= We have not lost a Saturday game.
Some are advancing this theory for
not losing our last game at Betsy
town, but the Dopist is wise enough
to know that neither lucky day or
old Miss Chance played envy part in
this victory. We have a good team,
one which they all dread. Two of
the games lost last week were by the
merest thread. When we begin to
get the breaks, watch this team come.
All things come to those who wait.
We are waiting and hoping and be-
lieving that the day is not far off
when we will start our onward march
from the foot Of the percentage col
umn.
We understand tnar johnson City
has recently added two new pitchers
to their staff. As to their efficiency.
ask Morristown. The Clan of Riggs
suffered two defeats at their hands
on Friday and Saturday. Morris
town has lots Of that old come back
stuff and it would not surprise us to
see them play Elizabethton to a stand
still in their four game series this
week.
We understand that Mrs. Dickey's
husband, Frank, officiated a short
while as Umpire in the Ladies' Base
Ball Game on last Friday. They soon
canned this rotund Arbiter, as he was
unable to see ground balls, substitut-
ing that Ladies' Delight, Venus Ba
con, who with his pleasing personal
ity and winning smile, conducted the
game like an old head We might add
that Jupiter Pluvius Bacon has only
been among US for short while, but
by his butting In tactics, he has al
ready established himself; and no
event, from square dance to a po-
ker party (when his wife is away is
considered complete without this
Woodworking boy being present. A
little game on tonight; can you come,
Venus? No, my wife has not gone on
her vacation yet.
Clyde Austin, Familiarity known to
the fans as Mr.. Austine, has taken his
departure for the Carolina tobacco
markets. We regret to lose this root
err, as he was live wire both with
his money and his poppy presence.
We trust that his stay in the Caro-
linas may be pleasant (don't see why
it shouldn't, Bush has been there long
enough to get things lined up). If
there is anything in any line that
Bush can't find, it amt there. Adds
Senior Austine, may they deal gently
with you in Carolina-but cut the
cards.
Fair fans consult the box score
and you will see that little Ed came
through. Ed told us before leaving on
the last road trip that unless he got
some hits on this trip that he would
not have the heart to face Church
street again. Thus the clouds are
cleared away and little Eddie will
probably wander back; but, say, Ed
die, just because you got three hits
in your last game, don't get the idea
in your head that this gives you Carte
Blanche over Brother. Eb and the
balance of the bunch. We know that
they will want look at you, but think
you are little partial to one partic-
ular section of our fair city.
High and Handsome says that his
newly cleaned and pressed base ball
suit made hit in Elizabethton. but
that the admiration excited did not
go to his head, as it does to most bali
players. He says that he kept his
mind strictly on the game and out
side Of having to dig few wild
thorns out of the dirt, that both he
and the suit came through in first
class shape, Anent above, Manager
Bernard says that His playing was
a delight to the eye.
The local fans are anxious to see
Bishop pitch at home. Hope the
management will work him in Friday
or Saturdays game. He has two
straight wins to his credit,-eno to
excite our curiosity.
Our team is still hitting the ball,
but they have hard proposition to
buck from Wednesday to Saturday.
johnson City has two new pitchers
who made monkeys out of Morris
town. They will have to show us,
We play Johnson City on the home
lot on Friday and Saturday. We are
expecting a great outpouring of the
faithful. Come out, fans, encourage
the team and help the Treasurer
strengthen the funds of the associa-
ton. Pardon us for injecting this
financial talk occasionally, but we are
learning more and more every day
that it takes money to maintain a
base ball club. Do your part!
