(By Staff Correspondent
East View, Aug. 17.-People Of this
community to the number of more
than 300 gathered at the school house
here today to enjoy a community pic
mic which was held under the auspices
of and for the benefit Of the East View
Baseball Association. Those in attend
ance included not only residents of the
immediate community but many resi-
dents Of Tirzah and other communities
some distance away from here. The
crowd came rather early and did not
depart until late in the afternoon, two
games of baseball, one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon being
the principal features to attract their
interest. 40
A refreshment stand set up short
distance away from the school house
proved q veritable oasis for lots OF
folks since the dancing rays Of an Au-
day causing thirsty palates to demand
much ice cold lemonade and bottled
drinks and other refreshments. The
refreshment stand, the proceeds from
which went to the Baseball Associa-
ton, was in charge of Messrs." Craig
Barnett, r, M. Sadler and others and
the profit made is a sum sufficient to
keep the baseball team in bats and
baseballs for the remainder OF the
baseball season at least. ~
Dinner was served shortly after the
noon hour. AS is always the CASE at
East View, there was plenty Of fried
chicken and cake and pie and custarf
and other edibles delicious and paiat-
able. and the good housewives OF the
East View community carried away
Of the remnants a quantity Of food
sufficient perhaps to feed another
crowd as large as that which attended
the picnic here. ds+.
After grace was said by Rev. RID.
Byrd, pastor Of Tirzah A. r. p. church
the picnickers went to It and the feast
which was topped off with water melon
and cantaloupe, was an enjoyable
affair. o - ~
WIZ For oiris ..
The great feature OF the morning
programme was baseball game be-
tween the boys and the girls. The
East View team bantered the girls for
game Offering to play them with
only one hand. the understanding be-
ing that the losing team should treat
the winning team at the refreshment
stand. The girls were keen to accept
the challenge and the East View pic
nickers saw baseball game, the like
of which they had never seen before.
Walter Shillinglaw, well known East
View citizen was umpire and c. @.
Hope was official scorer. The girls In
sist that neither the umpire nor. the
scorer was biased in their, favor and IL
anybody had an idea that Umpire
Shilling'aw gave the ladies the big
end" Of his decisions ana Scorer Hope
slipped in a few tallies on their side
of the score card 1t was not so intimat-
ed this afternoon. Anyhow the unique
baseball game resulted in a victory for
the ladies by score of IA to IL.
The line IN for the girls was asa fol-
lows: Elizabeth Campbell, pitcher;
Ida Hope, catcher; Pearl Hope, first
base; Romay Gettys, second base;
Mrs. Edna Hope. third base; Annie
Hope, short stop; Alice Gettys, center
field; Cora Lee Gettys, right field;
Louise Fairris, left field.
Old Men Wouldn't Play.
An effort was made during the day
to stage a game between the older men
of the community; but the attempt
failed. While there were some who
were quite willing 1t was found to be
impossible to get the necessary
eighteen elders so the plan was
abandoned.
Win for Cotton Belt.
The days programme came to a
close with a baseball game between
East View and the strong COTTON Belt
team, which resulted in a victory for
the latter by score of 6 to 4. 1t was
an interesting exhibition Of the nation-
al pastime, featured by numerous good
plays. The visiting team touched
Humphries, East View pitcher for a
couple Of safeties in the first frame
and scored twice but after that Hum
phries and the entire team frightened
up and while four more runs were
added, they did not come so easy. Fea-
lures of the game were the hitting OF
Shillinglaw, East View right fielder
and the pitching Of Maynard Grayson
for the visitors, the East View lads
being unable to solve his delivery.
Batteries: East View-Humphries and
Joe Shillinglaw; Cotton Belt-May-
nard Grayson and Moffatt Thomas.
