al a most courteous and desirable
companion, was at the game in Nor
ristown on last Saturday and seemed
to enjoy the proceedings as much as
the rest of the boys. These little
pleasure jaunts are good for men
cooped up in the office; will keep you
young and full of pep.
We heartily agree with the Morris
town write-up of the game, that all
betting should be cut out. The Big
Leagues prohibit this, and they know
what is best for the welfare of the
game, as they are in the game for the
money and know how it must be con-
Quoted to draw the fans. We feel
satisfied that word to our hackers
will be sufficient
Recently we started up to the Ma
son Corner to hear the talk and met
Mr.. Mullen in front of the Hotel Of
flee. At that time the hotel charged
nothing for standing in its shadow
so we paused and greeted he was
telling us of attending the League
meeting in Johnson City on Monday!
The meeting was harmonious. The
schedule was slightly changed and the
salary limit fixed The report given
out was most encouraging and shows
each town strong for the League base
ball. Erwin is knocking strongly at
the gate. 1t may be that we will have
to make 5 club circuit, if the sched'
ule can be worked out properly.
We are expecting Harry Meade to
hurl his wrench into the machinery
of the Johnson City team. When this
boys arm is right, Manager Doak has
promised to pitch him. We have al
ways thought that Harry would de-
liver the goods when given a chance,
Go to it, High-b boy, if you can pitch
like you can hit, we can't see any
thing cept Greeneville.
Some of the readers of the sheet
have complained that the Dopist was
too much of a Bullshivikist. Trem
bic not, dear fan, if thy conscience
prieketh thee, whisper to the Dopist
and he will lay off. While he is not
a competitor of George Rhea's
enough of his friends have lived neal
glass houses to give him an inkline
of how YOU feel. Be good; don't give
too big odds, and you need not wor
ry.
The Burley Cubs shorn of all un
necessary impedimenta, will Journey
to Johnson City today where they vii
meet the Johnson City Soldiers. W.
trust that on their return they ma,
saw lin the wotds of who do you say
"Veni Vidi, Wei" which literall!
translated means, we won the game
hands down, by a comfortable mar
gin.
The Dope Writer was asked where
he got his literary style. Will say il
explanation, that this ebulient styl'
was evolved after long study of tn
, prose compositions of Mack Duke
and the poetry of Doc Harmon ant
George B. Shakespeare. Exeun
Omens.
We want to compliment the Edito
of the Daily Sun for the space he |
giving to our local base ball news
also his nerve in printing the Dope
A earless Editor is thing of beaut,
and ioy forever. Give us the truth
if it don't hurt too bad.
There was certain bird rendez
| voused in these parts some time age
but now located at Akron. II thi
greasy boy could be induces to com
back home, would be glSd to hea
from him. What do You say, Aleck
A fair fan was complaining to tn
/, Dope Writer that he should give tn
> home players more notoriety in tn
write-ups. She said, "Now, for ir
stance, Ebb King, the third basemar
7 is just too nice for anything and ha
the sweetest voice" We said, Yes
but what's This Gay Lothario's bat
4 ting average?" She said, "Judgin
his batting average from the line @
| heart talk that he is able to hand ou
that it must be in the neighborhoo
Of 1000" From this you can readil
see that Ebb is getting his hits a
right.
= An ous s-of -towner asked one Of tn
ball players who halls from Knoxvill
how he liked Greeneville. This pai
: times said that it was the best town
h the world; thet eerybody had none
and knew how to spend it to make
Z guy feel at home. AS long as tn
feeling prevails among our player
they viii give US the best that the
have. Keep up the morale of II
team BY backing them up, and don
fail extend the glad hand to tn
boys Who are with US.
