On Main Street

Maybe because it's August and
too hot for anything else-maybe
because things are winding up or
maybe we just imagine it, but it
seems like the focus of attention in
the next few weeks will be on
sports. 5000, let's talk about it..
First, something to get off our
chest-we've pulled lot of boners
in the past year, such as having
Bobs baby born in the Lion Inn
and getting the Wayside Inn all
mixed up with the new theatre.
But last week we reached the ulti-
mate. People excitedly calling
Thursday morning and threatening
by Thursday night. Imagine it
yourself: Telephone rings. We an
swer. Voice says, "Who is dis 2"
We tell them. yeah? Never hold
of va. Do va write the softball
news A timid "Yes". "Ya bum,
I'm an Eagles fan meself. Who do
va tink yer tryin ia kid. I know
dem Wilson buns amt tie for foist
place." All week it's been that way.
Only compensation was the thanks
from Wilson rooters, who appreci-
ated the plug. So, with great hui
mility we apologize to the League,
the sponsors, captains, managers,
players, and oh, yes, the fans, for
fouling up the works. Wilson is
not in first place or tied for first
place but they're in second and
threatening.
Ball players have a reputation
for picking up odd nicknames. Re-
member "The Big Train, "Dizzy" ,
half a dozen Babes, Harry the
Cat" and Harry The Hat? But
now, we introduce to you, Rabbit
Robert, softball pitcher deluxe
with windmill windup. AS the
catcher crouches yelling, Fright to
me, Rabbit Robert, babe, or what
ever catchers yell, Chestertown's
Rabbit Robert looks disgustedly at
the Smyrna batter and says, "Har-
ry up and get in the box, before I
lose my control.
Bernie Grier stopped the other
day to tell us about the opening of
the Woodland Beach Coliseum.
When asked why they had called it
the "Coll-yu-sum", he speculated,
IT told Uncle Howard he shouldn't
call it that. Most people can't
even pronounce it." Anyway, no
matter what you call it, from what
we've heard about town, big doings
are expected out there come Satur-
day night.

Eagles Hold Lead

Wednesday finds the Eagles still
holding on to the lead, despite the
efforts of two teams to stop them.
Bailey, Friday night, lost to them
and the Legion was defeated Tues
day night, giving the Eagles rec
ord of IL and 8. The State Police
Monday forfeited their scheduled
game with Wilson's because they
couldn't get enough players to-
gether and the Legion-Wilson game
Thursday night was postponed for
the same reason. A forfeit by the
Legion on the latter is still pend
ing.
Smyrna times., 1947-08-07


AS a follow-up to a series of
four games, played last year be-
tween Smyrna and Chestertown,
twelve local players travelled to
Chestertown Sunday night to play
under the lights. Smyrna took the
game 14-11, giving them a total of
3 wins and losses for the two
seasons. Smyrna collected eleven
runs in the first three innings to
Chestertown's one. The 10-run
lead was lost, however, when the
opponents got one in the fourth
and eight in the fifth. Three more
runs in the last inning clinched the
game.
