Outlaw Notes
BY THE FLUTE"

"The darkest hours Of night ar
Just before dawn" According L
this. the light ought to begin t'
shine on our column because it has
been pretty dark for the last siA
games.
Famous sporting writers: Grant
Hand Rice, Guess Who, Ben Green
stein. Hazel. "Tiny" Maxwell THE
Flute" and "Afidge" Mclaughlin.
For Sale: One slightly used score
book VIII sell at great sacrifice.
Apply to Frank (Muck) McCaulley'
manager OF the Union outlaws.
So near and yet so far far. What's
that? Why that game over at NIL
ler's lot last Wednesday evening.
Eastlake, 8; Union. .. The ball was
afraid we were going to win (and
so was Pop" Miller).
The feeling that comes once in
lifetime came TO 'Midge" McIaugh-
lin in this game when he stepped TO
the plate in the final frame. There
were two out and a man on first with
the score 2-1 against his team. Az
ter "Midge" took two healthy swings
at the air he drove out his famous
Ruthian clout and saved the day
for the leaders, and won II when he
crossed the plate on HopeweiIs
single. This feat viii hereafter be
known as the mighty Casey act"
Fred McCaulley as usual was the
big noise both at bat and in the field.
His sensational catch of Minker's
hot line drive. which resulted in a
double play. was the outstanding
feature of the game.
Fred in his first appearance in a
Westminster uniform showed the
Church League followers that he is
still the same Fred that helped !
Union grab two pennants. A homer
and two singles out OF three trips |
up is a pretty good showing for even
Babe Ruth.
Whether or not we finish in the /
cellar we will be satisfied as we had /
a good time out of IL. From giving |
trouble to the leaders TO hearing 4
funny jokes from the umpires all is
a pleasure. Anyhow didn't the AS
end in the same place for q number

While a number OF our old boys (
we're talking over old times one of
them made this remark: "Remem-
Der them old days when we took a
,opy of The Evening Journal and I,
threw It in a lady's face and said,
Pardon me, you are the mysterious
Bonnie Burr of The Wilmington Il
Evening Journal, the result getter,
,ut-those days are gone" 4
