When the urnp calls S T R I K E4 one half the pepple will yell damrnitt and the other half Hurrah. He then yells "Ball" and right away opinion is reversed. We have on our side two pitchers, Brian Rntledge and. Lou Ebel. The umpire tells me Louie's pitch comes high and outside, then -rOns and veers right over the plate sometimes left. sometimes right. All I have to say is a Man with such a crooked ball can't be too straight himself. As for Brian, T have a suggestion, No pitcher can keep one eye on the batter, one eye on the bases and on on the girl friend. I would seat that little girl of his directly behind home plate then he could throw Pury es at curves. Ernie Beirnes is a good catcher, tee bad he has to go and bat. When he does, a good many sneak down town for a seer. They figure from 9 to 16 foul balls. Freddy Stephenson at first, a good batter, sometimes he Can knock them half way to Ajax What chance does he and young Iluether have, work like slave $ all day. Sometime I'm going to tell that george 13aelcer that slavery is over. Chain gangs are finished, and his double Simon, Legree is dead. Otie thing f do, not understand IS why do our players all run in on a fly ball and then let it drop among them. A new rule t suppose. That young lad of Mafy and Jack Lowe puts en a good act and pound for pound young Machin is tops. tfe can run almost half as fast as I could when I played hard ball with the old 'Dingle Deivls. Later we were called the Ainleyville AngelS and as the town changed names,. the Brussels Clippers. fri`ihoge days we weren't sissies. We didn't wear cushions on our left hands:" There was no such thinn• a standard bat. My bat was made out of green rock Olin. 4 ft. lone' -and 4 inches across.. 'chat' bat made history the time we played and :whipped the American All Stars.' never forget 'how the crowd laughed when I stepped lip to play. The Yankee pitcher had developed quite a throW. The'ball left his hand fast. and then. slowed. up. It stopped completely two feet from the plate, and hacked, up in reverse sik feet. It then dropped to the correct bight and sizzled across for a strike. I had been watching and so had it all figured out as I Stepped up to bat, Score rabble — notlingi. 'teat half of ninth, our in. Crowd was bugging ire (we called it razzing in those days) because I was a country lad. Sonic were jealous of the niagrilfientIt gOt.

Crowd yelling, Hiek, Timothy Hay, Pumpkin Head, etc. I just curled my muslocibo and missed the first, but I was watching. Strike one was the cry, play ball. Well, I started to use my hat as a baton, Spin- ning it round faster and faster. a good act but the limp hollered strike and that was two. Well the crowd threw a lot of insults but they weren't as had as the eggs and rocks, apples and pumpkins. Time had to be called so I Went right over to them Yankee seats and sang the Maple Leaf forever Some of the Brussels boys, Pete Scott, Cap, Stretton, George limiter, Said to, me, "can you do it, We can get 10 to 1 Odds". I said paWn your boots, sell your race horses, its in the hag. Well when the pitcher wound up so did T. Just Like an electric top T. went and when that ball stopped to go into reverse I connected. There was a terrible hissing sound, a, terrific bang and elm slivers all over the dianiOnn. The ball, travelling at such a tremendous speed took fire and soared out of the park like TIaley's Comet. It event over the Green's pump bOuse, over the feather house, Nightingales store end then unfortunately hit the oak girder on the wooden bridge.. IL moved one side of that bridge 3 feet off the stone abutment. Then ricocheted and went straight up, and up. When it came back much later, it hit right in the centre of the river. This caused. the tidal wave that took out, Sunshine dam and Bodmin bridge Paul Bunyan came along in a couple of days on his way to the lumber camps in Michigan and.. I got him to hitch the blue ox the one side of the bridge and he fixed it good as ever. The Sun- shine darn was never rebuilt. Well, instead of fame and. :fortune I got bad publicity. The Yankees wouldn't tell we beat them, our side were sore on, account of having to build new bridg,,es and our team were jealous, In fact, that night a mob broke into the whiskey house and: started looking for me. I had to hide at my boarding 'or rooms house. However, Mrs. Mary Mc- Kenzie was a wonderful hostess. Next clay my girl friend coaxed me to cut off my hair, whiskers and all, Just another Sampson and, Delilah case When. did I lost all my super strength and quit base- ball, as from them Sometimes I think if I had hit that ball a wee bit harder it would have been the first man made orbit.
