The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1920-06-24

snort Time WIN an injured manu-.
When this old boy is back there it
sure puts the esprit de corps into the
rest Of the bunch. Roe is heady
catcher and at present is leading the
local club in hitting.
Little King pulled down some nice
ones in right field. Brother Eb says
that fro mthe way E runs the team
from Cameron Hill, that you would
think he is the Cap Keep at it Ed,
and if the rest Of the boys loaf on the
Job tell them about it. In the game
to win-all the time--that's the pep.
Chic Addleburg has been getting
his two hits right along for the two
last games. He is stepping right into
The ball. If you keep this up lit
tie while, we will have to move you
up nearer the top in the batting or
der. Keep on hitting them, it does
the fans as much good as it does the
Old Man at the Station.
Hodge relieved Freear and finish
ed up the game in real style. This
boy showed some real class in his
pitching yesterday; the best steam we
have yet seen on the lot. After all
is said and done, in our humble judg-
nent, you have to mix in some smoke
which generally will get the best of
hem. Hodge seemed to be going on
high and hitting on six.
Bowman played fast game around
second. This boy is fast on his feet
and barring a few fumbles, which
could be worked out of his system
With little practice, was there at all
lines. This lad is a splendid base
'unner, and doesn't hesitate to take
a chance. He is also hitting the ball
with the best Of them.
-:
High and Handsome has request.
ID the Dope Writer to call him by his
real first name in the Done Sheet
which same is "Gene." Right cute
isn't it? This is a contraction of the
word Eugene--the word Eugene is q
derivation of the ancient Greek word
meaning, 81 should worry" But as
the Poet would say, whats in a
name, the thing that counts is can
he hit in a pinch. I'd say he could.
You will have to hand it to the OPP
list in his representation in Wednes-
lays Sun concerning this elongated
fellow. Thank you!
Harry Meade's fame as the pro-
Queer of Victory Fruit Juice will
soon be eclipsed by his batting aver
age, if he keeps on piling them up
This Home-Brew Boy was there with
he big stick again Wednesday, and
can sure sting it.
Bill Dobson felded in his usual
faultless style, but was rather unfor.
sunate in the hitting department, as
everything he touched seemed to go
straight to the visiting short-stop.
Better luck next time, Bill, old boy.
The game was again attended by
good crowd which was full Of pep
and appreciative of good plays, APP.
7lauding both teams generously.
Fans, we appreciate, more than we
can tell, your attendance at the
games. 1t is just as necessary to
have a good attendance as it is to
have a good team. We realize fully
that one is dependent on the other
md promise you that we will do our
best to furnish an article of ball that
will be comparable with the rest of
the circuit. There's limit to our
nancy, but we are willing to spend
the last cent in the Treasury to give
the fans value received. This is the
first year for the present manage
ment for professional base ball, and
we are learning rapidly, by expert
enee, and will try to let mistakes of
Judgment, etc, happen as rarely as
possible. Shake the bottle.
We do not know whether President
Bernard was ever successful in his
quest for Moonshine or not, but the
weather man sure did hearken to his
cry and hand out sunshine for the
game on Wednesday. The ground
was in fine shape and the improve.
ments made around first make the
diamond look a different place. If
Johnny was responsible for the grad
ing done, he would be fit rival for
Pa Beene's job. John, whenever we
have anything right hard to do, we
promise you hear and now that YOU
will he selected to do the work. You
are Just naturally right.
