Donkey Softball Tonight
The donkeys are coming! Differ
ent sizes, shapes and colors but
all with their own individualities,
or so says the manager of the
Orange J. Ranch. They’ve been
in the donkey business for a long
time and think this is the finest
group of baseball minded bur
ros on the road. Each is a gradu
ate of their “Donkey College” and
is a past master at his own par
ticular specialty, whether it is
base stealing, sliding, bucking or
just plain standing still. In case
you haven’t heard, they’re to be
used in the softball game tonight
at Harmon Field under the aus
pices of the Columbus Chamber
of Commerce.
All the players, excepting the
pitcher and the catcher are to be
mounted on the donkeys and are
to run bases, field balls and to
make all other plays while riding
on the donkeys. And, what is
more, they will have to cope with
the donkeys’ ideas as to what
should be done on the field and in
the game.
To add to the sport of the night,
the sponsors have arranged for a
complete floodlighting system to be
set up at the Field and the entire
game will be played under the
giant lights.—Contributed.
