Jakie Haynes Puts
On One-Hit Show
To Defeat Keilymen
"Remember way back when" the
land was young and a sturdy youth by
^nbe name of Jacob Haynes was winKing
fame as a softball pitcher?
Ah. woe is me?just when I
thought that those days were gone
^ forever, time does a reverse and
again I saw this same Jake Haynes
do the lion taming act on the buse^ ball
diamond.
Pot a fact folks?Jake donned the
pitching spangles Wednesday night 1
gainst the Kelly Grease Boys from 1
out Southern airfield way and let
hem down with one lonely hit, thati
a scratch single by Merrill in the
first inning. The Kendalls won the
^ ame to 0 and took top position In .
^Bhe softball league. ,
I It was an air tight game even
^ hough the Kendalls got to Horton
or seven hits. The Grease Boys h
^ played good ball and practically pre- 1
ented the game to the Mill gang, h
Both runs made by tho winners I <
game as a result of wild throws by
Catcher Traap of the Kelly gang. In
the fifth lnnng llaynes singled and
when he started to steal second
Trapp threw t/ie ball far over the
head of the ^second baseman into
center field and Jakie came home
standing up.
In the sixth inning almost the same
thing happened again. ' With two
down Minis singled. When he attempted
to steal, Trapp again cut
loose with his long heave into d':ep
center. Here Merrill messed up the
rolling stone and Minis continued his
gallop and scored.
The only other threat by the Kendalls
came in the fourth when Mims
was nailed at the plate by a beautiful
peg from Kelly to Trapp.
Captain Alvin Keliy of the Crease
Hoys was the only member of his
team to reach third base during the
pastime. Terry and Kelly were the
only members of the losing team to
reach second.
