With a gun In his hands .
capable of laying low a pre-
historic dinosaur, I've seen n
gay stand shaking like a quak
ing asp while a back deer
moiled by some SO yards away;
before an Important basketball,
baseball or football game I've,
witnessed kids so shaky they
couldn't get their clothes la
place; I once saw a gent who
had such a terrific hangover he ;
registered the lowest mark that
has ever been recorded in a
mechanical coordination test;
BIT I'm not stuttering when I
say the way those Kugeno
Rubes tied up In knots, before
Mr. Human Windmill Crofoot
and his 'Maker mates, makes
the before-mentioned collapses'
Immediately become as 'insig
nificant as a speck-on-a-lcu!e-on-a-nit-on-a-mouse.
Sick?And Howl!
Their almost unbelievable at
tack ot the Jitters not only made
them look As sick as a deep sea
fisherman with a stomach full
of fried potatoes, but it made the
songs of praise I've written about
'em during the summer look as
pale as a petrified owl's ear. And
If you don't think that's plenty
pale, just go and (try to) look
at one! About the only gent I
can think ot who could adequate
ly describe their combined col
lapse is that Arab sheik who is
always 'n' always a-going to "fold
his tent and steal away In the
night" or something.
Once Were Good.
They no more looked like
the club which set those same
. Papermakers down twice dur
ing the season than I look like
Gene Raymond. On their . two
previous trips here vthis raw
' mer every one of 'em stood up
at that platter and whaled the
pill with good old baseball cuts
that fairly warmed the cockles
of your heart. Monday night
Crofoot bad "era so stringhalt
ed they looked to be sole au
thors of -Lost in a Fog."
Afield, where in previous p-
rn-a ranees they had the snap,
and dash' of 12-year-old whis
key, Monday night they looked
like pilsner that had been left
open to the evils of fresh air -for
at least 48 hours. Abbre
viatedly, they were losy. Jn
fact, however, . the Knbes are
a much better Softball club than
they showed' here Monday
night.
Space for Percy.
Though the "great collapse
seems to have dominated today's
edition of word calisthenics. I
would feel very sorry If all the
space was given unto that and
none left for a. modest young, fel
low named Crofoot. For while his
'Maker buddies were not exactly
what you old army men might
call "at ease," Sir Percy Knight
of the Windmill was out there
whanging em over aa coolly as
If not one thing, depended apoa
his work. Reconsidering a mo
ment, I'm even Inclined to ' be
lieve I've been a bit too harsh
in regard to the Rubes and their
showing Monday night. For. after
sitting behind the plate while that
pinwheel master waa motivating
that pill across, I don't for ths
life of ms sea how they got the
three hits that were registered
for them!
Hops Every Way.
Either the led, who Is so
modest be allowed his suae
to go in headlines for nearly
two years spelled Crowfoot"
Instead of the proper Crofoot,
has that softball doing didoes
or I'm dne for a session with
aa oculist. I viewed w 1 1 h
alarm) his pitching from be
hind the plate for the first time
Blonday Blgbt. Besides being
alarming, it was a revelation.
"Whereas all you ran see from
the side Is his sinker ball, Mr
you oughts look at that agate
. from behind or, as the boys
tell me, from either side of the
dish! Besides that downward
bop, and it's a distinct hop, the;
pinwbeeler can make that pill
hop identically either to the
right or left. It's fascinating.
But I guess the Rubes didn't
think so. '

Two Hit Game

Astoria Easterns Dropped
6 to 1, the One Their
1st in 5 Years
But two bingjes were registered
off veteran pitcher Henry Singer
a Square Deal last night elimina
ted Astoria's Easterns from the
state softball tournament by a 6
to 1 count.
The win kept both of Salem's
two entrants In the tourney,
thereby assuring Its financial cuc
cess. j
A total of fire walks were is
sued by Harry Steinbock of the
Easterns In the opening stana.
Those; combined with Lou Sins
er's three-base 6mash to center
and Dick Gentzkow s single, gave
the Dealer's a three-run advan
tage, almost, from scratch.
Improvement Gradual
The Eastern failed by a wide
margin to live up to their ad
vance 'reputation, but at that M
far better than any previous As
toria delegation. In '24 Astoria
was sent back to the Columbia
river mouth 21-0, in '35 it wan
2 0-0. .In '36 It was 19-0 snd ia '21
9-0. I
Dick Gentzkow's bingle and two
of the three errors committed by
Second' Baseman Blomquist gave
the Dealers a run in the third.
They picked op one in the fourth
with Bill Gentzkow bingllng. ad
vancing on an error and an in
field out and across on Ike Els
imingers single, and finished up
in the fiftn when D'Arcy doubled
and was driven home by Lou Sing
er's one-hase blow to center,.
Steinbock Scores Run
Harry Steinbock scored the
Easterns' only run in the fifth,
collecting one of the two hits giv
en bt by Singer, taking second on
a wild pitch and crossing pay rub
ber when Caves, at first base, let
Dick GentzkoWs throw on Col
lier's ground ball got away from
him. j t '
