Scorer Abuses Jumps,
Fine Takes His Pay
BY the Associated Press

FORT. WORTH, July o.
J. Walter Morris. who made
news last year by fining a
chief of police, has come up
with another one for the
book.
The president of the East
Texas League yesterday fined
an official scorer for what he
said about the umpires over
a loud speaker.
my umpires reported that
the fellow said, 'There1l be
new umpires tomorrow night;
these buns won't be back.
The league owed him $3.50
for scoring so I fined him
$3.50 and that made us
even," Morris declared.
Morris last year fined the
chief of police at Temple for
allegedly showing an umpire.
The chief didn't pay it but
the ball club did.

changed everything. Roads are
all changed. 1t took all our good
farming land. We used to seine
hundreds of pounds of fish out
of the creek and it seems there
was more fish then than there
is now. We never took any but
the big ones and always throwed
the small ones back.
In a few years our bottoms
will be all a swamp. There will

How dear to my heart are
the scenes of my boyhood, when
fond recollections brings to my
mind the old swimming hole on
Willscreek. There were several
of the Bates boys who lived just
across the creek from our place.
Bob, Shird, Jim, Irvie, Bill,
Frank, Pete. Clyde, Ray and
Harley Only four of US, Sam,
John, Chuck and myself. Sherd,
Jim and Ray, of the Bates fam
lily have passed on and all of us
but myself.
Bob Bates was the oldest of
the Bates family Not the worst
but bad enough l well remem-
Der my first swim. | was about
10 and Bob was about II. There
was a rifle (shallow water) be-
low the deep hole and l was
wading around there when Bob
got behind me and caught me
and took me up in the deep
water and put me on my belly
and let loose and said Nov you
swim out or drown | swan to
the rifle and, of course, mad. |
got some stones and stoned him
out of the creek. Bob is now 81
and | am 80.
Bill he was bad too like my
self One of his cousins, Garfield
Kirkbrlde, was visiting at Bates
and came over to the creek with
the boys Poor boy. | expect he
| had on the best clothes he had
He wanted to go up to the store
and get some cigars but he
couldn't wade across. At that
time we had a canoe and Bill
told him we would take him
across in the canoe. So Bill told
me to get in front so / could
stop it and Garfield in the CEN
ter standing up. Bill told him he
mustn't move or it would upset.
Bill was to tilt the canoe to the
right then | to the left. So when
we got in the deepest place we
upset the canoe and turned Gar
field a somersault right on his
head. He said he might as we'll
walked across. Bill told him that
he said he must not move. Laid
it all on himself for moving.
| remember again we had a
flood on the creek and when it
went down it left a lot of mud
and slime on the bank. So we
made a slide from the top of the
bank to the water and was hav-
ing a great time. Big Harne
Lashley was with us that day
and he went out along the bank
to start a new slide. He sat down
on the bank, kicked his heels and
hollered. Yep! He struck a snag
or something about his tail bone
and ripped Il cash about eight
inches up his back. There was
