League Notes
{BY UNCLE HENRY

Dan .Commerford and the Local
YokeIs took three from the Out
Casts. Giving credit where 1t Is
DUE. Fitzgerald and Broderick
launched the sweeping attack that
continued throughout the eve. Cap
tain Garvey, Harry Simpson, Joe,
Chas. and Jack Kelly on, the OPP.
position met their first defeat or
the season. Previous to this the
Local Yokels hadn't won game.
France Fitzgerald, although he
isn't much to look at, has been
using the runners for. shute the
shute. IL this practice continues,
Captain Coughlin of the Vagabonds
threatens to puck Fitzgerald right
smack In the puss. Enough said.
Tom Fftzmaurice, the best
ed man in this city, and de-
Seemingly so, looked very natty in
his sports outfit. Tom, assisted
CAPTAIN Mitchell and. Commission
er Phelan in the Has Beens light
ming victory over the Vagabonds.
incidentally j. Arthur Farren
knocked off a mere % in one
string that helped a little and Joe
Coughlin made a louder noise than
usual. sri %r +&tA e4st
Jack German, former Amateur
League favorite, knows quite q lot
about other things than baseball.
Jack has the knack of hitting that
head pin down to such perfect1on
that he surprised even his prother
in law Jimmy Flanagan. Jimmy
10 4 hi a after
hitting in three figures during the
first round his head swelled
little.
We've never seen Bud Kennedy
so weak before. He didn't do
much shouting either. Like all
good Kennedys he brought along
his own private cheering section
and next week Capt. Harry Ryan
will use the said section which
consists Of little frankie Jr in
place of frankie Sr. We don't
doubt that this change will help
the Apple Knockers.
Pat Wallace and Patty Stack,
local songsters, were trying to
convince Eddie Keenan, that blood
is thicker than water when George
"Pick" Casey and Lee Morton
tried to figure out what is thicker
than Eddie. To top this off Slim
Griffin threatened to do a. buck
and wing dance. Is 1t any wonder
then that Cy Kane laughed until
he broke six buttons Off his Shirt.
In the Hi-Jackers victory over
the Apple Knockers, Al Herbert
knocked off high single and high
three. Mary Smith and John Phe-
Ian rolled a fine match. JACK
Dunphy directed the game and
Jimmy Flanagan who don't need
any directions as an anchor man,
went into first place. They will
hold this position until the To-
cal Yokels take it away from them
next week.
President Bill Dwyer didn't do
anything worth while so we won't
mention him. Joe Dunphy and
Capt. Harry Ryan accompanied by
Jack German took their defeat like
the men that they are and offered
no excuses. They had nothing but
praise for the Hi-Jackers. This
should call for that aged phrase
victorious in Defeat" Such
sportsmanship shows these Apple
Knockers the way to our cham
pionship. Good luck boys!
The Vagabonds under Capt.
Francis Coughlin, dropped three to
the Mitchell Has Beens. Francis
Law Jr bowled his usual terrible
game and Mitchell had him grab
bling gas for a while. Joe Dunn
and Keller, newcomers to the line
up Of the Vagabonds tried hard
but to no avail. Now we don't
like. to accuse Jimmy Caffery of
throwing the game but happen to
know that he was bribed. Wish
SOMEBODY would pay me to let go
sometime.
Is
The rumors about Hinky Davey
Mitchell are true and she Is a
decided blonde. She decided a
couple Of months ago. Congrat-
ulations Mitchell and say when you
return remember the depression
and cut your team 10 per cent. We
can't see any reason for paying
I them such an enormous salary
anyhow. OF course they have
been winning. But how? .@}
