Soffball Sidelights
III I||||MIIH||I
Perhaps we should say “pros
pects” instead of “sidelights,” for
at the time of this writing it’s
much too cold to do anything ex
cept talk over the prospects and
to make plans. .
A season well planned should
turn out to be a season well play
ed. All managers should begin to
look around and see what play-
er^s will be available, and above
all, start ‘talking’ softball. By the
time this goes to press it will be
close to time for practice to start.
For your health’s sake, let’s get
out this year and Play Ball!

One Less To Ache ,
Recently R. W. Tippett went to I
a local dentist for a check-up. An |
examination proved that one had i
to be extracted. Well, Tippett was |
scared to death (so the boys say).
He turned pale, and then changed
color several more times. Finally
someone came to the rescue and
gave him a dram of courage medi
cine to calm him down. What hap
pened from then on we don’t know
except he did come home without
the tooth. “One less to ache,” he
said.
