Doings In Kelly Cafeteria

The rate for female bakers under

six weeks.
When the Kelly Co. makes up
Its payroll, Mrs. Boyer appears as
a common laborer at SOC an hour.
It all depends on the way you
look at it, doesn't it?
The cafeteria workers eat after
the regular service is over, paying
full prices for their food.
However instead of getting the
fresh food being prepared for the
incoming service, they are served
the left-overs from the outgroing
service. Some of the food that has
been on the steam tables a couple
of hours is so old by the time they
get to it that what they don't eat
is thrown away.
The union members are raising
the question, how come they pay

Only two Of the players ever
reached Grade A organized
baseball, although all four could
have made almost any minor
league club.
The team consisted Of Tom Pad

could set down as many as IS
players on strikes; Babe Ruth,
catcher, and sometimes clown
pitcher at that time; IKE" Rusie,
said to have been related to the
famous Amos Rusie, of years ago,
was infielder; and Norbert LAM

triple-threat men. They could hit
hard, were exceptionally fast, and
were excellent fielders. Padgett at
the peak Of his playing days could
easily set as many as eighteen
players down on strikes. When 1t
is realized that each of these men,
bers Of the Schools Murderers'
Row would walk to the plate twice
as often as the opposition, It can
be seen why the team was not
easily Outclassed.
On most infield plays, the pitcher
covered the base needing protec-
ton. Babe and Padgett generally
accounted for runs batted in.
To see one Of these games was
truly a revelation, but to be man

The group or youngsters picked
for mention in this issue as All
Americans, are Narrows Park Soft
ballers, four years members of
County Softball League. These
boys, now serving the nation in
armed forces, are truly representa-
tive of the youth of Allegany
County.
The Narrows Park outfit, never
a pennant contender, but always
playing for sports sake, had a
group of players whose ages rang
ed from 16 to 20 years. True there
were two or three older hands to
act as advisers or coaches.
The boys are now scattered far
and wide.
Manager Clyde Miller, strictly a
bench manager, owing to disability
saws Il would take him the best
part of two seasons to round up
the boys, but he is satisfied that
the Narrows Parkers will be on
the pennant winners when this
flag chase is over, and Old Glory
will fly in Berlin, Rome and Tokyo.
Hats off and Honorable Men,
ton to Narrows Parks favorite
sons, all. Here they are:
Edward Logsdon, Lynwoo
Hartsock, Dan Mattingly, Henry
Horn, Kenneth Troutman, Chest
er Moody, Robert Horn, Homer
Hall.
The Parkers never had more
than IL players, SO this shows
half now playing for the All
Americans.
