GOOFS BLEW UP j
IN THE SIXTH,
BUT WIN GAME
_
INDOOR BASEBALL GAME LAST
NIGHT MOST FEROCIOUS
OF THE SEASON
WILL PLAY OFF THIRD GAME
Honors Now Even—Large Crowd of
Spectators Cheer Goof’s Efforts
and Help Win Game
Talk about gameness—the lowly
Goofs in the indoor baseball game
staged at the gym last night demon
strated that they had plenty of it.
Where it came from no one knew, but
several things were certain: when
the bats of the Goofs started to clat
ter in the closing innings of the me
lee the galleries rocked with ap
plause, the umpire grew nervous, the
chief of police moved to a commanding
position in the hall, ready to suppress
a~uy onslaught save that about to be
launched "by the Goofs, and the Scrubs
sensed disaster. ,
Elongated Tom Dyer leaned out of
the pitcher’s box and for seven in
nings he toyed with the Goofsmen,
feeding them fancy twisters, up-shoots
and dizzy slants and laughed at their
vain endeavors to land a few scattered
hits, while his own mates piled up
what appeared to be a mountainous
run of six leads off Slender Snyder,
happy rampant of the jubilant Goofs,
the Goof hurler, who is no dwarf him
self.
City Councilman Joe Hoffman con
sented to umpire, and thereby hangs
a tale; one that Joe, provided he does
not umpire any more ball games may
live to relate to his grandchildren. Joe
called ’em as he saw ’em, but to use
the words of the 14 contestants “He
didn’t recognize what he saw and ac
cepted prompts or was governed by
threats while at other times he decided
plays that he witnessed by the back
of his neck.
For four innings the game presented
as pretty a pitcher’s battle as anyone
would want to see. But in the fifth
inning the Scrubs i^nbuckled some
heavy artillery which changed the
looks of the scoreboard. Tom Dyer
started off with a single to left, Mc
Laughlin fielder Tinkler’s hit, holding
the runners on first and second. A
double steal, followed by Pop-Eyed
Bailey’s screeching double drive brot
iff the first two runs of the game. The
fleet-footed first baseman of the
scrubs after swiping second, made
home for the third run on Doc Rob
ert’s hit to right field, Roberts taking
second on the throw in. Blue fanned,
after which Starr’s out at first advanc
ed Doc to third from where he scored
when Dyer on his second trip to the
plate during the frightful fifth crash
ed the balcony rail for two bases. The
attack was finally subdued when Mc
Laughlin captured Tinkler’s fly in
deep right. Joe Hofman witnessed
the catch and ruled the batter out.
Four runs had counted and the way
the hurlers had been going up to this
stage, that four looked mighty big.
The Goofs could do nothing in the
way of retaliation in the sixth, tho
they got two men on with only one out.
A similar fruitless effort occurred in
he seventh when after one down
Snyder cut a single past third and
rlopkins worked the ump for the only
jass in the game. A double steal was
successfully executed and it looked as
ho a couple of much-needed tallies
vould be scored, but Roberts convert
3d Jesson’s liner into an unassisted
louhle play retiring the Goofs. Tink
ler. Bailey and Roberts put a runner
across in each of the sixth and sev
3nth innings, swelling the Scrubmen’s
lead to six counts. But, lo! the 8th.
It was McLaughlin’s bludgeon that
started the torture for Dyer and the
Bailey had again put two Goofs away
by pulling another sensational double
play, this time racing across the dia
mond to tag a runner beating it back
to third. Mac hit the first ball for
two bases. Snyder, following Mac’s
cue, pasted one just out of Robert’s
reach, and halted at third as McLaugh
lin pulled up at third. Hopkins let one
go by, for a strike, at which oppor
tunity Snyder pilfered second. Dyer j
shoved another past Hop but the Goof J
backstop caught the next one on the
nose for two bases, scoring McLaugli- j
lin and Snyder and crossed the pan J
for the third run on Jesson’s single |
over second. Paul’s pop to Roberts j
ended the rally.
Snyder, pitching airtight ball now, j
composed himself to hold the Scrubs i
scoreless for the rest of the night. Go- !
ing into the ninth three runs in the
rear, the unbeaten Goofs sallied forth
on staunch legs. Manthey got on sec
ond and McLaughlin tallied him with i
a ringing double. Snyder sent Mac
over the pan with the fifth run and
reached third base as the Scrubs
tossed the pill around the diamond,
then galloped over the home plate
with the run that tied the score, on
Hoppe’s grounder through the box.
The Goofs went wild! Dyer fanned
Jesson and Paulsteiner, and Manthey
went out via Roberts to Bailey. In
their half of the ninth the Scrubs were
retired in order by some nifty field
ing on the parts of the Goofs. The
first half of the tenth was a near riot.
Hopkins opened with a drive into the
gallery good for two bases. Jessen
responded with a hit that decided the
game, a bounder past first base on
which the runner on second slid home
for the Goofs’ seventh and winning
tally. Hofman yelled “Out,” and a
murderous shriek went, up from the
Goofs who rushed en .passe to the
center of the diamond.- As a mesure
of self-protection Joe with trembling
voice shouted, "Safei jSafe!” “Kill
him,” cried the Scrub gang, and bats
and fists flourished as they encirled
poor Joe, who ran behind the chief of _
police, wringing his hands in frenzied
fashion.
Each team has won one game and
the rubber will be played off Tues
day night to decide the preliminary
championship.

sought manumission from their mar

he invited them to witness the mo

viewing the film, fifteen of the
couples withdrew their pleas and
made up. Those wiho don’t want to

A rum-running automobile had an
accident near Gadsden, Ala., and
when a truck load of Christian En
deavorers appeared on the scene the
owner seized his license plate and
made his wet-away. Four other men
begged for the stuff, declaring that
“there was no use to let it go to
town where the officers wrould drink
it up.” The Endeavorers -were ob
durate to this plausible argument and
held the fort until the sheriff arriv
ed. Some folks are inconsideraate
like that.
