No single day of the competition
has been more spirited than that
in which the judges had to decide
from the hundreds of limerick last
lines, upon four suitable ones worthy
OF the ten tickets today. The race
was close and when fifty good ones
had been culled from the lot it
required almost four hours for the
three jurists, Sylvia Sedgewick,
Ames Kendrick, and Skillet" Finn,
to agree upon the actual winners.
There was considerable argument
as to whether the word, colleague"
was suitable to jibe with the word
league" which was the last word
in the first line of the Harris jingle.
1t was finally decided that that
ending was too similar to be
allowed to rule among the winners
and with that broad decision the
hopes of dozens went neeting into
thin ether.
Fully so per cent of the Harris
answers wound up with colleague"
but as the similarity with the basic
word, league" was too great, it
could not be accepted.
Another great favOrite Was
intrigue" which was O. K, but
there was so little choice among
them that 1t was eliminated prac-
tlcally, because no distinction
could be drawn among the offer
ings using that expression.
Put yourself for q moment in the
position Of the judges! If you had
over three hundred limericks end
ing in the word intrigue" you'd
have a hot time reaching a con-
clusion as to a winner among them
and when you'd satisfied yourself,
then you'd have hotter time salts
flying the disappointed ones using
the same word.
Therefore, they hunted for liner
icks with different angles on 'em
and they hope they have acted
wisely. Here you are:
Buck Harris now bosses the league,
We notice he shows no fatigue,
His men are all grown,
He lets 'em alone,
"As he would star Of Flo. Zieg."
That was written by James w.
Head, Of Bancroft, Va, and while
many will say Head has manufac-
tured a word-"Zieg"-taken in
connection with Flo" it is the
opinion that it is broad enough to
make sense to everyone. And
that's that.

Griffin is a city of some 10000
population, situated in the heart Of
q rich cotton country, with nine
big cotton mills and two finishing
plants. 1t must have been a busy
day in the mills for only couple
of hundred loafers showed up, not
to speak Of three ladies, who kicked
the travelling correspondents in the
back as they kept their official
tabulation.
Not that they were hostile, but
wholly through exuberance, because
they thought they were looking at
the great Walter Johnson, not
knowing he was Dangerous Dan
McGrew. It might pe explained
that Griffin sports no press stand,
the correspondents being permitted
to do their work right among the
fans, which has its drawbacks, also
kicks in the back. It Is not believed
that the GriffS win appear again in
Griffin for many a day.
Bucky Harris had planned to
use Zachary, but the big south
paw warmed poorly and Byron
Spence was sent to the hill. For
the first time this spring he failed
to be effective and was SOundly
drubbed in two innings. Two
home runs and three singles were
marked up against him before
Fred Wingfield replaced him.
Wingfield looked like q million
dollars for four frames, not giving
the semblance of hit. He weak
ened in the seventh and after al.
lowing couple of singles, he saw
Sperber. a pinch hitter from the
Texas league, wallop a home run
that was good for three more USE
less tallies.
Fred Lucas, a little red-headed
lad from the Texas League, stood
the Griffs on their several heads.
He had fine speed, a good curve
ball and a large supply of resin.
The combination was too much.
All the National League pitchers
facing the Griffs this spring have
used resin, though it is barred
when the season gets under way.
1t gives them more ability to con-
troll their curve ball. Bucky Harris
Is making no kick, nor IL he allow
ing his pitchers to use it.
The Griffs had small chance to
win that game at Griffin The
Braves leaped on Specie in the
very first frame when Bancroft e
single to center brought him all
around when Rice let the ball roll
through his legs out on the broad
red clay country behind him A
couple Of blokes persisted. Jeff
Tferney walloped clean home run
out over Rice's noble eyebrows for
the second run Of the frame.
The Washington times., 1924-04-10

Specie was still ineffective in
the second, and another tally was
chaIked up for the Braves when
Jack Kelleher hammered a homer
over Memo LeibOld's head. O'Neil
Lucas hit safety, but a snappy
double play ended the inning.
