The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1920-07-02
BASE BALL DOPE AND
OTHER STUFF

"A little surprised, Ell, Fans, to see
the dope column today? But dis
astrous defeat like was handed US
yesterday while not conducive to a
free flow Of literary talent, is not
sufficient within itself to quench the
hope that springs eternal IA the hui
man breast to look for the silver lin
ing. Pull back, old clouds, and let
us win today!
The Local Club was compelled to
cut down the number Of salaricd paly-
ers which were being carried on the
pay roll, and have released Hodge
and Bowman. The fans regret to
see these boys leave US, and wish for
the mthe best Of luck. We under
stand that thy have both signed with
Elizabethton.
The Management Of the team on
the field has been turned over TO Sam
Alexander, with full power to dictate
what shall be done on the field. We
have the utmost confidence in this
big boys ability to put the pep into
the boys. Watch us come!
1900 :---
Sam Doak will continue to handle
the management Of the team except
on the field, this department having
been turned over to Big Aleck"
Sam will play second and take care of
the club off the field. Here's wish
ing this new management success.
Dooley Quinn, our new pitcher,
showed up we'll for four innings;
seemed to have everything. When
| the fatal fifth arrived the Morristown
| sluggers fattened their batting aver
age sufficient to hold them for the
! balance Of the season. We still have
faith in the ney pitcher, and are go
ing to keep him for future plays as
we believe he can deliver the goods,
especially against team of right
handed hitters.
Thompson will get chance against
Morristown this week to again show
his wares. This boy has come
through all right in every attempt so
far, and we pick him to win. Go to
it, old Iron Man, that old confidence
stuff that you tote may get long
way in winning the game.
1 --- 49,
Returns from the game by innings
has been arranged for by the Mason
Corner Tobacco Co. Be on hands,
as there will be new story to tell to-
lay.
The Journal and Tribune has long
| wrlte-up in regard to the troubles Of
The City League at Knoxville. Alcoa
las such big lead that all interest
las been destroyed in the race. This
will always happen when some one
aggregation has too much coin and
fathers in all the best players. Let
is take warning in our little circuit
md put salary limit on before it is
too late.
| M -~r- :----4t
We are still at the foot of the lad.
Ter by a very slight margin, but no
cam has made a r,inav-y race so
far. and from all indications, the race
till belongs to anybody. Our show
ng has been only fair, but we are in
10 wise discouraged as the manage
nent and team are working hand in
| hand to get together winning COM
bination. If we don't win soon, we
will have to hang Johnny Bernard,
as he is solely responsible for our
)oor showing doesn't attend half the
games, and can never be found around
Mr. Mullen's office or the Mason
Corner. Dig out, Johnny, you have
heard the expression that it might be
worse. Cheer up, the season is
young and will produce lots Of sur
prises before Labor Day.
II Get set for the Fifth of July al
East. End Park. This will be prac.
tically all day affair, and we want
q crowd of at least 200 in attend
ance. Two ball games and sever
athletic events. We know for sure
hat we will win some Of these events
If we can not win ball games, W,
may at the meet discover what oul
players are best adapted to and trair
them for the Olympic Games which
come off soon in Europe.
- 49,.
II If Greeneville wins or loses TODAY
at Morristown, you may still expec
20 see some of the happenings in thu
dope tomorrow We refuse to b.
down-hearted and believe that we will
have sufficient inspiration from tn,
game today to fill several columns
tomorrow. Hands up and at 'em
boys.
