JUNIOR LEGIONNAIRES
DROP FIRST ENCOUNTER
The Jacksonville Junior Legion
league baseball nine dropped its
first game of the season to Verne
Shangle’s picture takers Monday
evening of this week. Paul Hess,
who started for the miners’ sons,
was credited with the loss of the
game, becoming nervously wild.
This was the first league game
Hess had ever pitched and, after
two innings of debauchery, was
transferred to third base to get
control of himself. After an inning
or two of cooling off and a chance
to relax, Hess was replaced in his
first position and proved without a
i
doubt to fans that he has what it
takes to make a real ball player.
It was remarked at the game that
any pitcher who can go in the box,
after already losing the game, and
hold down the Shangleites as thor
oughly as Paul did has the genuine
mettle for the sport.
The local boys were somewhat
frightened by the appearance and
speed of the black-garbed Al vie
