| You will note that none of these
nominees have been playing any
baseball, which is just the point
of this selection. They're so out of
practice they're just bound to i'm
prove. And you ask any manager:
If there's anything he likes it's an
improving club.
THE TEAM
Jack McFate, P.
DR.. Morgan, C.
w. Flashman, /. B.
Tom Olcott, ST., End B.
J. J. Gerondale, S. s.
John Sanderson, 3rd B.
E. P. Conwell, R. F..
Harley Weydt, C. F.
John E. Powers, l.. F.
If you are a bit skeptical about
this Lineup, we ask you to hold back
on your criticism until we sweetly
pour into your ear our reasons for
the selection. Not only that, but we
challenge Dry Head to a game.
Our naming of McFate for pit
cher comes naturally when we con-
slider his huge vote in the primar-
les. With all that support he must
have something on the ball. If the
opposing batter should happen to
land on one, McFate can arrest him
for interfering with due process
of law. He's good man in a pinch.
DR.. Morgan is the ideal catcher.
He catches everything that comes
his way and comes back for more.
Modest, unassuming, the perfect
receiver, Doc can befuddle the bat
ter with a lengthy treatise on the
treatment of asthma and remov-
al of bunions.
We will place Flashman at first
base with a camera. Just as the
runner gets near the base he will
yell pose. If we know our ath-
Ietes, the runner will pose. This will
give the locals ample time to get
the ball to first base for the put
out. We like an improving team
and Flash's Photographic exper-
fence stamps him as a man who
will develop.
IF A RUNNER SHOULD HAP
PEN TO GET PAST FIRST, HE
WILL MEET A TARTAR IN TOM
OLCOTT AT SECOND. TOM
WILL GET THE RUNNER so IN
TERESTED IN DRIVING ONE
OF HIS CARS INSTEAD OF
RUNNING THAT THE POOR
FELLOW WILL BE AN EASY
OUT.
Gerondale is the ideal man for
the difficult shortstop position. He
is the creamery of the crop. Just
give Joe a Donkey and sack of
oats and nothing will get past him.
Occasionally there is a runner
so intent on his game that he will
get past second base, even though.
That's where Sanderson comes in
at third base, The Judge gets a
signal from ConweH and gives the
runner thirty days to cool his
heels. Thirty days should be enough
to get the other batters out.
COnwells OratOrical leanings will
save many a game. From his rOs-
trum at right field, E. P, can sway
the runner with a touching speech.
AS the runner or batter sways,
will pick him up for being
drunk.
The choice of Harley Weydt is a
sinister one, and one which spells
curtain for the opposition. His
choice, however, is contingent on
his raising a beautiful crop of
whiskers like he had for the rodeo.
If the game goes bad for the loc-
ais, Harley merely raises his head
in center field and the contest will
be called on account of darkness.
He lifts his head just a little and
he will keep the sun out of the
other fielders' eyes-in fact out of
everyone's eyes.
-
John Powers is the boy to play
left field. John has left his field
many time to campaign for cleo
tion, and he has done a good job of
it. Then, too, there will be no fun
ny stuff going on with John out
there. John is a rancher, and he
can tell when a ball goes fowl.
AMBITION
The ambition of every modern
little boy in long trousers is to grow
