means of financing the proposition.

that stoves have been installed IN
the dormatory and dining room, and
assured the Isaac Waltons that any

the road to camp charted from the
turn on the Lock IT road at Oak
Grove. The new route insures better
roads to motorists visiting Camp

BY quick move Robbie shot the bail
down to the bag and the runner, ap-
parently, was blocked off the bag.
But Hurst did not call him out He
merely spread out his hands, indicat-
ing that the runner was safe. There
was big howl from the crowd
What's the matter with you,
Tim2" Robbie demanded to know.
Are you blind? Why. had that man
frozen off the bag. There wasn't a
chance for him to get back. l tell
you he was frozen off"
"All right. Old Timer" said Tim
in that cutting voice, at the same
time reaching over and twisting Rob-
bie's mustacne, wen call it one man
froze in the game. Now, let's CO."
His Mustache Twisted
For a moment Robbie was so dunn
founded that he silently went on
playing. But the further he went the
madden he got. Back at the bench
the players started Kidding him. But
for us stopping him | think he woulu
have killed Hurst if he'd have had a
chance in the next two or three in
nings. 1t was weeks before he got
over the Indignation of having had
his mustache twisted-and by an UNI
pire at that. To this day if anyone
says anything about a runner being
frozen off first it gets laugh out
OF Robbie.
In Washington the games were al
ways started at 4:S0 in the afternoon
SO as to get the crowd from the
various state departments. AS re-
suit OF this we often ran into dark
ness and there were constant rows
about the games being called.
Garrison, | think it was, was pitch
ing one day and Robbie catching.
Jack kerns was umpiring. Kerns
would never call a game on account
OF darkness il he could help it. We
used to quarrel with him necessarily.
on this day it really was getting too
dark to play, but Kerns was obstinate.
Threw Lemon Across
The pitchers in those days had a
habit of sucking lemons between in
nihgs to keep their mouths from get
ting dry. Several OF these discarded
lemons were on the bench. GARRISON
picked UP one and started to the box
to pitch another inning after Kerns
had again refused to call the game
He left the ball on the bench.
Taking a big wind-up Clarkson
whipped the lemon over the plate and
Robbie caught it.
Strike one.' kerns called.
Look what you called" Robbie
said. showing him the lemons. THE
balls on the bench"
"Game called on account of dark
ness" Kerns Immediately announced
That was enough proof for him.
Robbie had a great way in those
days of arguing with an umpire
quietly instead of showing him ur
before the crowd. 1t worked, too.
At the risk Of being tiresome and
garrulous | must tell one more.
