BABES ALL RIGHT,
BUT, OH YOU GEORGE

(BH H4arEin EAaASyJ
They can rave about Babe Ruth
and the wallops that he makes
! About the paralyzipg clouts of
which he daily partakes.
He's the soporific hitter, to him this
we'll not deny,
But mention George ii. Sisler and
from Ruth there come sigh.
For Ruth would be in heaven if Sis
Ter he could pace.
He would give his everything just
to head the batting race.
| For while the Babe. is No. / in home
home runs Ger the fence,
Sisler tops them all today in every
other sense.
So give us George Sisler, give us
G. H. S.,
Not the big bambino, for he's more
or less a guess.
But why do we cry thusly, why shed
any tear,
| When the prince Of willow weld
ers is in Bogalusa, here.
Yea, verify, Bogalusans eat we'll
and be merry, for soon George will
be gone.
What think We natives of that
trimming the men of Fohl surrounded
Uncle Robbie's champions with Tues
day? Well, for those who might en-
terrain the opinion that it was just
an off day for Brooklyn and lucky
one Of st. Louis, let them acquire
the knowledge that the Browns were
merely working in characteristic
style, the style that last season placed
them on the peak Of the batting
world.
To "Billy the Kid" Gleason goes
the honor for touching off the fuse
to the pyrotechnics which so illum-
mated Bogalusa's black belt and
eclipsed all the Jewels dotting the
crowns Of the National League cham
pions. And while the fans raved and
the band played and the Browns hit
and the sun shone, there was one pc
tite and pretty miss in the stands who
never for an instant deigned to gaze
at anyone but the Holyoke Harp.
While Gleason applied the match,
it was not other than Sisler who gave
his mighty hickory as fuel for the
fire, George driving in the first two
runs with a line drive over the CEN
ter field fence, sending in Gleason
again with single in the third and
repeating the performance during the
holocaust of the fifth inning. All in
all, Sisler combed a home run, a
double and two singles in five at
tempts, scored two runs himself and
pounded in three more. And just
peruse that he does all this although
handicapped somewhat with bruised
digit on his right pedal,
One of the Brooklyn writer's failed
to "knock wood" in the eighth after
he remarked that pitcher Miljus of
the Dodgers had not given hit up to
that period. No sooner said than
done, for Baby Doll jacobson slam
med one over the right field fence
as the last word of Miljus' praise
slipped from the Flatbush scribe's vo-
cal organs. Immediately thereafter
Williams duplicated the feat for his
second homer of the game. There
followed two singles, a perfect bunt
by Tobin and Smiths second safety,
before Burwell also hoisted the leath-
er over the boards.
Williams, a busy lad in left field.
created a bit of record in the second
inning, Ken making two assists and
one putout prior to the third out It
was in that chapter that Brooklyn
made a triple, home run and double,
but could only count one run, Honey
getting nailed when he attempted to
stretch his triple and Neis aimlessly
ambling off second after doubling to
be killed in the second half of /
double play.
It is said that "Dixie1 Davis has
become most fastidious concerning
things epicurean. On a recent hunt
ing and fishing trip near Bogalusa,
the highlander refused to partake
of certain foodstuffs because small
particles Of questionable material
got mixed therein. Only a squirrel
was bagged on the jaunt and from re-
liable sources. comes the information
that the party would not have cap
tured this if the, squirrel had not
chased Davis.
The old song 81 am always chas-
ing rainbows," has been changed in
the Pine TEE dining room to sSHe
are ever chasing maple syrup"
There's a footrace on in the chow
emporium every morning, with the
darky walters as the contestants and
the diners as the spectators. It's a
merry sprint and when the Browns
leave, that lone syrup container that
does such yeoman service at every
table should be pensioned.
