: BASE BALL DOPE AND
OTHER STUFF
I 4***#******#****s


Did you see the game yesterday?
If you didn't, you missed one that did
the hearts Of the fans good. The
game was apparently slowed away on
ice until the 9Th, when our boys stag
ed one of their famous rallies and
broke the heart Of the visiting aggre-
cation. A team that can put up the
game rallies that we have seen our
boys pull, have the stuff, and are
bound to deliver before the season is
much older.
High and Handsome, living up to
the admonition of the dope writer,
kissed the ball good and hard. When
the ball was relayed TO infield this
same big boy was safely perched on
third, having driven in two runs
ahead of him. That's the system,
High; put the timber to it and you
have sure won happy fcne.
Bowman, our diminutive second
baseman, delivered the goods yester-
day in nice style, accepting all chances
without an error and hitting the ball
in a most satisfactory manner. Go
to it, Guinea, we have always thought
you had the stuff
---.-
The inside base ball displayed by
our Manager yesterday was far ahead
of ANYTHING yet displayed. The SUBJ
stitutions made were for the best,
and it kept the opposing team guess
ing as to what new man can do.
The players were kept full of pep,
and if we can overcome the first two
or three innings, we will sure win
some games,
Big Aleck was put in as pinch
hitter, but failed to come through.
Alack says that he didn't hit yester-
day, but to watch him in the next
pame. We have our eye on you, Old
Greasy, and are waiting for you to
hit one as in days Of yore.
Our new pitchers showed up in
only fair style. They were both sorne- !
what wild and several hits were gar
nered off their delivery, but we have
it from men who stoop behind the
back-top that these boys seem to have
the stuff. Pitching in a new town
and knowing that the crowd are ex-
pecting great things of you, is enough
in itself to make pitcher nervous.
We are going to give these boys
another chance to- show their wares
right soon, and we believe that they
have the stuff, as they come here
with good regulations for hurling the
sphere.
Eb Kings trip to Knoxville did not
seem to interfere with his playing
yesterday, as he pulled off some good |
stuff, both in the field and at the
Rat, While his playing did not suf-
fer on account Of his absence. we are
fearful that he slipped considerable
on Church street while he was away
rs we notice that there was busy do |
ngs on this thoroughfare while he
was away. Abesnce may make the
1eart grow fonder, but our money is
iown on the Home Bird who is liable
% get all the breaks of the game.
Careful, Ed,
Our erstwhile Bolshevik friends
we're back in the fold yesterday, much
% the delight of the fans. These
,avs are o. x. from their ears down,
,ut have lot to learn from their
'ars MP. Come on with your red
lag, babies, your knocks may be a
BOOST, who knows.
The new score board in right field,
lp under the big oak was p delight to
he eye. and the enterprising firm of
3acon-Dickey Really not Steel-arm)
hould be complimented on their
,rogressiveness. Any other little
that some far-sighted
link thinks would help the ground or
he surroundings may, at their own
proceed with the work. But
if there is anything espec-
ally hard. that our own Johnny has
he first call.
To our automobile riding friends
ans, we want to state that the road
say into Che grounds has been i'm
'roved. and you can now drive in in
ny kind of weather. We hope to see
more of YOU out. Drive out in your
ars, "ark under the oak and enjoy
he panorama and game. When YOU
nee enjoy this delight, you will want
0 come again.
