Scheduled Wedncndaji
By Jinx
In Houston they have
“hay fever" pollen in the air.
but in Ellinger there is the
“softball fever" in the air. The
large attendances of the past
have all indications that this
type of atmosphere is actually
prevailing in the Ellinger area,
and some of the area’s very
prominent prognosticators have
given the assurance that his
Wednesday's final scheduled
games will top all previous at-
tendances.
Wednesday's double bill has
much in store for the fans, as
the season is to come to the
climax and there is also much
uncertainty. Standings of the
teams give the fans a picture
that the Buccarene Bucs are well ’
in the lead to be certain of get-
ting into the so-called “play-
off", which begins the follow-
ing week — provided — that
the second place team will be
determined and only Wednes-
day's results will tell the tale.
At the present moment, of
boy.

Ellinger News
(B9 Mr*. D. A. Jktw)
course, there seems to be a cer-
tainty the Ellinger Cafe is head-
ed for the second place which
they’ hold at present, and there-
by have the opportunity to get
into the 3 out of five play-off
with the Bucs. However, they
realize that they must defeat the
Bucs in Wednesday'^dfair if
they intend to remain in the
second place undisputedly.
Should the Bucs defeat them,
they will fall into second place
in a deadlock tie with the Tor-
nadoes. who lost four and won
four and who have completed
their full schedule. On top of
all the tie-up business the To-
bias Truckhners are threatening
as they also could become a
member of the second place tie-
up if they should defeat their
rivals Wednesday and thus make
• the situation even more tied up
by throwing three clubs into the
second place mix-up. Just as we
try to explain the merry mix-
up it can be decided only after
Wednesday’s games are finish-
ed. Fans should realize that in
such cases there is bound to be
excitement and they should take
the opprotunity to be on hand
to see these most important
games of the season.
Play-offs begin next Wednes-
, day night. If a tie of any two
I or three teams becomes a rea-
I lity. the play-off for the second
place contender will begin on
: that day, and if there be no tie-
! up for second place, then the
finals will get under way on the
day.
Remember that you heard the
remark that “It can only happen
in Brooklyn". Whoever started
that false rumor should come
to Ellinger once and he’ll dis-
cover that it “always happens in
Ellinger!”
Results Last Wednesday: El-
linger Cafe 3, Allstars 0; and
Bucs 7, Tornadoes 4.
Wednesday, Sept. 26,
dule: Truckers play
1st games; and EUinger Cafe
play Bucs, second game.
