Crowd Expected For
Donkey Baseball Game
It begins to look like a capacity
crowd will be on hand Monday
night, July 4, to see the Donkey
Baseball game played by the Nan
tahala National Forest Service and
the Franklin Fire Department at
the Franklin high school base will
park for the benefit of the Fire
Department.
The game will begin at 8 o'clock
p. m. and the admission will be 25
cents for adults and 15 cents for
children .under 12.
An added attraction will be the
Donkey Derby which will be run
just before the game. Local- digni
taries have been selected to be the
jockeys. The winning jockey will re
ceive" a beautiful hand painted, red
plush pillow. The jockeys will be:
Cleobelle Moore, Polly Welch,
Lena Conley, Ruby Calloway, Grace
Baird, Thelma Welch, Ada Belle
Sherrill, Frances Ashe, and Ida
Bryant.
The committee in charge of se
lecting the players for the Donkey
Baseball game and the jockeys feel
that they have organized two out
standing teams and a field of jock
eys that cannot be surpassed.
All the players must ride donk
eys but they get their feet on the
ground once in awhile. (Needless
to mention there are occasionally
other parts of the players' anatom
ies on the ground.) It is when they
are batting that the men get a
rest from riding. However, as soon
as the batter hits the ball he must
get aboard a donkey to ride to
first base.
The Bar X Ranch troupe of base
ball donkeys are said to be in tip
top shape for the battle. The frisky
little jenny, "Mae West", is said
to be in particularly good, shape.
