ence. 1t is work. and believe me YOU
must keep your eyes open. One fell
low gets in the box they said. but |
did not see any box, but at any rate
he was called the pitcher. but believe
me he threw that ball like he was
trying to knock the devil out OF some

At times he would not strike, but
there was = white man who would
say strike. and call him right out.
Now when the game is on. YOU
watch the fellow at the bat, the
pitcher and the catcher, and the bat
ter keeps his eye on the pitcher, the
basemen. the ficlders and the short
stop. and his aim is to make first
base, then second. but often he may
get to first but get put out before
he reaches the second, and then he
may make second and never see third,
or even some. fellows got on third
and could not make it home / just
kept them two women busy until
some fellow declared that | must be

not crazy but "nutty," whatever that
is, but | told him / was learning how

There were busy times around Poro

fixing for a grand wedding. and II is
all over now and the groom is cele-

bride was the bookkecper for Poro
College, Mrs. Nelma Perkins, former

writing down things in the Poro Col
lcge books for long time. so when
she decided to marry. believe me Mrs.
