Crackers Home Today for Series With Pelicans at Poncey THIS IS SHRINERS* DAY; BIG DOINGS ARE ON TAP By Percy IL Whiting. r-j-AHIS Is Masonic day at the ball I park. More particularly it is Shriners day. Fifteerf hun dred Shriners. delegates to the state convention here, will storm the stands at Poncey this after noon. and there will be high old Sliriner times. The opening festivity will be a drill of the Shriners patrol in front of the stands. This in itself should be a big feature. With that out of the way. Illustrious Potentate John A. Hynds will hurl the first ball of the game. Then the Crackers’ star Mason, Tommy Atkins, will take up the doings and finish out the game. After the game the Shriners will blow thejnselves to a grand bar becue at the old Ponce DeLeon amusement park. A slather of prizes have been of fered for the game and for the se ries that it Introduces. The man who pulls off the nio«t brilliant play of the game gets sls in cash, offered by the Sh.tners. The man who drives in th< most runs in the New f trleans series gels a gold watch. The man witii the best bat ting average for the series gets a hat. The pitcher who hurls the best game in the series gets a hat. The player who makes the longest hit gets $5 worth of merchandise. • • • \NT> now, just byway of chang ing the subject, do you know just what a boneitead is? Just off-hand you would say that a bonehead was a player without anj’ sense. But that's wrong. Did you ever hear a manager say "He's crazy, but he has Just enough sense to play baseball?" Maybe sou thought he was kfd ding, but he wasn't. It doesn't always take a brainy dome to top off a smart ball player. Let's take a couple of cases far enough back in the misty past to keep from hurting anybody's feel ings (though there are plenty of such cases in the league today). But. anyhow, just consider "Tacks’ Parrott ami Rugs” Raymond Now, Parrott, in his best day. didn't have an overabundance of convoluted think stuff Yet he was not a "bt-nehead" on the field. Ray mond's < -s. was the same. If The Insec t had had a problem in quad ratic equations to do to save his life he'd t>e a goner sure. Rtit he could keep his end up in baseball So clearly It isn't the dumheads who pull the bones of baseball. Hugh Jennings, in a newspaper article, once said. ‘I don’t believe there is such a tiling as a ’bone head’ In baseball. It is a fault that bears a wrong name What we un derstand nowadays as a ’bonehead’ is merely a man who can not think quickly." And there you have it Raymond and Parrott couldn't think deeply. But what thinking they could do was* done quickly. And that made them "smart ball players." It la likelc that some of -ho great philosophers and thinker- of the age would have been "bone heads" at baseball because they . oul-ln’t think quit kly. • • « \N<»THER thing about ’bon?- headfl” HoiTietitu?? a man will g*»i th» iitl» waddled r »n him for a < oijpi? of play?. «-orr?< tlx mad? by th? player but mlMundernfood by ih» fans, and it ma> tak? him a lifetitn* of smart playing t«» g» t r : - f th? nib* Hav* Jimmy f’allahan ■<•».? •..tx I -ard a < rowd jeer an nut- » r b» ’aufl»- h? r?fuM-d to • at* h a <a,g foil’ There wah a runne on t? rd and only mi? mn in a tight To have caught th? ball hax? allo acd th? runner to -r» f»oni third I *f «otjtM h/ i But fan • apprd at Tua’ * The Judge Is Tough With Speeders Up to a f?x\ yeais ago th? aver age fan \xas all at sea over the hit-and-run plax. When a man lit out from first on a hit ball that tn the fans was obviously a liner right into an infielder's hands, they thought h? xvas a deep-dyed bone. They supposed that the player ran because he did not have any better sens? Right today there are plen ty of regular fans who can't see xx hv players arc so often doubled up when they xvould have been aafe by holding first. J. Callahan cites another exam ple of a supposed ‘‘bun?*’ that real ly wasn't one. Sax - he. ‘I remember an instance of last summer that also illustrates the point. I was coaching at third base. Harry Lord was on first with one out and we needed two runs to ’I? th? score. On the hit-and-run pla.V, Pat Doughcrtx made a line nit to right field and Lord legged if to third. Th? right fielder lined th? ball to second base, and just as 1 grabbed I.ord and stopped him at third, the second baseman fum bled and booted the ball. This xx ould have let Lord come home. CRACK IN BOXING LID IS FOUND IN ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK. ARK.. June 5.—A loophole in Arkansas' penal code large enough for boxers to escape from the charge of prize fighting was recognized here by a justice of the peace, when a ease wherein arrests had been made at the instance of Governor George W. Donaghey was dismissed for want of evidence that the principals had been fighting for a prize. Fight follow era assert that this paves the way for further boxing contests here, and say that preparationsale be ing made to follow the advantages gained today. The defendants freed were Adolph Jacobson. Homer R. Heard and Referee Jax'k White. The contest took place before the Rose City Athletic elul> last Friday night. SAM EDWARDS PITCHES A NO-HIT NO-RUN GAME COMMERCE. GA . June s.—Sam Ed wards held the Royston team to a no hit no run game here yesterday, strik ing out thirteen and issuing only one pass. The fact that the Royston team is made up of such stars as R.-Ginn, Robinson. McWhorter, Jordan. Brooks and others makes it the more note worthy The score was 11 to 0. RACING DEAD IN LOUISIANA. BATON ROUGE. LA.. June 5. That horse racing in Louisiana has littls chance of being restored was shown today by a poll of the lower house of the general assembly, when a majority of the members of that body expressed themselves as opposed to the bill in troduced several days ago providing for the restoration of racing in New Or leans.

At the same time the um pire sent me to the bench for using my hands to push Lord back to the hag and the crowd thought that Manager Duffy had taken me off the coaching line for pulling a bone-headed play.” About all the moral there Is to this tale is that it doesn’t pay to judge players hastily nor Is it wise to size a man up as a fool merely because he can’t think quickly enough to keep up with the speed of a baseball. The worst looking play is sometimes for the best and the slowest thinkers are sometimes the deepest. : ':l. v—■ ' - 'LI Budweiser The only Bottled Beer in constant, demand on Land and Sea, on all Buffet and Dining Oars, at Hotels, Clubs, Cases and Homes. httU with Crognior C o rh,.Only ot JaS.
