LUCAS PUT ON BIG
TIME STUFF WITH
PALS At HIS BACK
State Champions Easy
Prey in Opening Bat
tie of Campaign
SAINTS GOULD N0I HIT
Ohlinger Easily Solved
and Yielded Up Five
Runs

St. Petc's rowing champeens yield
ed to the pitching opportunities of
Mr. Grunt Lucas in the first phase of
campaign to determine titular rights
in Florida pastimeing yesterday. The
SO score affords a perfect statistical
composite Of the battle, with ampli
fled and amended details appended
hereto as exhibit B.
Opportunity has all of her hair on
her forehead, but when she has pass
ed you cannot call her back. She has
no tuft whereby you can lay hold on
her, for she is bald on the back of
her head, and never returns. So Mr..
Lucas did not overlook her among the
ephemeral fairies who might have
called him to the wild, but seized her
by abbreviated hirsute appendages
and chung.
1t is the contest that delights us,
not the victory; we are pleased with
the combat of animals, but not with
the victor tearing the vanquished, and
SO, we have no chandeliers note to
emit, holding our enemy in honor and
in generosity. They are good sports
Striving, as we ever do, to extract
the sting from disaster, we pass
along from the salve to the fact.
General Ohlinger Outmaneuvered
General Ohlinger, field marshal of
the Saints general staff, edged the
assault and bufpered the defense of
the invaders, but unfamiliority with
the terrain and low visibility handi-
capped his strategy, against which
Mr. Callahan tossed four base blow
after shock squd, tiled by the PO-
tato King as the wrecking crew, had
fired off four singles and accumulated
three scores in the second phase.
Thereafter the great duellist was on
the defensive.
There were no troubled waters for
Mr.. Lucas, first class sailor recently |
of Uncle Sans boat squad. Tight as
cheese he had sturdy yeomen at the
oars and fair winds. Sometimes we
would like to divulge from the tech
nical narrative to hang a. few tinted !
words to the memory of the great |
Mr.. Grunt. We might want to paint
Il word picture of him alongside the
'Shosone Catapault Who can tell?
The doings were too serious to per-
NIT of much airy persiflage, but since
we have led our audience SO often to
expect exploitation Of the potent fac
tors IN the fray we cannot refrain |
from calling attention to two small !
items that may or may have not con-
tributed to the undoing of our guests.
SartOrial Lure Dazes Saints
Under the spell of dainty feminity
in the press coop it was not an easy
matter to diagnose all of the causes,
although wholly receptive as to the
effect, Of the afternoons struggle.
From expert inform we learn that the
Saints essay the fancy garb, with
jaunty swimmers, and that when they
viewed the sartorial attainments Of |
our own Mr. Fweddy Chochran, just
back from the great marts, they went
blooey. Mr. Fweddy affected light .

coat to match pale lavender hosiery,

a rah-rah ribbon. Parked on a front
row Mr.. Fweddy flashed continuous
Iy at Mr.. Ohlinge,, the champeen
wardrobe man en- tour with the Saints
and so charmed him that his gener-
Osity contributed TO a full afternoons

bugs and buggines. Z
