SPOTLIGHT
By “Nosey”
If you want an example of
loyal rooting you want to look
into the gallery over first base
where an excited person is fran_
tically calling for certain playere
to “hit it”, when they come to
hat. It’s a kick to watch the root
ing all over the hall, for that
matter. Maybe some of the men
players will have a chance to re
turn the compliment when the
married women play their first
exhibition game. With horns of
all descriptions blowing off (and
some tooting their own horn) at
the games the other evening, its
a wonder the ordinary rooter had
a chance to be heard.
These baseball games are get.
ting profitable. Learned from
some sources today that a mana. I
ger of one of the four teams put j
in an order for a ease of beer
to be delivered to one of the
winning teams Wednesday night.
Wonder who it could be. There’s
a lot of beer drinkers on the
i Commercial team but it’s a cinch
they didn't win Wednesday night
—neither game nor beer.
—
I heard today that some people
were really anxious to get good
seats at Wednesday’s games. Fred
and Mary, Lyle and Mable, and
jNona were on hand so early the
| other night to be sure they could
get in the front row, that “the
honeyman"—“A friend in need
I is a friend indeed" had to un
■ lock the doors to let them into
the big gymnasium.
A1 Arrowwood, believed by
many to be Nosey, always picks
I out the prize seat in the hall, sit
uated in the balcony at the mid.
die of the West end. Wednesday
night he was late in arriving to
see the games. A little birdie
told me he was still lucky en_
ough to get his regular seat. May
be he sees all them slick plays
from that vantage point.
I took the privilege of making
an appointment with local opti
cian Harry Hagen for a new 6et
of ‘cheaters” for umpire Lewis,
after watching his performance
the other night; and also sent a
collect wire to Father Sears for
a new rule book for umpire
Boyd—maybe that'll help them
give the teams an even break
when they mix again next week
—they certainly need a little as.
sistance after their “excellent” i
exhibition Wednesday.
King of outdoor baseball Jud.
ge Keneshaw Landis was wired
to this week regarding a lot of
possible plays which might be
pulled in a game. I understand
we have plenty of outdoor ball
p.avers on the indoor teams—
and most of them think they're
still playing outdoor by the way ■
they complain to the umpires
about plays which come off dur
ing a game.
All I could hear at the games the
other night was “well we made
Nosey out to be half a liar”.’

Chose Grubstake
Place of Teeth
(By The Associated Press)
OHBLAiN, Wn, Jan. 22, —
When it came to a choice between
new store teeth and a grubstake
of beans, bacon, flour and coffee.
Fleming, took the latter with
only fifty dollars and twenty one
cents remaining of the $200 Town
send money, with the possibility
that the next two hundred might
not be forthcoming until February
15th.
He decided to forego getting
new teeth, as he had managed
without them for years, he said.
