THE JUNIOR YEAR BOOK Has Good Time at Foot E THE COUNTRY BOY’S EXPERIENCE AT FOOT¬ BALL. “ Wall, I had went to se the foot-hall game. The hoys lined up like twenty head of steers and then went at each other like so many hilly goats. Wall, when they unpiled, Tom Brown was laid out, so they asked me ter play. T’d never played, hut I thought it looked orful easy. So when they piled up I just laid around the edge, and pulled har ter heat the hand, until one of them big lobsters let out one of his shanks and kicked) me nose. After that I knew that the game was ter kick each other, so I kicked ter heat the hand. All at onc’t the hall came rollin’ out, I grabbed her and run like the 1 dickens. One big white-headed Ike made a dive at my shins, so I lammed him one in ther snoot. The crowd roared, but the rest of them on my side were mad. T had done gone and run fer the wrong goal. CLIFFORD CONNOR. - 0 - COUNTRY BOY’S EXPERIENCE AT BASE-BALL. Wall, after that foot-hall game,I kinder lost all faith in meself as ter such sports. But along in ther spring some of ther fellers thot they’d get up er base-hall nine. They wanted me ter practice some with them, hut my spirits had returned, so I up and sed I knowed nough already. Wall, we wus done goin’ ter play’ gainst of Page Number 19 ail and Base Ball Games ther next town, one day. I wus ter play short-stop. Wall, we got out on ther diamond, an’ they done called the game; then I begun ter get a leetle sheered One big feller came up ter hat and swung it at me. That kinder made me a leetle suspicious, of him, so when he up an’ knocked er hot one at me, I got sore and told| him to done go and git it himself. But our first-sacker told me if I didn’t hustle and git it, and then throw it, he’d, wipe me out. So I run, got it and throwed. But gosh! Time I got it ter that first baseman, that feller wus goin’ home like greased lightnin’. Wall, after some rag-chewin we uns finely done got ter hat. When my turn came, I sauntered up and, and golly, how I lamed at that there hall. But shoot! I missed it er mile! That there pitcher laffed at me and that made me hot. So when he throwed ther next one I just stood there ter fool him. But, law! that there ball just come a rippin and hit me right on ther nose! Wall, mebe you think I wasn’t hot! Finely they told me ter go to first base. Then that feller who wus coach¬ in’ me, told me ter steal second base. So, when nobody wus a lookin’, I pulled up ther base and throwed it oven ther fence. Gee, wasn’t there a row then! One of our fellers told me that I had better go back an’ hoe ther corn, so I done quit an’ they done lost ther game. I don’t think that ther base-hall done agrees with me appetite, anyway. CLIFFORD CONNOR.
