Before we go farther, let’a give three t-heera for Jimmy Tea
gue, the amarteat, gquarest styoting, fightingest manager in the
league! The fana of Goldaiioro are at your feet, Jimmy; you’re
our bert>of heroes.
/• • •
And let’s follow that three cheers with a like number for the
team. There’s a bunch of ball players you can’t praise tog much.
For the better part of thret* months they.showed the way to every
team in the circuit. Thfen. just as it iookbd like they were going
to stay atop the Pinnacle, hard luck overtook them. Injuries,
along with that old jinx, slump, connived to knock them olf in that
heart breaking finish. y
BUT THEY CAME BACK, BOY—ANiI HOW!
• • • ~ .y,
It’s the team that never quits fighting that shows their metal
Thosjo Goldbugs are that team. They came iwck and whipped
the living lights out of those Terrible Tars, taking four out of six
knd losingka fifth certain victory through the blindness of a couple
of umpires. » T ; ‘

, ' . •* »„
And now, let’s talk some about that final game yesterday! It’s
a game worth talking about, fans. One of those affairs you read
about in fiction!
a • •
MR. RALPH THOMAS IS T&E HERO OF OUR STORY!
• "vR v
We might call this little tale, “CRASHING THROUGH TO
FAME”.
* • •
u Here’ s the ingredients of your story. The hero is out of
favor. He’s lost a couple or so games. The fans says he’s no good.
(Some of our good but skeptical brethren around these parts did
think that and don't anv of you deny it.) Naturally he’s down
in the mouth. He is anxious-for a change to make good. He sees
his team sweep through almost to victory without him contribut
ing one thing worth mentioning; then sees it turned back just
when the championship is in its hands, turned latck, robbed by
the blindness of two inefficient but honest umpires.
~* * • * . >*
, The big moment approaches. The crucial gkme. The old re
liables of the pitihing staff hnve given their all. It’s up to out
hero to come through or go down in ignoming.
• • •
There you hive the stage set. The scene is in the very den
of the terrible enemy. The store- is read&to unfold.
• * *
But it would take too long to fftffold it detail by detail. We’il
make it short.and snappy. If reads like this: Eight inning*, of
shutout baseball; eight beautiful goose eggs; six measly bingies.'
Then rome.s the ninth with his team clinging to a two run lead

K
The terrible Weafer (champion beefer of all time) is at the
plate. He singles. The next man is oIH on a fly.. Then, with a
dangerous pinch hitter up. he bears down. Over anxious to win
his game, ho throws wild to second and 'tbere’* two men on the
sacks, one on the perilous coiner. A few moments later the man
on first steals second There’s enough runs in scoring position
to k.nott the count. What a setting for a climax!

AND BOY, WHAT A CLIMAX!

Mr. Doherty, a dangerous hitter at al! times, is Rt the plato.
Three thousand people are yelling like mad for a home run!
the most hectic baseball one can imagine, is agonizing. And there.
