JOE JINX SE|zES
AND CRACKER
GANG BEATS THEM
Worst Torture of Season
Suffered by Mr.. Rob
inson's Men
BLINDED BY UNDERSH|RT
Catcher Durrance Wears
Purple Effect That Is
Too Daring

Mr.. Robinson's men found that they
could not defeat ten Georgia crackers,
including Joe Jinx, in one ball game
when the highly lettered visitors pac-
ked their bat bag at the ned of nine
rounds of fevered pastiming, which
they won by Ill score. The walk
ing signboards pointed the way all
the time.
Fresh from losing campaign in
Saintville the Georgians presented
surprising agility and potency, which
the Pals, in the early stages, sought
to offset with complacency and toler-
ance. But anxiety soon set in and
for the third time this season bugs
and buggines saw the Pals with only
one foot on the ground.
We can't find an alibi large enough
to fit, unless it be the vivid purple
undershirt worn by Mr.. Durrance, the
urbane and gentlemanly baukstopper
for the visitors. Every time a Pal
approached the plate Mr.. Durrance
would throw on his brights and dazzle
the sterling athlete. He was then
| easy meat.
The most potent factor in the Geor-
! pian's victory was the hitting of Mr.
Kicklighter, r. P. C. Royal Pressing
Club, the former amassing two dou-
bles and two singles out of five times
up and Mr.. Ragsdale tossing in a
home run bump during the melee in
the sixth. Mr.. Carroway, L. R. W
| (Ladies Ready to Wear), was the only
human billboard who failed to salutt
Mr.. Sanford with safe poke.
MarOOed on the Bags.
Much of the Pals troubles Cant
from inability to move athletes aftel
they once dug their spikes in a bag
No less than seventeen were left ma
rooned on the bags while Mr.. Dur
rance was manipulating his spot llg'h
shirt on a Pal at bat. The Pals foun'
no trouble in humping Mr.. Warren
but the bumps came in the wront
place.
Out of the four passes generousl,
5 accorded the visitors by Mr.. Sanfor
all indicated their appreciation b
coming home. In fact, it was an a
home affair for the visitors, who wer
shown scant courtesy just previous t
arriving in this burg.
The visitors were retired in one tw
three order in the first and in the lC
cal half it looked like the old, old ste
o ry. With one down Robinson walket
Quinn singled to center and Peter
singled to left, filling the bases. Wit
Wynne up it looked like a certaint!
. but the best he could do was to ia
and Larzo's foul fly to first retire
the side.
The visitors made slight gestur
in the second when Purvis, first vi
doubled to center, but he died on set
ord, Carraway tanning and Beasle
and Buie grounded out to pitcher.
In the local half of the second al
other start was made by the Pa
when Gonzales received life on a
, error at short. Holden popped
second. Sanford struck out and Ca
s lahan forced Gonzales at second.
T. Visitors Score First.
Ie Ten of the visitors runs were SEQ
; ed with two men down. In the thir
4 with two gone Sanford passed Sam
y and Kicklighter scored him wSh
is double to right center, Kicklight
