The biggest game of base ball of
the season was played on the local
diamond Thursday evening when
the fat men of Weatherlord crossed
bats with the fat men of Mineral
.Wells. The game was called at
4:30 and for one hour and forty
minutes the balls were kept moving.
The average weight of the visitors
including the weights they wore
was 205 pounds while the home
boys only averaged 200 pounds
with two pounds for good measure,
but we are not responsible for the
bullets and lead slugs and other-
things some of the local boys had
in their pockets when they weighed
out. The Mineral Wells fats tried
to raise a howl when Weatherford’s
crack catcher, Ferguson, appeared
on the scene but when It was ex-
plained that what he lacked in
weight was made up in height the
crowd was perfectly satisfied and
the game proceeded.
You have heard tell of what
trouble ensues when Greek meets
Greek, haven’t you? How feathers
and fur and even hair was want to
fly? But the chronicler has failed
so far to give the result when fat
meets fat. You’ve seen a large
stope thrown into a muddy puddle
of water, haven’t you? You know
the proverbial result of a party
stepping On a banana peel?
You have read of head-on collis-
ions between freight trains, loaded
with cabbage, onions etc. The com-
bined effects of these three gives a
mint idea of the sounds, sights nail
smells when fat meets fat.
The reader will note below the
world “umpire,’’ by this »* mean
“moderator” or to put it roughly',
"disturbance queller.” These guys
are stationed " at certain points
where trouble is expected with good
hefty bats    and    requested    to enter
the game at critical periods and to
settle disputes by main strength
and awkwardness. We cannot
claim much for the strength of the
two named parlies but their awk-
wardness was a sight to behold.
Waytuan    White of this    city    and
Ike Sablosky of Mineral Wells acted
as official umpires of the game,
while Dill    and    Singleton    kept    thk
score.

For the first ten minutes the si.
lence was golden. Talking was con-
spicuous by its absence. The eaters
were attending to something much
more important than talking—doing
justice to Lost CJsb/s attractively
served food.
Alter this had been attended to,
though the chairs were pushed bacK,
faces turned toward the center of
the table where H. C. Shropshire
was clearing his throat and prepar-
ing to earn his supper by acting as
toastmaster. in the well-phrased
way which is so characteristic of
him Mr. Shropshire welcomed the
men and ladies from Mineral Wells
to the city, in humorous and ser-
ious vein telling the guests that the
people of Weatherford were delight-
ed to have their neighbors with
them, wanted their good friendship
and hoped that this occasion would
only be the first of a series of such
pleasant meetings.
Having made his introductory re-
marks, ilr. Shropshire called on
Lawrence Garrett of Mineral Well?
to address the meeting on a subject
which was very near to his heart,
namely, Rotarianism. Mr. Garrett
responded vt-rv ably, outlining the
principles organization, and aims
to a town from the existence of a
rotary club in it with its high ideals,
co-operation between members and
good fellowship, lie said that Min-
eral Wells had a very active Ro-
tary Club, and that one of the best
hopes of that organization was to'
father a similar organization in
Weatherford, their next door neigh-
bor to the east.
Toastmaster Shropshire next call-
ed on th« veteran manager of the
Chamber of Commerce at Mineral
Wells to speak on the subject of the
bitterness of defeat from the Min-
eral Wells viewpoint. Mr. Miller
neatly countered by saying
that defeat, was far from bitter when
suffered at the hands of such good
friends of their* as the people of
Weatherford and that their sorrow
at defeat was greatly tempered by
the sweetness of the thought of
what woe they would inflict on
Weatherford when the next game
would be played at Mineral Wells,
when they would have a- chance to
use their real fat meu, who were so
mighty physically that they had
beets unable to find. an automobile
strong enough to bring them down
over Weatherford’s bumpy ^county-
roads. ■ After which" neat little re-
tort. Mr. Miller voiced Mineral
Wells’ desire to get into closer com
luunication along business and so-
cial lines with the people of this
city.
The next man to have the pleas-
ure of being advertised before the
assembly was Secretary Cope of the
Weatherford Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Cope, speaking for the Chamber
«f Commerce, said that the policy
of i lie local organization at present
and for the luture was one of co-'
