Horse Play
BY SWATTER

Sundays baseball game revealed
that pitfalls await the unwary ball
player in Arizona which the ordi-
nary follower of the game is quite
in ignorance of The fact that the
happening occurred to a Bisbee
Miner" rather than to a Tank
eating Tiger" is proof that the
field was not mined; but we give
you the story to warn you to be-
ware of foreign fields wherever
you go.
A Tiger at bat lofted a long
fly over the Bisbee outfield. The
BiSbee fielder sighted the ball and
raced, like an MILO out of camou-
flage, to try to catch it. Back, back,
back he went, at "supermannish''
pace, seeing nothing but the ball
coming over his head
The batter paused at second, the
better to watch the inevitable
Grassland the crash occurred. The
fleet fielder had run headlong into
a browsing mule.
The impact of the crash did not
knock the fielder out, but when
he recovered from the stunning
shock and saw what he had hit,
he tainted dead away. r
827th's slugger complains that he
could have made homer On that
hit if he had not dallied along the
base path to see who would kick
each other first-the Bisbeeite or
the mule.
