Give Onion Grower Reception
Sherwood the onion growers
is to be here Sunday with nine
huskies, and the H. A. L.'s are
bending every effort to be in con
dition when game is called on the
afternoon of the I3th mind you,
the 13th is going to be an unlucky
day for somebody, and the H. A.
L.'s say that they have their fin
gers crossed and a rabbit foot in
each uniform, and that Sherwood
is to pay back that game they
won at Sherwood. Sherwood is
the only town in Washington
County that at present has a
player in big league circles but
Hilkbcro hasn't forgotten she
had Irve Higganbotham in the
big league a few years ago. So
Hilltown is going after Sherwood
and attempt to show them "who
is. who" in the baseball world as
measured by the little circle of
hills that makes the saucer rim
around Washington County, By
Heck, and two new faces will be
seen topping IL A. L. uniforms
arid the grocers all report big
sales of cayenne to the locals
for "pep"is what is needed, want
ed, and must be had for didn't
Sherwood trim the Kirkpatricks.
And at that, the only trimming
which has been administered to
the Kirks. So turn out Sunday
and see a game worth while. If
the 11. A. L.'s don't come thro
they promise you can look thro
them at a sfone wall, allee same
firing squad.

he will have a real team in the
field "when Sherwood comes to
town."
