"The players refused to ride
in the hack with Joe. They
said he was sacrilegiOuS and
that no good luck would come
of talking about the elements
in such manner. So the
driver took the harness off the
stricken horse, piled it in the
hack and drove CantilIion back
to the hotel.
do you remember the day 1
got that off you with the bases
lOaded?" Sharpe asked.
"YOu hit a wild PITCH" said
Nick, waving the matter aside.
II hit one right down the
middle" commended Sharpe.
24O-YARD DRIVE
"That's just what 1 say" was
Nick's answer. "Any time 1
gave anyone a good ball with
the bases loaded, it was a wild
pitch. Good pitchers don't give
hitters good balls in the pinch"
I'D like to be hitting that
lively ball." said old Peck as he
tied into a tee shot and sent it
24O yards down the fairway.
Funny thing about that ball."
said AltrOck. II think they're
changing it gradually. Some of
the balls are lively, but some of
them don't have the carry. I
think in year or two at the
outside, maybe right after Ruth
has retired, they'll put back the
ball that was in use back in
1912. 1t took a good hitter to
get a home run in those days."
We reached the eighteenth
green all too soon. Sharpe shook
hands with Nick for the year.
Don't forget to ask Griffith
if Ole Peck hit three-baggers
against him when he was with
San Francisco, and / was with
the Oakland club" said Peck.

Joe Cantillion, and old timers il
Washington will tell you of tn
days when Joe managed thu
Griffs in the early days of tn
American League.
II played against Clark Crit
fifth in the Coast League" said
Peck. "And let me tell you, 1
had him tying his shoe laces
plenty out there. When Grit
fifth felt himself slipping in a
game, or when a tough hitter
came up he would stop and tie
his shoes. He would wait and
fuss out there and would have
a lot of sluggerS all frightened
up by the time he came back
to pitch. 1 used to laugh at
Griff and had a lot of luck.
"HOw did you hit against Nick
when you were in the same
league" 1 asked.
HIT RIGHT HANDED
Fright handed and not very
far" Said AltrOck.
Mr.. Sharpe was plainly embar-
raised.

ent in my conversations on old
time baseball" MIR, Sharpe said
with dignity.
mo, you can talk freer when
they're not around" was Alt
rocks rejoinder, and he seemed
to have all the better of the
round.
"Member that Joe Cantil-
lion?" laughed Sharpe. "NOw,
there was a rough-hewn char
acter. He Iashed his players
night and day, but it never did
him much good with Washing
ton.
"They tell a story about Can
tiIlion out in st. Louis. The
Washington club had piled up
a good lead and then proceeded
to go to pieces. The game was
called in the seventh inning on
account of a terrific storm. In
those days the players rode in
hacks to the grounds, and the
carriages waited until the game
was over.
"When the game was called
off the players ran for the
hacks. Just as they we're seated
a lightning bolt killed a horse.
"'Fine control that lightnin'
has, snOrted CantiIliOn. Just
like my pitchers. Here are four
dumb ball players in one hack,
and the lighting has to kill a
poor dumb horse.

The game was one of those seesaW things. The
Sox were ahead in the first inning on homer
by Simmons. Then the Griffs tied, and the home
talent went two ahead. Stones double tied the
score. A double play in the last half OF the sixth

BELFRY
BY Clair Andrew


Semester exams were given to
the students of Belfry high school
last Thursday and Friday. In
most subjects the Kansas stand
ard tests were given. Forty min
utes were allowed for each test.
Students then took their six
weeks test. Each student worked
very accurately.
iBelfry high school is adding two
new subjects to the regular line of
courses the next semester. Hy-
giene and the care of the sick will
be taught by Miss Provinse; sew
ing will be offered by Miss Eyre.
Mrs. E. Wink is now taking her
turn preparing the hot lunches for
the country children of Belfry
school. No one is asked to do this;
it is entirely voluntary work,
Those who have already served q
two-week term are Mrs. C. A
Andrew, Mrs. ]. r. Walker and
the present Mrs. Wink. Belfry
school extends its appreciation for
the work of these ladies.
A group Of CWA women from
Red Lodge is now working in Bel
fry school repairing books, which
saves the school considerable ex-
pense for new books. They are
repairing about 300 books out OF
the total number of 300. Most OF
the books would have to be dis
carded in the near future.
A request has been put in the
hands Of the county commission

ers to approve CWA projects
which would give work to five
men here in repairing the old
school building. This work would
include painting the building, re-
pairing the side walks, repairing
the floors, putting in new electric
light fixtures, painting the grand
stand and other works around the
school.
