YOU WRITE IT SOMETIME
Ever so often as we limp along the street or wearily perch
upon some store counter, various and sundry folks approach us
upon the idea of changing the Gab Bag one way or another, or
putting this or that in, or doing so and so or so and so.
Which would be okey if we felt like it as to some of the ideas,
or would get us run out of town as to some of the others. But
being one of these poor misguided individuals who attempts to
please as well as displease, we are hereby and herewith extending
an invitation to each and every*
reader and sdggestor to write the j
Gab Bag for one week as they would ]
have it written. ,
We would appreciate it very much
if some one would take it off our
hands for a week. If you want to
try your hand at it, go to it. Get
a typewriter—or if you can't operate
a typewriter, grab up half a dozen
pencils and enough paper for sev
eral thousand words, and get going.
Then either bring to us or mail to
us. But be sure your name is signed
to your column, because goodness
knows, we're not going to be respon
sible for anything you may write.
We often wish we were not respon
sible for some of the things we write.
This is the great opportunity for
you suggestion givers. It's your
chance to win undying fame. So
get busy and put your ideas and
suggestions on paper. If you don't
choose to run, then let's not hear
anymore about it.
P. S. We'll be willing to bet that
not one outside column is received—
unless perhaps from Adam Elam.
And that one would no doubt have
to be censored.

* »g a. i
about the name of the street you
live on, play like you're going to take
out some fire insurance. The in
surance man has a chart with the
various street names on it . . . And
if the commissioners are going to
continue to dilly dally about the
street marker situation they could
at least provide all visitors and
strangers here with names and ad
dresses of fire insurance men so they
could go to them and play like they
were going to buy some insurance
and find out where such and such a
street was . . . Still, though, with no
street markers, how could they find
the address of the insurance men?
. . . On second thought, maybe it's
not such a good idea after all.
BASE BALL EXTRA
At this writing it is exactly 19
minutes of 4, eastern standard time,
Thursday afternoon, August 23. At
4:30 o'clock, provided it doesn't start
raining again, a picked Fat and Lean
team will play the Chatham Blan
keteers. We are going, and are re
serving the remaining space for an
account of the excitement. We'll
be seeing you.
Later.
Well, the game's over, and the
score was 50-14 in favor of the Fats
and Leans. That is, according to
an alleged statement on the part of
the coach of the Blanketeers that his
team would give the FatS-Leans 10
for every run they scored. In real
figures it was 14-5 in favor of Chat
ham.
There were many high spots in
the game, and several miracles. One
of the miracles was when Coach
Hambright, playing too far off first
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
base, was thrown out from the pitch
er's box. Not only was this feat a
miracle, but also an accident. The
reason for it was that Coach was
playing too far off first base and
couldn't get back in time.
Dr. White, catcher for the Fats-
Leans, also performed miracles. Shod
in tennis shoes, and standing on a
wet sack which was floating in a
mudhole, he threw runners out at
second and in the meantime enter
tained the fans by sliding around
home plate on his stomach and back.
It's hard to say which the fans en
joyed most—Dr. White's sliding or
his sliding.
Coy Bates, pitching for the Fats-
Leans, struck out eight of the
Blanketeers. This, too, was perhaps
a miracle, it being rumored about
that the reason the Blanketeers fan
ned was because they missed the ball.
Of course if they hadn't missed the
ball, they probably wouldn't have
fanned, but one can't always tell
about that, can one? Instead of
just plain missing the ball, they
might not have hit it.
Lefty Southard, holding down first
base in the latter part of the game,
was another miracle performer. He
caught a man out at first! At other
times he entertairied the crowd by
playing tag with the ball as it went
by. However, he got even with the
ball for passing him up like that by
smacking it over the fence, as did
Davis, Tom Parker and others.
The game ended after going nine
innings. If they could have played
15 or 20 more innings the Fats Leans
may have won.
THIS AND THAT
Had a small fire in one of the
stores Saturday night.
Following the blaze, the fire de
partment asked that at future fires
all members of the town board of
commissioners kindly gather at the
fire house to assist in getting the
fire truck started.
Next week we're going to tell how
Professor Nemar did his blindfold
drive. That is, if we can get him
to tell us before hand.
And after we explain it, we'd like
very much for some of you folks to
try it. Of course, you'll have to
furnish your own undertaker.
For the benefit of you scoffers, he
was absolutely blindfolded. He also
couldn't see. Or could he?
• * *
Yet he drove better than a lot of
folks we could mention who can.
