Speaking of the unusual?have you ever stopped to realise that chickens are the greatest oddity known on the! face o( the earth, because they are the only things that you can eat befort they are boru and after they are dead, Just for a change? let's have a word about golf, t'hey say that golf makes an old man young and a young man useless. However, you will find a wonderful class of men ou a golf course. You will find them to be 99 per cent gentlemen. You can learn a 111 mii'it character Quicker on a b?>H course than any Other place on the face of the earth. Borne of the largest business* transactions have originated on a golf Unka. Golf Is a life tliue study, one In yblch the patient may become exhausted, but uever the subject. A score of 100 is ^ousidered perfect golf?because if you shoot less thau 100 you neglect your business? and If you shoot over 100 you neglect your golf. Well, old Jup Pluv sure put a dent in the Softball schedule. All games were rained out, including the charity tilt bet wean the Rotary and KIwants clubs.

What Is the name of that place where so inueh baa been done to promote the peace of the world?" s Don, who Just walked In and heard the Query, "Keno." s s We believe that the outstanding feautre of the gubernatorial feast fast at Hampton Park lest Monday was the sign on the door of the sound wa gon which read "Canldatee only." We are still pondering as to the new spelling of "candidates." There was a big crowd in the park to listen to the words of wisdom and the promises offered by the group of candidates. It was mighty Interest Wolves File Protest on One-Hit Win [ Bill Reeves, midget beaver of the! j Kendall >W>rne(s. did a swell job of hurling against the \W>lvea Tuesday | evening, yielding but one hit, that a single by Zander Clarkscn in the a:*th Inning. Reeves may not get credit for hi* brilliant performance aa a pro-, teat waa alapped on (he game by the Wolvea maugeuieut. The Wolvea baaed their protest on an alleged violation of the natioual aoftball regulations governing the use' of plates on the shoes of the players, j The rules stipulate plates cauuot have spikes that are morq than three-1 | eighths of an inch in length and can-' not have a sharp edge. It Is claimed that Elton Keeves, of the Hornets, wore plates that were too long and were also sharpened. , The protest was formally tiled after the game. Neutral captains will pass I upon the protest. The captains of I the Wolves and Kendall teams will I he permitted to present their statements after which the neutre) cep| tains will give their verdict, if the protest is sustained the contest will be ruled "no game." The game was featured by some brilliant plays. Memlell Threatt, of the Hornets, staged a shoe string catch In the third Inning that was a honey. He literally dove for the ball, caught It a few inches above the grass and then catapulated headlong, rolling over several times, but holding the captured ball aloft. The Hornets threatened In the first inning, when a walk and two errors coupled with a single, loaded the bases with two down. Bill Beeves flew to Halsall In left to retire the side. In the second, however, the Hornets took advantage of two errors, two walks and a single to score four runs. No runs were scored In the third but they made another dangerous gesture In the fourth, filling the sacks again on two hits and a walk, but with two down. Twltty ended the score by popping to C. Rhame. Kendall went down one, two, three in the fourth, but added u marker In the fifth when two hits and an error put B. Beeves over the plate. Another quartet of runs came In for the Hornets In the seventh, after they had gone down In order In the sixth. Five hits and two errors did the trick. The Wolves threatened to go places in but one inning, that being the sixth, when with one down, Z. Clarkson got a life on A. Beeves' error at the initial corner. With two down, and Clarkson on third, Billy Nettles [ waited for four wide ball, went to first' and stole second. Zander Clarkson then came.across with the lone hit of the game for the Wolves, a double between second and third, scoring Z., Clarkson and B. Nettles. The Wolves played a miserable defensive game, booting the ball nine times. The Hornets earned but two of the nine runs scored. All others resulted from walks or mlsplays. The Hornets booted the ball but twice. The diamond and outfield were soggy and slippery, accounting in a large measure for the misplays. The protest, if sustained, would leave the Kendall team with a one game lead over the Wolves, Fsso and Sinclair, all tied for second place. This lineup would be changed by the games played Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The score: R H E Kendall 9 12 2 Wolves 2 1 9 Batteries: Kendall. Beeves and Reeves; Wolves, C. Rhame and Nettles.

The protest made by the Wolves ia based on a national rule and cannot be ignored by the )o<al council. Elton Reaves figures in the protest to the extent that he is barged with wearing' regular baseball shoes jrhlch have Spikes that are at fault. The rule limits the length of the spikes to three-eighths of an inch and they must have a blunt edge.
