s~]***@@@%%+*+%@'

Quite a merrie party Of the faith
ful journeyed to Johnson City on last
Thursday for the games, and stayed
over the balance OF the week h0ping
that the weather would be more IA
vorable and they would see some
games. In this they were sadly dis
appointed, but 1t Is being whispered
around that this party, not to be out
done In dampness by the weather,
staged some real stunts. Special fea-
lures brought out in these stunts were
the speeches made by different mem
bers Of the party at 4 q. m. laudatory
to the animal kingdom. They say
that there was one particular animal,
the bearer Of long ears and Of charm
ing musical equipment, whose Prov
ess was It'd in verse, to the delight Of
the listening throng. We interviewed
some of the members Of this party,
but they all claimed that they were
not putting out anything for publica-
ton. We do not blame You boys. II
the tales that are being told are true,
there were some doings. We have
our ssr to the ground and promise the
readers Of the column the very latest
just as soon as we get It.

Recently we handed out through
the dope sheet that Venus Bacon. was
soon expecting to follow the primrose
path whic hhis side partner, Steel
Arm, he's been vending for some
time. But, 1t seems that Mrs. Venus,
seeing the wild gyrations Of this same
Steel-Arm, during the wife's vaca-
ton, has wisely reconsidered her de-
termination TO take vacation and
win remain at home, acting as chape-
rome to Mr.. Venus, at the numerous
base ball games, dam dances held at
the damn etc. We think this good
madam Is unduly alarmed over this
hefty gentleman as we have watched
his going out and coming in for some
time. hoping to catch him with the
goods, and we can say to this pro
tecting angel, that if her dear Hubby
is up to anything that is not perfectly
proper, that we have failed I'd find
1t out. The good ladies Of the town
know us, and know that we do not
hesitate to tell them what is doing,
so take our word for it and acknowl-
edge to John, when he comes in to.

the world and that you do not pro-
pose to condemn him because he went
to johnson City with that rough
bunch Of speech makers and low hunt
ers.
Eddie Kink returned from an all
day outing at Moorcsburg Springs,
where he put in full day Sunday,
He reports that the water and eating
were fine. He also mentioned the
condition of the roads, CROPS en- route
ETC., but made no mention of The

not allow our imagination to, wander
further, but Eddie says that il the
Umpire Of the game will give him Q
fair decision, that he will win the
game. We do not know who the Um-
Dire referred to is, or what he has to
do with Eddie's game; but we do know
that an Umpire can make or break
the best game that ever was played.
Here's hoping that il there are any
