order to bring Dallas “the best Wyo-
ming had to offer, but it seems that
penny line-writers, dollar taxpayers,
ten cent contributors: who nore not
: consulted or allowed to dictate: every
promotion or movement, then they
bring the cuttle-fish propaganda into
play, if not to rule ,then to ruin. Just
how long the fans will stand for this
~ class “of advertisement that is brand-
ing them a misfit, ete, will soon be
~ demonstrated at the games ‘now listed
Eby the Athletics. There is not one
cent of personal gain to be had by any
person whatsoever in the promoting
and the furthering of interest of the
Dallas team in the Wyoming League.
In fact, its motive is to build up the
sport in Dallas, and their permitting
the Saturday games played by the
Rural League to free use of thel
rounds” ,and the high school to use
the field for its baseball and football
games at a small charge in order to
keep the grounds in order, proves be-
yond a doubt the good intention of
b those who are backing the team. In
fact, if the season will show a profit,
and we trust.it will, all moneys will
be deposited with the First National
\ ~ Bank of Dallas for the credit of 1931
season. Nuf Ced.
Nevertheless, it was a great game.
‘Fourteen players took part with
Dallas. For those who do not know,
the : management, was compelled to
make all contracts valid by playing a
man at least one inning before his
contract would be binding, which, of
course, accounts for the changes in
the lineup.
Harter reported for duty, and as
usual his bets were to be placed
# against his home team. That accounts
for the one-half of one per cent. of
the rooters, heard over along the Dal-
las fans.
Approximately 2500 fans, made up
} of women, men and children, were on
the grounds. Eighty-five per cent
were rooting for Dallas.
Chet Culver had 4 great day, Jile-
wise Hutchins, but owing to the cold
~ weather neither player had an oppor-
tunity for a work-out. Culver allowed
but two hits up to the sixth inning
when he asked to be relieved.
Abie says it looks like a real line-
up and he has taken a liking to them,

but says they all need a hair cut and
some of them had either lost their
safety razor or someone had used the
other razor to cut corns. Wondering
if he was not looking at the other
team when he formed that opinion.
Hackling is in a class by himself.
We have always maintained that be
was the best catcher or even the best
performer back of the countain, and
We now predict that before the end of
the season ha will be heard from. Just
} keep your eyes on Hack when he is|
back of the plate.
~ Sportsmanship displayed by Thomas
and listed as contributors. both com-
petitors, proves that real Arxferican
bloods runs true to color, both these
gentlemen were on the grounds, also
furnished their cars to transport fans
and players to and from the grounds
and were rooting every minute for the
home team. This is the spirit that
will pull the team over the top and
the fans as well as the players appre-
ciate their efforts.
And while we have mentioned con-
~ tributors we publish the following and
will publish an additional list next
week: The Dallas Post, TFrantz’s
store, First National Bank, Oliver's
Garage, Risley-Major Co. Dr. Flem-
ing, Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Schooley, Dr.
Bodycomb, Gregory's. barber shop,

Wesley Himmler, C. N. Lapp, J. Ear-
ris, Warden Kunkle, Charles Rice,
Charles P. Hunt, Paul Gordon, Joseph
Wallo, R. Rarris and many others
have signified their intention of mak-
ing a contribution and In assisting in
making this year one of the best in
local baseball history. Anyone wish-
ing to make a contribution will pay
the same to Thom Higgins, treasurer
.of the club, and will be appreciated.
Case meant business. He was out
to punch a hole in the roofs or poke
out a few window panes. The drive
~ on any other ground would have
credited him with a home run and
then some.
Krachenfels ,the new second base-
man, played a star game, both in the
field and at bat. The official score
sheet gives him one time at bat, a
hit and he drew three bases on balls.
‘While Marty Pointek draws a base
on balls, lays down a hit and scores
in both instances.
Two hits ,a hair-raising one hand] -
catch , that turned him cou:pletely
around, a perfect delivery to first base,
gets his man and a hand from the
erowd that would compel Babe Ruth
he to tip his cap, was Bill LaRar's work
for the day at shortstep.
And Owens also had hiz day for two
innings by smashing out a two-bagger|.
and drawing a base on 2 passed ball,
third strike, two men Tone.
It would not be surprising to hear
that the management had agreed 1 pon
Sammy Owens for manager. Wel, we
do not believe it could do better. He
knows all of the players in the valley,
which will give to Dallas considerable
protection, he knows the game, is liked
by all and wanted by the players.
‘What more? :
MacDougal, one of the stars of
the Rural League last year, did not
have an opportunity to display his old
time form. Ma~ never did like souath-
paws and the best part of it he ad-
mits it.
If someone wil’ just assist Tommy
Reese to adjust his licens: tags and
inform hi mthe ‘meaning of the red
and green lights, how to ‘make a right
snd left turn and the purpose of the
stop signs and'give the jud tes a day
off we might increase our receipts
and allow Tommy to get acquainied
with the leather on the cover of the
ball and his mitt, also that he mniight
spend sufficient time with the players
so that he can call them by their first
name and then it’s going to be a big
day for Tommy. “
And Teddy, wild nights and parties
are certainly hard on the eyes. Early
to bed Saturday nights is our only
prescription.
Bowen, one of the top-nochers in the
Lackawanna League, playing with. Old
Forge last season, reported. He will
be seen on the diamond next Sunday
either at second base or shortstop.
Grand Pap, otherwise known as
Bert Stitzer when he’s all dressed up
and better known as “Stitz” whea in
a baseball uniform, through some mis-
understanding, did not report in uni-
form. Nevertheless, Bert appeared in
the grounds and assisted the bois in
practice. Had he been in the !ineup
we might have had a different story
to ‘tell.
Sunday.
Guy Scouton will be given a chance
Sunday to show his wares, Guy is in
the making as a ball player ani we
liope that he will be able to hold down
a berth on the Athletics’ lineup.
This space we reserved for the
“Chocolate Kid,” better known as
“Ad” Woolbert, the fine looking gen-
tleman now holding down first base.
What we like about “Ad” is his al-
ways boosting, ‘if he be on the bench
or in the game, his slogan is: “We
are. out to win,” and the man who
competes for his position will know
that he is playing ' something more
than ping pong.
Then Archie ‘Austin ‘might take a
few tips that we just handed to
Teddy. Archie maintains that they
only play cards, serve ice cream and
cake and that he did partake of a
few cakes at Higgins ’and it was not
later than 3 a. m. Sunday moruing
when he pulled in, which, of course,
accounts for all the fresh marks or
brands he now is carrying on his face.
Well, Archie ,we always did have a
good opinion of you and in order to
keep faith, we hope to mark you up
with a couple of “H’s” and maybe
some S. O. S’s. You know-—same old
stuff.
The Athletics have just signed up
Tex Pazanski, who starred in the In-
dependent League last season. He beat
Maltby, pitching a one-hit game. He
comes well recommended and is to
report on the grounds Sunday. It is
the intention of the managemeni to
start Tex or Crawford, another new
recruit and who performed in several
fast games, both this and last season.
Next Sunday's game will be a real
treat. Plains has a fast, smappy team.
Dallas, likewise, will perform beyond
your expectations. Come out. Roet
and support a good movement.
Yours for better sportsmanship, new
and clean advertising for the rucal
district. CIP.
