THE BLANCO TRIP
On Friday morning, May 7, nine
Scrubs left for Blanco in Joe’s truck,
to play a game with the Blanco Town
Team. Most of the Scrubs admitted
that the scenery was the best that
they had ever seen. Ross Arnold
liked the scenery at the picnic
grounds better than he did on the
Devil’s Backbone.
After Captain Kellam made the
rounds and kissed all of his cousins,
while the rest of us were wishing
that our name was Claude, we went
down to the picnic grounds. A
call was made for dinner, but not
until after the Scrubs had been ad-
vised not to eat too much. We all
enjoyed the chicken, dressing, sand-
wiches, ice tea, lemonade, cake and
pie, the latter two being forbidden
fruit. One of the Blanco girls, how-
ever, gave us a cake and four pies
to eat on the road home.
We then “suited up and went to
the ball park. The game which was
a good one was witnessed by about
700 people. It took Blanco eleven
innings to prove their superiority
over the Scrubs. The final score was
3 to 2, and everybody was pleased
with the game.
We left Blanco about five o’clock,
and had come about seven miles
when the “Fordomobile” refused to
go farther. It was raining “likeell”
and as we couldn’t fix the truck, we
decided to hotfoot'it. We thought
we were near a school house, but
found out that we were mistaken,
We came to a farm house near the
Little Blanco River, and asked the
“proprietor” where the nearest school
was. He told us that we couldn’t
get in there, but that he would take
us in. We were all as wet as drown-
ed rats, but soon were dry as he
gave us dry clothes and showed us
four good beds. That was all that
was needed, and soon we were all
asleep. He woke us about six o’clock
and said that ham and eggs were
ready. We didn’t need much coaxing
to get to the table. Just ask “Hog”
Pickens whether or not he likes “hen
fruit.” After the mechanical mtnd
of “Beauty” Arnold, as he was called
in Blanco, had figured out a way to
fix the truck, we went back to Blanco.
As we were going up the river hill
into Blanco, the Blanco team and
coach came running down the hill
calling, “Let’s play this evening.”
As the truck couldn’t be fixed right
away, we decided to play another
game. We then went to the home
of some of the Captain’s kinsmen,
and proceeded to get outside of about
one-half a tub of fish which were
picked up on the banks of the river
after it had gone down.
After Hatfield and Ivey came PacK
from the barber-shop, we got ready
and went to the field, confident of
victory on the second try. Frank
Ivey pitched a better game this time,
than he did the day before, and back-
ed by errorless support, and the hit-
ting of the Scrubs, we were able to
redeem ourselves for the defeat on
Friday.
Ross was accused of being a school
teacher and a monkey. The Umpire
had called a close one on one of the
Blanco boys, and they were fussing
about it when Ross said that “Close-
things” didn’t count now-a-days.
About this time an enthusiastic sup-
porter of the Blanco Team remarked
that he was glad that close things
didn’t count because Ross might be
a monkey. Ross agreed that he got
back at him, and the game proceed-
ed after one of the Blanco men had
changed clothes’to allow another man
to play.
The game ended with the score 5
to 4 in our favor, and «rverybody was
feeling good. We were all really
glad that the truck had broken down.
We went to town and spent the
money that Frank had found on the
field and then started home. We
arrived in San Marcos about eight
o’clock Saturday night, and everyone
said that they had had the time of
their lives and everybody wants to
go back, but that is a different story.
