The Burley Cubs leave today for 4
three days sojourn IN Elizabethton,
where they give battle to the leaders
Of the league. The writer interview
ed several members Of the team be-
fore they left Greeneville and they all
seemed confident that Greeneville
could hold their own with any Of the
teams IN the league. They say chat
they propose To win their share of Tile
road games. II they do this tho fans
will give them record crowds On their
return.
We have been asked to write up the
happenings Of the game on last Fri
day in Morristown, but as we were
not there, and only have heresay evil
dence. we feel that we are not quail.
fed to testify. We win say, however,
that Greeneville and Morristown have
both learned their lesson, and from
now on we shall have less wrangling
at our games, The fans want to sec
the games, but do not want to see
nor hear some Of the things that
have been carried On. The local
management promises that our games
shall BE- conducted free from any
thing that would not be pleasing to
the fans We believe that Morris
town has learned her lesson, and that
things will go off smoothly during
the remainder Of the season. Here's
hoping.
Little Eddie King was complaining
to the Dopist about the six games per
week, as now arranged. He said
do you know that | will have to be
away from Greeneville from Monday
morning until Thursday amorningW
We said, eNo, Eddie, we did not
know that you would be away, but |
did know that the entire team would
be away" We do not know why Ed !
die should worry as everything 4.
far as we can see or tell IL going fine |
We had the pleasure on last Thurs
day Of being seated in the grand |
stand very near to one of Eddie's |
hearts desire, and from what we could |
gather Eddie could remain away al
whole week without being entirely
forgotten. Don't worry, Little Ed
die, | viii keep lookout up Church
and if anything appears on the hor-
lion that doesn't look just right to
me, will let you know. An revoir

Speaking of the game last Thurs
day, did you notice how certain
married man was taking advantage
Of his wife? This middle-aged papa
was not satisfied with taking one
Dame to the game, he took two. He
figured, and safely, that If
his wife should find it out, that she
would think there was less danger in
a crowd of three than Of two. Some
of these wise married men think they
can pull this stuff and get away with
it, but we want to put you on notice
right now that the Dopist is hum
gering for just such occurrences for
the sheet and If you don't watch out
he'll get you.
The games here Thursday, Friday
and Saturday with Johnson. City
should prove the biggest drawing card
Of the season. Taylor, the peppyI
catcher Of the johnson City Soldiers,
brings bunch of bali players with
lin who can deliver the goods and
axe their medicine IN a sportsman
ike manner. They have trimmed
Elizabethton in their recent series to
he tune of 8 games to 81. Come out
ind help our boys IN these games.
The season is just half over and there
$ no reason for our team remaining
1t the bottom of the column. The
cams in our league are about as
equally matched as it is possible to
De and they are having some race.
Col. Thyme Brown is leaving to.

Thus the Dopist is deprived of anoth-
