
meet with Rylander's fast ones and
whitfield. Fred Smith pushed a hot
one to Cargill who hesitated too long
between cutting off the runner at
third and getting the batter at first,
and both were safe. Murray scored
when Rvlander threw to McClesky at
third, the latter being too busy at
something else to see the throw.
Tiedeman went out easily, Rylander

KIWANIS TO PLAY
LEGION NEXT THURSDAY

The Kiwanis club at its regular
Epcheon today at the Windsor voted
to maintain a club baseball team
throughout the season and chose
Nathan Murray manager and "Mu
sic'' Edwards as assistant. The club
also issued challenge to the Amer
lean Legion for a game at the play
ground next Thursday afternoon
which was accepted on behalf of the
legion by Jack Hoist, a member of
both organizations.
Manager Murray announced that
he would publish the personnel of the
Kiwanis squad Sunday morning and
at the same time issue a call for daily
morning practice at 5 o'clock.
The club was entertained today by
Miss Ellen Estes, who rendered sew
eral readings very entertainingly,
Other visitors were Charles Ayash
in the uniform of a French adjutant,
and j. H. Stevens, of Savannah, who
has become connected with The
Times Recorder staff.
The club unanimously adopted a
resolution of thanks to all who so
generously assisted in entertaining

last week, especially the ladies, and
also to Stephen Pace, chairman of
the entertainment committee, who
superintended the affair.

OF the inning announced he had bro

After the Rotarians had secured three
outs and the Kiwanians had batted
entirely around in this lining the play
went on until Umpire Hogg discov-
cred the situation and called the in
ming over.
1t was a great game. A large and
interested gathering of spectators
was present to see it, including a
large number of ladies. Both clubs
were represented almost to their full
membership. 1t was a jolly affair,
with more fun than little for every
body-and stiff arms, backs. and legs
this morning for all the participants.
As the spectators and players left
the field the Kiwanian lion roared for
victory while numerous Rotarians
limited, "You can't do it again"
After the game the children's
classes in playground activities put
on a program of games and folk
dances under the direction of Miss
Wlnans and her assistants.

Rotarians Taste Defeat In
Clash With Kiwanis Nine

to Johnson, Arthur Mize hit one safe
ly through the box, Smith going to
third. E. B. Everette tapped to the
pitcher who threw him out ending the
half inning.
The Kiwanians again took the
field and Dick Taylor was up. South
paw Nathan tossed one to Dick who
hit to Fred Smith and was safe on
close play at first. Dusty Burke
hoped like a lame chicken on one
foot when the first ball thrown to
him hit him on the thigh and he was
ordered to first base. Glover scored
Taylor with a resounding single. Nc
Clesky showed his old-time form and
drove one to Everett, scoring Burke
and Glover. Rylander flied out to
Tiede and Cargill famed, ending the
inning.
And that is the way the entire
game went, except that the Kiwan-
ians did most of the scoring in the
other innings. In the third inning
Sam Heys, did Ty Cobb, stealing
home while the pitcher, who held the
ball, watched in amazement. Music
Edwards also connected with a three
Dagger in this inning. When the Ro-
tarians came to bat in the third Sam
Heys changed places with Pitcher
Murray and blanked his opponents
without any difficulty.
Fred Smith opened the fourth for
the Kiwanians with double to Burke
but was caught off second base by
McClesky and Cargill jointly. George
Marshall stretched a three-bagger in
to a home run. When the Rotarians
took their turn at bat Everette
Schneider relieved E. B. Everett at
left field. Turk Harris got to third
base somehow and when Rylander
moved the grass with hot one
down the third base line Rotarians
Joe Perkins and R. E. Allison who
were coaching too close to the base,
each did nifty high jump to clear
it.
In the fifth inning LAG" Turpin
went to left field, but he was allowed
to remain only one inning and John
Sheffield was substituted for him in
the sixth. Lag" drew a long fly to
chase during his short incumbency
and famed gloriously at his only time
at bat.
In the sixth inning Arthur Mize
called for the Kiwanian water boy
who responded with "dope." Before
he could drink it ball came his
way which he had to pursue among
the autos, and when he returned with
tongue hanging out found his drink
missing and George Marshall gloating
While Marshall's gloat was still in
progress, Sam Heys sneaked in from
outfield end slipped off with the dope
hidden in the grassland refreshed
himself with it. John Sheffield cele-
brated his appearance by chasing
