FANITORIAL

Someone has more or less correct
ly said something to the general ef'
feet that everybody loves a lover.
Also everybody knows without any
body calling attention to it, that ev-
erybody is "for' u winner
That's a cinch. It's about the cas-
lest thing on earth to wave your hat
and yell "Atta Boy" when a gink is
putting something over, but It takes
strong heart and unwavering 10y
atty to keep up the old pep and yell
"Stay in there" when fellow is los
ing out, steadily. In such cases the
tendency, which is purely human, is
to mention something which sounds
like Rotten" and go away looking
for another winner
All Of which brings up the subject
of the losing streak that has attach
cd itself firmly to the Chickasha
baseball team. The Chicks have
been on the road for eight games.
They have won one and lost seven,
admittedly an appalling number of
casualties. The team plays three
more games before returning to the
home lot. That return is the test
of local fans.
The next home stay of the team
will determine whether the fans OF
Chickasha are for" the Chicks win,
lose or draw, or whether they are
off the club for life-unless a
steady string of victories results
from the daily battles. Before the
club left on the present road trip it
battled its way on the home lot from
a tie for cellar position to second
place in the league. Chickasha fans
were wild. The Chicks were the
best bunch of ball players in the
world, the bugs affirmed.
It's the same ball club now and is
battling just as hard for Chickasha
as ever. There's no need for the |
fans to try to figure out what's the
matter. Ned Pettigrew, manager, Is
a baseball man. He's the only one
who can figure that out Ned would |
not go into your place Of business |
and try to tell you how to operate,
because he knows he is not quail
fled. It's his job to adjust the ball
club and its the job of the fans,
hard one though it may be, to greet
the Chicks on their return, give 'em
the glad hand and say, Were with
you.' If the bugs unlimber flock
of hammers and join the anvil brig
ade it'll be mighty poor spirits
The team is carrying on with
nearly half its pitching staff out of
the game.
