@® WHEN A BATTER can’t think of
anything else to do, he bunts the ball
and runs. Quite often he beats the
throw to first base, everybody's happy
and another of life’s little problems
has been cared for.
And when we are at loose ends, we
generally bat out a little poetry. The
only difference between us and the
ball player is that we never get to
first base on our attempt. But we al-
ways run.
After all that gentle preparation,
very little explanation is needed for
this week’s column. We'll call it Poetic
Personalities and let it go at that.
@® ARCHY AUSTIN, although he’s
mainly concerned with his position as
supervising principal of Beaumont
High School, is still able to take Sun-
days off and be one of the best pitch-
ers in the Bi-County Baseball League.
A left-handed pitcher, Archy has
enough stuff .on the ball to puzzle the
best of the league batters, and at the
same time enough control to be one of
the steadiest and most dependable
pitchers in the circuit. He travels the
whole nine innings more often than
not, rarely blows up when the going
gets rough.
Perhaps the secret of Archy’s
success is the fact that he can
reach half-way between the mound
and the batter’s box. The boys
say you can never tell what the
pitch is going to be until Archy
opens his hand under your nose.
® OR MAYBE Archy’s Phi Beta Kap-
pa key has something to do with it.
Perhaps he fingers it thoughtfully dur-
ing awkward ‘moments. After all, the
skipper of the Queen Mary brought his
ship into port just by consulting a
medal of St. Anthony, and what's good
enough’ for New York harbor is good
enough for Beaumont.
Anyway, Archy rates the very first
poetic personality:
Archy Austin is a southpaw hurler,
‘Whose favorite toss is a home-plate
curler;
On weekdays he bosses a faculty,
And frightens the kids with his Phi
Beta key.
The Dallas Arrows, who face
their opening game of the season
this Sunday without a diamond,
suits, one good practice session or
any encouraging prospects, are def-
initely behind the eight-ball at this
point in the proceedings.
® THEY MAY even have to forfeit
their first game, according to Manager
Don Gross, if it is scheduled at home
. . . home being the old Dallas Borough
ball park, which hasn’t recovered as
yet from a very serious operation it
underwent last Sunday.
The operation wasn’t a success, Don
says, because it rained whenever he
and Pants Lee administered the anaes-
thetic, and by the time they were able
to get to work on the patient again,
the ether had worn off.
So they had to harrow the field with-
out resort to modern scientific methods.
The results were spectacular enough.
The field has now been cured of its
slope, infield, and, as a matter of fact,
of being a baseball diamond at all.
Besides, very few of the Arrows
showed up for practice Sunday
afternoon, which Don says, is prob-
ably the best preparation of all for
a season in defense of the Bi-Coun-
ty crown. >
® “I THINK most of the players are
just waiting for the suits to come,”
Don says. And the only trouble with
that is that the suits, which were sup-
posed to have been shipped from Phil-
adelphia last week, haven't arrived, and
nobody, including the firm with which
the order was placed, knows where
they are.
No suits, no field, no players—and
here is the second poetic personality:
The Dallas Arrows were a mighty
crew, 2
Their runs were many, their losses few;
Last year they were known as the Bi-
County terrors—
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and described as fol-

‘Them Were The Days
What was happening here ten years ago this week? Here are a
files, just to refresh your memory.
Officer Edward Avery has been busy
this week checking up on truck owners
who allow their trucks to be driven
without showing lighted tail lights.
Traffic on the new Luzerne-Trucks-
ville road was severely hampered this
week by bad road conditions which re-
sulted from the heavy rainfall. In many
places it was almost impossible for mo-
for cars and trucks to plow through.
The Alderson corner of the lake was
a busy place this week. Contractor
Coons’ steam shovels, steam rollers,
trucks and graders have made such a
racket that it is plain to anyone that
there is “something doing”.
the College Inn Tuesday night through
a misunderstanding and a large crowd
waited until a late hour.
Editorial Comment: It is too bad that
our local baseball team cannot have a
ball diamond. It seems that we have
sufficient land about town to donate
same, let alone use of it.
