Nyack's Ball Team
Still Fiourishing
Despite Injunction

Nyack's hlsebail team, composed OF
some Of the highest saiaried ball
players in captivity, yesterday lost the
second game Of the Rockland County
championship series to Haverstraw'
The final game, Supreme Court injunc-
tions perynitting, will be played some
time before Jimmy Collins. Nyack's )
famous poet, writes his annual poem,
"Snowbcund."
The history OF the Nyack team is as
hideous as backyard Tommy. few
Nyack boys formed club. They
played to about three hundred fans
and when the game was over passed
straw hat by way of sympathy. Dom
0mnipotent, known more famliiarly, as
Doc Bernard, leader of Nyack's trolle-
some millionaire colony, slipped along
in fatherly way and told the boys he
would show them tfe path to fame.
One by one the Nyack boys were
given the air. Big and little leaguers
were hired. Money-pishl A mere
trife Dom showed Nyack and the
fans came for miles to see the big
league outfit. A grandstand was built.
The crowd numbered thousands and a
corps of ticket sellers supplanted the
timid hat passer. Then Manager Ly-
decker was fired and Dom became Of
fetal manager. That set Nyack Main
Street afire with gossip.
The Big Ticket Scandal
The correspondence school that
coached Dom evidently taught that an
error on the part Of high salaried
player meant o blue envelope should
follow. II o team came to town with
. pitcher that could defeat the Nyack
team Dom hired him. But the big BAN
came when Dom, iii big league style
announced ticket scandal.
Last week Dom announced in "The
Nyack Journal" that some one had been
printing counterfeit tickets and the
team would end the season with few
thousand dollars unpaid. The ticket
vendors, all well known Nyack boys
went over the moon. The next da,
Com retracted what he had said. II,
apologi2ed and said he wouldn't hur
any ones feelings for million bal
games. But then Deputy Sheriff Mix
McNichol came along on top of this an,
stuck funny looking document unde
oom's nose. 1t was from Judge Young
with the pleasant news that the pro
ceeds Of yesterdays game would hav
to be held up until it was settled VIII
was going to pay Manager Lydecke
the S42o that was owed him.
Yesterday Dom and his friend, Judg
Benjamin Haas, Police Judge Q
Nyaek, who is one of the clubs com
missioners, hired Marty Gross, tn
scrapper who is to settle an argu
inent of his own with Panama Joe Gan
in few weeks up at the Common
wealth Club as chief ticket coilecto,
No cne would say how much was take
in yesterday. The Nyack players wer
al paid and Haverstraw was given it
guarantee and evidently there was stil
enough left over to comply with Judg
Young's order.
Manager Admits Defeat
In the fifth inning of yesterday
game, with the score 5 to i agains
Nyack, Oom's chief interest was TO tos
coin TO see where next Sundays gam
would be played. To manager lik
Dom, four innings could not decide
ball game. Nyack had headache owe
the whole proceedings. Dick Rudolph
who lives in Nyaek, was mentioned a
possible manager when the Brave
closed up shop this fall, but Dick evi
IDENTIFY did not measure up to 0ems
standard Heinie Barteis, who ulay
shcrtstep with New Haven, the Easteri
League champions, was not goo,
enough for the Nynck intield becsus,
ne was u Nysck boy. Next Sunday al
the fans who own earmplfs intend {,
