BETWEEN YOU By
AND ME ? FRANK H? HEATH I
Th? other day we happened to
spell "klinono" with an "a" thusly
"klmonu." A few duys later one
good counsellor and advisor,! Donald
Morrison, wandered in Lo inform us of
our error.
?
"You arc ladng unfaithful to our
highest traditions" <juoth Donald, 1
"and huvn descended to the level of
thoae (vho would change the Constltutlon.
It Ih terrible to behold.
j
I broke Ln at this point to suggest
that perhaps 1 wan merely trying to
create a feminine form for kimono. j
To which Donald replied that there f
can he no improvement on the prescut
feminine form.

Introducing Percy Maya suul Dewey
Creed, the men )*'h/> can retjlly reju-'
venate huBeball teaiUH. That Ksuo;
outfit lust Friday night had real cIhhh i
and put up a brand of offensive play ,
that wan great. And believe you me I
brothers, Percy and Dewey keeps 'em
pepped up every second. Those two
boys ure reul live-wires. |
*
The crowds of fans is increasing ev- :
cry game. Now if yon want to park
your car near the side lines you have ;
to be there early. And the ladies? '
bless their hearts?are just as much
interested us the male rooters.
Out at'tho Hermitage Mill they:
have a swell ball club, a real credit
to the community. The hoys on the I
team are grateful to Camden business
men for, the support given them in |
outfitting the teatn.
* *
Oh yes before we forget it?those
uniform*! the F?sso crew sported lust
Friday, and will ho noon in vlfln every
appoaranoo in ,iIm> future, in'o nifty.
White shirts wljli the Khbo emblem,
white paiiin and white hose, and tijoy
a re going to have caps hooii -?mire a
nlco looking team.
?
VVoll folks, I'vo seen a lot of high '
school pitchers but tho mound work 1
of this Lynch hoy Just about tops any-J
thing my old lumps havo slimmed in!
many a day. "Red" pitches with his
head and his heart, which with that
whip-like right arm, gives him aai unheal
a hit; combination.
* * * *
Tho nicest tblriK about this boy is
that he Is modest about it all. To
him this pitching assignment is just
a Job he is out to perform to the best
of his ability. "I Just go out and pitch
as I am told to" he said.
Now I want to say modesty is ().
K. in every respect Perhaps "Red"
did pitch them in as he was told to
do, hut Just the same-?don't lose sight
of the fact that when Home big husky
is up at the plate swinging his war
club, it Is "Rod" who has to start out
then on the hill and toss that ball in
And "Red" does just that.
I'mpires tell me "Red" is a hard
man to officiate back of "Red's"
shoots are never over the center of J
the pan, hut cutting the corners so i
close the umpire gets the jitters. It
takes a good man to pitch that brand
of ball.
*
And let it be said?"Red" is a hit-j
ting pitcher. Which makes him 100 1
per cent j
E bso White Hose 18, Cubs 8
Percy A. Mays led his Kb so crow to'
a brilliant victory over the Jenkins
Cubs in a city league fracas at the
high school baseball pasture last Krl
day night, the score being is to X
The Ksso crew showed a complete!
reversal of the form displayed in the
opening game of the league season.
I hey fairly sparkled and the outstanding
luminary of the scintilating !
constellation of stars was Captain !
May 8.
Percy gamboled around the third
sack like a skittish colt picking them
off his feet and plucking them from
the air with the sail froid of a Rabbit
Maranville and Johnny Kvers combined.
Inspired by the example of their
peerless leader the Ksso gung lit into
the slants of George Jenkins, the rotund
hurler for the Cubs In the first
round for six Juicy counters. Then
in the third they added a seventh
run, annexed six more in the fourth
and finished with a five run spasm
in the fifth
- The Cubs were Just not in form and
foil easy victim to Percy and his crow
of gaH pirates. They managed to
sneak a runner over the plate In the
second round, added four in the
fourth, two In the sixth and one in
the seventh.
The Esso rejuvenating process featured
the appearance in the new lineup
of such stellar lights of soft ball
fame as Shirley. Goff, Rose. Mays,
Thomas, 11. Jackson. C. Jackson,
Hasty and Godwin.

The game, played Tuesday evening,
was witnessed by a large crowd of
fans The final score was 1" to *>
The Motors iiad one gay inning, the ;
