the performance of Walker, 18-year-
old high school pitching marvel as. he
took his time about making monkeys
out Of the visitors Walker allowed

fourteen of the legionaires while Man

One Of the members Of the American
Legion team hands the correspondent
the following version Of the perform
ance OF the Legionaires here Saturday,
with request to publish:
WhoopeeI
Speaking about good baseball teams.
pitching horseshoes and the like, the
Yorkville Lcgionaires have some bone
headed aggregation Of marble shooters.
They were beaten 11-9 by Fort Mill
Thursday afternoon. Not so bad; but
listen at this-they flivered up to Clo-
yer Saturday afternoon to lick EN- and
came home without one Of nine crack
players having reached the home plate,
while Clover piled up runs. Instead
of being crack players they are crack
ed players. Several Of the boys were
complaining about their caps being too
small, but 1 think that after this they
will lust fit. Hal Mackorell, Jimmie
Sherer, Wallace Marshall, John Logan,
Carl Gaulden and Frank Simrill starred
for Yorkville by striking out several
times. Hal AM, Jimmie tied for first
Frank Simrill got two hits-one
over second and one on the arm. we
are all proud Of Frank. We did not
have Tom Quinn along; but we can
easily give Tom credit for getting a hit
for he gets hit in every game. Howard
McMackin didn't make any errors at
first because Paul Bratton never did
get 'cm within six feet OF him and
Howard never was known to take his
foot off the bag to get one. Serge
Wallace Marshall, who played left field'
only made one error. Someone knock
ed him a fly and he stopped running to
pick up a four-leaf clover and failed
to catch it. He still has the clover.
pep" Ashe made two hits-one over
short and one with little blonde on
the side line. Johnny Logan tried to
steal second base, but it was tied down
and he faileds and was thrown out.
Howard McMackin tried it also. but ne
ran too long in one place and was
thrown out.
Jimmie Sherer got to third base
once; but he was sent up there to
coach. AS a good ball player he is a
pretty good butcher.
Paul Bratton as a third baseman
would make the best fielder imagina-
Bile. He threw a ball to first and it
hasn't been found yet. He has won
derful arm to use on park bench.
"Toots Galuden is a good pitcher.
He puts en- where the batter likes EN-
He was as wild as March hare. The
boys make the best boneheaded plays
you ever saw. If you don't believe it
come to our next game and see Glover
has a good team and Johnny Walker
sho can pitch"
