THE DANBURY REPORTER
Donkey Baseball
Tuesday Night
July 19th
(Contributed.)
As the time draws near for tha
annual classical "Donkey Base
ball" game to be played at River
side Park in Danbury on the
I night of the 19th, the Associated
1 Presg has delegated yours truly
a a its special reporter to inter
view the various subjects who,
last year, and who will again this
year massage the humble beast.
Doc Moorefield lows that if
Elizabeth will let him have the
night off he will do his best to
entertain "May West." Of course
Doc many year a ag, practiced
medicine on mules, (that is he
rode on a mule to see his pa
tients.) It is rumored that Doc
i s not the kind of a man that
"May" would like to see. This
|is about all that we can say about
jDoc in the newspaper.
If Walter Petree can be per
suaded to get out of his Packard
j long enough, and if he can gel
I off from going to Walnut Cove,
Greensboro, and Lawsonville
(boy, is he a Roaming Romeo,)
and if his. back is not troubling
him too much he will be taking
care of the keystone sack on
| ' Popeye." Walter is taking his
j last Bins at romance with that
| Packard.
"He is the dad blamedest, "gol
dingest buckaroo that ever rode
across these hills of Stokes coua
ty." That is the comment that
ha s been made, truly, times too
frequent to enumerate, about
our historic old character and
bad man No. 1 of Stokes county,
Jessie James. Jessie will be
mounted unmounted on his
namesake Jessie James.
Last year William Marshall
spent thirty minutes between this
good old earth and heaven. He
came back to earth last year but
the chances are that he will get
to heaven this time.
Cleve Lawson says, "If they
can be rid I can ride them." That
is what Burk Smith said last
year until they put him on "Dil
linger". "Dillinger didn't throw
Burke down, and he didn't throw
him a pop-up, he threw Burke in
a line drive.
Sheriff Taylor says, quote,
quote, """"I rode them last year
and I will do it again.""" Un
quote, unquote, we hope. The
Sheriff a;way a gets hi 3 man and
can ride anything.
Lon Sisk is not what he used
to be but he says that he can and
will handle any of them.
Dr. DeHart, as you will remem
ber from last year's game, spent
thirty minutes trying to steal
third base. He was finally put
out in center field. Dr. says give
him one good teeth and he will
get home thi 3 time.
Ralph Scott says that all pros
pects for the game are mighty
bright at the present time.
Mac Caudle will bold down the
hot corner if his comments are
not too strong and if "Wimpy"
does not unseat him.
Pine Hall has looked its com
munity over thoroughly and has
picked as its representative the
reliable and dependable Tom
Preston. Now it is not denied
that Tom i a reliable and depend
able; but we just don't believe
that be ha« had much experience
with donkeys. Time will tell.

Incidentally, while we are in
the midst of writing all of this,
who should walk in but that great
arbitrator of last year's gam?,
who has agreed to serve again
this year a 8 umpire, it is none
other than James B. Joyce. Ex
cept for the occasional comment
' that the donkeys knew more
about the game than the umpire
everyone seemed well satisfied
I
with Mr. Joyce'a work last year.
Jim called, out seven donkeys at
first base and they would not get
'out.
