Show RAVINGS By CHICK. . Tho game of base ball that was to have been "pulled off" last Wednesday afternoon was "called off." I guess tho guys that worked up the Wednesday Wednes-day half-holiday were exhausted after their Herculean ecort nnd needed the afternoon to sleep. Anyhow they were conspicuous for their absence when tho time for the ball game arrived. ar-rived. The other night when a young feller fel-ler went up the street at about 20 miles an hour one of tho "joy killers" standing by made tho remark: "I wonder when those kids will get the Idea through their heads that It Isn't smart to break tho speed limit?" Answer: Just as soon as they raise tho limit 5 miles an hour. "She wns doing nil she could" then and he had blowed all tho dust from beneath the accelerator button and tromped it flat. Whit Burnett, the pencil pusher for the shrapnel column of tho Salt Lake Herald, took his vacation last week. When I asked tho boss to give mo one, too, ho had tho crust to say, "I was just wondering when you- were going to get through with tho one .you've been having ever since you came into the office to work." Guess I'll have to speed up or "something." iWell, say now, where do they get It? Don't we seo a bnso ball game here on tho Fourth? Tho program reads to tho effect that we "was." And Minersville thinks they are going to have our team up there. We think any town can get up two teams if they don't caro whother thoy get beat or not. But let'a have ONE team that can kleen 'em all. |
