own conscientious knowledge, seen
staged on the ole diamond in
the days OF rockies and "amatoors,"
when baseball was a disease, not d
fad. Some one said it was the Cow

l1eVe it, even tho there was 'Oie
Prof. out in the box on to the very
end, and Spike and Clarence Ragan,
Sid Fuhrmann and Sid Frederick at
their old places. I'd rather call it
the G. S. A. Fuhrmann Baseball
CLUB, which, as old Sid himself SAID,
sounds Well but doesn't mean any
thing. And Sid, you're right at that

Jahncke yard. There should be with
two yachts to go under construction
shortly.
Mr.. A. Hoffman, who is on the edi-

it be?
Didja notice the commotion In
town Sunday afternoon, principally
among the younger girls? No won
der! Kid Jerry Blanchard, from
Bayou Lacombe, was in evidence.
Now, Mamie, couldn't help but OBJ
serve the smiles on all the other
girls faces. You know Jerry is
aWtully good looking.
Now isn't it funny how folks, es-
pecially in small community where
everybody knows when you forgot
to feed the cat, and just how many
pounds of ice a week you can afford,
get things sometimes topsy-turvy
