120G-Brooks Field
Wins, 10 to 3.

IL you ever become a newspaper
sport writer KNOCK on WOODY and
waltz gaily out on a baseball field to
get the lineups for game in. which
a team of bloomer girls is to be party
of the first part, take this tip.
Don't walk up to the first uni
formed person you see, politely lift
your hat and say in falsetto voice !;
Pardon me, madam, but will you d.
rect me to the manager, captain, sec
rotary or office girl of this here ball
team|
Don't do that.
Because, without fail, madam"
will wheel around, stick out chin
with two days growth OF whiskers on
it, spit tobacco juice Oh your pants
leg and bark in bass voice: Says
which,?
1t never fails.
THE MALE BATTERY
1t didn't fail Sunday. Madam"
turned out to be part of the male
battery that the Boston Bloomer Girls
carry along in case the regular bob
haired battery gets its signals crossed
and the mean men at bat score too
many runs.
This male battery got into the Sun
day game that the strong Brooks Field
Filters won at Blocks Stadium by a
score of 10 to 3.
1t seems that Lillian Coker, regu-
lar twirler, had developed a Char
lotte horse" in her pitching arm, ant
was assigned TO right field. Beatriefi
(Eeanuts) Schmidt, very comedy
little cond-bascman, esayed TO fool
the Filters with slow hooks, la y}ob
Couchman, but flock of singles and
some fielding that Captain Mabel
Bohle admitted almost provoked her
to unladylike language permitted the
Brooks Field boys seven runs in round
enc.

is Petit, by the way, was cognizant OF

lie struck out eleven Brooks Field
crs and allowed two hits.
Cornelius and Derybery hurled for
the Filters and had no mercy on the
girls, although perhaps they didn't
fry rs hard as they might have against
Kelly Field or some such aggregation.
A crowd of 1900 turned out to see
the fun.
Nobody expected fiery. baseball
contest, and they didn't see one, but
they saw several very good women
bali players and they had lots Of fun
joshinS and cheering.
MARRIED BATTERS
The two Brooks Ficlders who were
famed by Miss Schmidt in the first
inning were marked down by the
crowd as married I,cn ANONYMOUSLY
trying to make n hit by striking out.
When the girls trapped n runner be-
tween bases in the sixth the male por-
ton of the crowd cnvied the fellow
who had SO many women running
after him.
Take her out" was one cry, and
the grandstand scorers remarked Glee-
fully that there was NOW one out
and a woman on second"
The Bloomer Girls missed one OF
their best batters, Miss May Wines,
the Texas member Of the team, who
broke a leg sliding into a base at
Brentwood.

tened together with toothpicks. Little
mannlklns, Christmas trees, nonsense
OF all kinds, amused us both in the
construction and the receiving. A lit
tie foolish gumdrop man should GER
tainly be added to any going-away
box of goodies to cheer the recipient
with his vacuous Repression and his
limp demeanor.
Decorated cup cakes would make
nice lat little packages for Christmas
stocks. Covered with wax paper and
then gay wrappings they would be
most decorative too, on the Christmas
tree. Citron could be used to simulate
holly with small red candies for ber-
rles, to decorate the white frosting.
And of course, some where, some
way, there must be arranged a gen
erous supply of hard candies for
Christmas, besides the other favorites,
peppermint candies and striped canes.

Christmas she expressed admiration
for the handsome chocolate creams,
painstakingly manufactured by a
neighbours husband. When a man does
make candy he usually makes it well.
Then the chocolates were forgotten,
A fine large box was delivered to
the writer Christmas with an apology
all the candy boxes had been sent
away and only a shoe box remained,
How generous Of that neighbor!
Later in the day the box was open
ed and a great surprise was felt, that
50 many of the precious creams should
be spared to the writer. The lower
layer had been fixed with each one
carefully wrapped. The box was quite
heavy. When the lower ones were I'M

over it. But the chocolates were de-
