HUMBLE BEE
V. F. W. marched out to the flag
pole. The flag was raised in mil-
itary form by the color-guard of
the V. F. W. while Tony and his
band played “Star Spangled Ban-
ner.” After the flag was raised,
both band and V. F. W. marched
off the field into the grand stand
where Tony and his band kept
the crowd full of pep throughout
the game with snappy tunes.
Mr. J. L. Finley, manager of
the Humble Oil & Refining Com-
pany, pitched the first ball and
Mr. J. W. Powell, Mayor of Goose
Creek, received it, and the um-
pire called it a strike. The game
itself got started about 3:45 p. m.

ters a 4-1 defeat. It was a great
game all the way. Manager Hick-

Both Clubs being tied for first
place, it had to be a battle, and
it certainly was, from beginning to
end which lasted through eleven
innings, giving Baytown another
win by a -score of 1 to 0. Both
teams furnished plenty of excite-
ment for the fans, and the fans
certainly did their part by root-
ing for their club.
Dick Humphries was, without
doubt, the most outstanding play-
er of the game. His control was
almost perfect allowing one base
on balls. He also batted in the
only run of the game. Chink
Humphries, backstop, played in his
usual form which is envied by all
the backstoppers of the league.
Chink is not only a catcher but
an all-around ball player as well.
Jack Shires, who is considered
the best first sacker in the league,
played up to his standard while
Speer, at second, Buckles in short,
and Dutch Behrens at third, made
up the rest of the infield—which
is second to none.
Beasley and Watkins both starr-
ed in the outfield.
The Goose Creek team, managed
by Blaise Alleman, played a very
good game of baseball and was in
the game at all times but moze
especially in the pinches. No
pitcher could have had better sup-
port than that given Pitcher Witt-
mer by the Goose Creek club, who
did pitch a good ball game.
“Noisy” Greer of Goose Creek
made the longest hit of the game,
getting two bases. Manager Alle-
man played a good game in his
regular position at first base.
Houser and McDonald robbed the
Oilers of several hits and probab-
ly scores, while Casey and Lo

In the bright sun
And 0-those plays
That kept down the runs

And the bats like

To witness the battle
Such a treat was in store
For they got their money’s

And many a throat was sore.
