WaXahachie getting on the map

UP a story that Pat Monahan
says he turned up while scouting
in small league in the Middle
West.
According to Pat the manager
of the ball team used word
signs" When he wanted a GER
tain play put on he used key
word to notify his players. The
key word for putting on the hit
and run, with a man on first
base, was the name of any town
west of the Mississippi river.
A rupner got on first, the bat
ter came up, and the manager,
prancing on the coaching line let
out this yell:
That's the boy, on your toes
everybody on your toes, every
body; Observation-Disclosures"
The batter, who was posed for
whatever might come up, gripped
his bat, hesitated, then turned
out of the box and yelled at the
manager:
"Wakie--what? Where the
hell's that town. anyway"
Just then the pitcher slipped
one straight over and the runner
was caught flat-footed off first.
The batter was fined S. that
night for not knowing his geog-
raphy.
