did not stop at Sat-sop. We were
celebrating the armistice and We
wanted all Of Grays Harbor county
to join in with MS, so on we went to
Montesano. We stopped there a few
minutes, and when they changed
speakers we headed for Aberdeen
parade, too. Before reaching Aber-
deem the donkey slipped and, truck
and all, landed in the ditch. bringing
the entire parade to a sudden stop
in the woods. Willing hands at once
set to work to get our braying ma
chine on the road again, and right
them to consider me un-American,
when I proposed to leave the noisy
monster in the ditch while we went
on TO the big celebration that was
being celebrated in Aberdeen. Not
an auto would leave until our toot-
ling donkey could lead us into the
big celebration, which was accom-
plished in about two hours, and
everyone was happy. We were a
little late getting into Aberdeen, but
they knew we weer there when we.
with big Jack, braying before US, ac-
tually did bray "to beat the band"
The band had to give up in dis-bray.
We got back to Elma some time
that night. And knew we had cele-
lbrated the end Of the war.

BREEZY" DUCCER

organlzation--season Lasts For
Several Months Yet.

A real live baseball team for Co
lumbia. Sounds like the good old
days, doesn't it, but that is what is In
prospect, wether 1t ever comes to pass
or nOt-but 1t is in the hands of the
Invest bunch of fans that ever struck
Columbia and 1t is not unlikely that
Columbia baseball bugs will hear the
old familiar "Play Ball" before the
end of the present season.
Here's the secret: With an abun-
dance of material at hand, Columbia
Elks are planning to organize team
to be piloted by Breezy" Digger, 9TH
erwise Emmett. Here's probable
line up: Monte Mcdaniel, coach of
Central Highs championship basket
ball outfit and all around athlete,
catcher; Max ,Hardison, assistant
coach at High School, and also all
around athlete, on second base; Jim
my Cecil. the Setback" shark, on the
initial sack; Houston, alias Fatty
Cecil, on short; Herbert, otherwise
Baby" Dyer, on the hot corner; Louis
Hughes and j. V. Johnson are pros
pective riflemen, while the outer gar
dens will be kept free from surplus
balls by Haywood Stephenson, Will
Wilsford and others. Prospective
tossers are Ewing Frakes, Bowser
Frakes and Anthony d. Whitson, "the
electric light kid" and Robert Wal
ke:.
There's lots of good material in the
Elks club to select from, and there
was never a better bunch of rooters
ever assembled than that gang.
Manager Breezy" will likely call
a meeting of his yonng hopefuls with
in the next few days, and there's
liable to be something doing if he
does. Any other bunch in town that
feels an inclination to play is cordial
ly invited to get busy and organize.
