A I5-inning contest that went on
and on until after midnight marked
Readrite softballers' first victory in
Inter-city league play last Friday
night as the Bluffton crew walloped
DeGraff, II to 9, at that place.
1t was a weird contest in every
respect, climaxed in the 18th in
ing when Readrite batsmen broke an
s to s tie with a nine-run sally.
After trailing through the early
part of the contest, the Bluffton
team rallied in the seventh inning to
score four runs and knot the count
at Tall. DeGraff failed to tally in
its half of the same stanza, and both
crews went scoreless in the eighth
and ninth to leave the count knot
ted at the close of the regulation
route.
Five innings of scoreless ball had
been played until the thirteenth when
Bluffton put on one-run attack that
DeGraff matched in the last half of
the inning to continue the deadlock.
Both crews were checkmated again
in the fourteenth but Buttons lat
ent batting power broke loose in the
fifteenth and by the time the side
was retired nine runners had scam
pered across the plate to score.

Flooding Mule
Holds Own in
Machine Age
Value in Modern Warfare
Shown During Italy's
Ethiopian Conquest.

Prepared BY NatiOnal Gsographic pgr Society.
Is the mule going to the dogs?
The answer is no. even IN the
machine age.
Both in numbers and in the no
less tangible evidence Of human ap-
probation, the mule is holding its
own. One proof is found in new
statue in one of the chief parks of
Rome-a minor result of the Italian
conquest of Ethiopia. Erected in
1887, this monument is dedicated to
the mule in honor both of its work
with the Italian forces at the Alpine
front in the World war, and for its
later service in the parched and
sun-scorched hills and valleys of
Ethiopia.
Like millions of men in the world
today, Rome's mule hero-slightly
bigger than life-also carries arms.
The 65-millimeter mountain artil-
lery piece which it bears on its
back is symbol of the mules USE
fulness in war. For its strength, en-
durance, and sure-footedness are
proverbial in the hard work Of trans
porting supplies and ammunition un-
der the most difficult conditions.
The Civil war, says one United
States general, pointing out the I'm
ion army's use of the animal to
haul wagons over rough roads, could
not have been carried to a conclu-
sion without the faithful army mule.
In the South African Boer war,
the British forces made good use
OF the mules special qualities, when
horses were unable to stand up un'
der the strain. Dependable under
fire, the mule did heavy duty for the
Allies during the World war, pack
ing artillery and supplies all the
way to the front. In the noun
tains, these beasts often acted al
portable hospitals, carrying such
necessities as surgical dressings
