SOME BASEBALL GAME
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
While it probably could not be
classed as the best or the fastest
baseball game of the season, still
we believe it was the most interest-
ing, when on Tuesday afternoon the
Fats and the Leans, both teams
composed of local business and pro-
fessional men, crossed bats on the
local diamond and the leans came
out victorious by a score of 12 to 6
. Batteries for the leans were Ken-
nedy and Defibaugh, while the fats
tried out practically every man on
the team before the contest ended,
Albert Ragle and Shirley White
doing the catching. Being one of
the leans, it is natural that we
might be a little bit prejudiced in
our opinions, but according to our
way of thinking we had ’em out-
classed all the time, and they didn’t
have a chance.
Faetures of the game were too
numerous to mention, but we think
Jack Marcell deserves special men-
tion as the star on the fats, and the
honors for the leans should (in our
oupinion) be equally divided be-
tween Rhea Anderson and the
writer. Of course our pitcher de-
serves a little credit, but then we
figure we could have beaten them
without any pitcher, as they simply
couldn’t put ’em by our fast in-
field.
The players at present trying
to recover from this strenuous
afternoon’s exercise were as noted
below. We cannot give their posi-
tions, as they changed around so
much that it would take entirely
too much space:
Fats
Albert Ragle
M. S. Patterson
*S. J. Marcell***
Shirley White
A. T. Gray
M. P. McCracken
E. A. Lyle
Big Boy Crawford
Wilbur Hunt
Leans
W. H. Kennedy
Slim Sutherland
Ben Hunt
Wesley Defibaugh
Henry Heinie Harris
* Rhea Anderson*
Joe Head
Lester Cook
*R. Shuffler*
It was SOME ball game folks,
and aside from the fact that the
umpires were all crooked and the
fats all the time trying to start a
fight, it was a peaceable and enjoy-
able affair. The leans are threat-
ening to challenge the local first
team if they ever recover from
Tuesdays debauch.

Motor overhauling a specialty.

“I am always glad to recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Some time
ago my back and kidneys got in
pretty bad shape, caused by a cold
settling in my kidneys. My back
was sore and lame across the small
part and I could hardly do my work
Whenever I stooped over, such
pains would catch me in the small
of my back I thought it would
break. Sometimes I would get so
dizzy and weak I would have to sit
down to rest, I tried all kinds of
kidney remedies but found no re-
lief until I bought Doan’s Kidney
Pills. I used a few boxes of Dqan’s
and they cured me of this attack. I
use Doan’s off and on now as a kid-
ney regulator.”

We were unavoidably forced to
leave about five columns of reading
matter out of the paper this week,
and among the articles left out was
an interesting report of the recent
Missionary Meeting in Hillsboro,
written for us by Mrs. Burton. In
these days of high priced paper we
have to cut down the size of our
issues, but we hope to publish this
article next week, as well as the1
other matter of interest which was j
crowded out this time.

We are authorized to announce

During his tenure in office Mr.
Jones has made us a faithful and
efficient officer, and -he has the
good will of the whole people of the
Thirtieth Judicial District for the
fearless and impartial manner in
which he has discharged the duties
of the office.
So far as we know he has no op-
ponent for re-election, and will
have none. We®'think the County
and for that matter the entire dis-
trict, can do no better than to re-
turn to office Fletcher Jones, for
he has proven himself courteous,
efficient and alert for the best in-
terests of the people of his District.
The Entercrise commends him to
your consideration.
There is to be a fast baseball

served as Tag Day for the same
purpose.
Mrs. F. F. Smith, living near
Newport school, was seriously hurt
Tuesday evening in an automoblie

place rather hurriedly and threw
her against the top, cutting her eye
and bruising the side of her face
badly.
