OUT ON A ...
LIMB . .
(by Bo McLeod)
Only an old timer can give
an expert comparison of the
weather, 1956 style, and ditto,
1908 style, for example. And
quite often they will, at the
drop of an opening, tell you
how hot it was in the summer
of 87, how cold was the win
ter of ’O3.
Such information would be
of great benefit to us today,
but for one hitch: no two of
them ever agree. I’ve heard
them debate back and forth
about which was the hottest
day, then quit without settling
the issue. Until one leaves,
then that one remaining
assures that old Tom, who
just left, was a fine fellow and
all, but his memory ain’t what
it ought to be, and besides he’s
only 78, too young to remem
ber back when . . . And so it
goes.
Besides, I would be slow to
depend too much on it, even
if several old-timers agree. I
figure tthCre are too many in
definite factors to the matter.
Like what you were doing on
a certain day, where you were,
and like that. It stands to rea
son that a man chopping cot
ton at high noon in a patch
with trees all around it to
keep down the breeze would
find any given day a whole
lot hotter than a person down
on the creek.
I bring up all this to get to
my point: Old timers may not
agree with me, but I’m saying
this is the mildest July we’ve
had in a long time. By that I
mean it’s hot, see, but not as
hot as July* usually is away
down here in Seminole.
Won’t it be a mess when a
Georgia town wins the pen
nant in the Alabama-Florida
league?
Not that I want to put the
Indians on a limb by giving
them the flag already, they’ve
a lot of work ahead before
that can be done.
But frankly I think it is
’pretty pore manners for the
league brass to remain so
snobbish toward Georgia.

Indians Finally Make
It Back to FAG Lead
Neb Wilson led his Indians
back to the top of FAG league
standings this week, by tak
ing two from the then-leaders,
the Graceville Oilers.
Prime reason for the rise
of the Tribe can be credited to .
the pitching staff, which
gave up only 7 runs in the
past four games.
Wlison continued to pace
the offense power of the In
dians, adding his 26th homer,
and 100th RBI this week.
