The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1920-07-28

Bishop runs true to form, we may ex-
pect to see him wandering back long
after the curtain has boon rung down
on our final game.
The accommodating Editor Of the
Sun says that when he was hood
winked into agreeing to run the dope
column free of charge, chat he did
not realize that this was free adj
yertising scheme Matched ia the fer
tile brains Of the local management
to boost the game, but chat he has
gone too far TO back out; that though
he realizes he has made bad bar-
gain, that he will stick as long as the
dope doesn't get too rank. We. APP
preciate the generous spirit Of the
Editor and promise that we shall
never insert anything but what we
readily take back, should occasion
require.
The Dope writer was dragged over
the Goals this morning by one Of his
most admired characters. She told
us that she was willing to do anything
to boost the game and help the team
TO win, but that she felt we were de-
voting too much space to certain
street of the city. We immediately
threw out screen of sweet words Of
apology, but could not quite nut
| over, SO as conciliatory offer, we
promised to work certain other
streets and sections for d short per-
iod. If you miss attention being call
ed to anything in particular, will just
say that by next week we believe that
everything will be O. X. again and
we can proceed in our usual manner
| Ii you have grievance all you have
| to do to have same corrected is just
let us know-we will do the rest.

We were gleefully informed today
by our friend, Steel-Arm, that he
would be free for the next thirty
days to give his full time and atten-
lion to attending the games, or any
thing else that should crop up, as the
wife had definitely decided to spend
he next month out Of town. r.
seems that the other member of the
firm Is not so happy, as his good wife
has just as definitely decided to spend
her vacation at home. Such is fate.
Watch the Dope columns closely for
The next few days for the doings Of
Steel-Arm, while the Chief Custo-
dian is away as we know he will pull
enough real stuff to make spicy read
ing for the sheet. We rejoice with
our friend and extend coincidence t,
the less fortunate friend. !

Greeneville lost two games on Tues
day to Elizabethton by close scores.
This shows that our boys are in the
game even If they lose. While it will
be a disappointed team that returns

contests OH the home grounds or

We notice that Jesse James Mul-
len has invested his recent earnings
| in Ford touring car. We were very
much surprised at this as we had fig
ured that he would buy himself

famous predecessor; but this is
progressive age and what makes it in
teresting Is that you can't dope it out
IN paper We would be glad to tour
some with Mr.. Mullen as long as he
rayels toward the East, but would
be afraid to risk the Southern route
via. Morristown for a while yet. Nc
-loubt the clouds will soon roll bv
and everything viii be as it once was.
