BASEBALL REPORTERS OF
TODAY ARE CONSIDERATE
Lucky for the Seattle Baseball Club
that the fellow who reported games
for the Quincy Herald back In 1895 has
not been on the job here this year.
Following Is a Herald report of a
game:
"The glass-armed toy soldiers of this
town were fed to the pigs yesterday
by the cadaverous Indian grave rob
bers from < imaha. The flabby one
h gged Reubens, who represent the
Gem City in the reckless rush for the
baseball pennant, had their skins toast
ed by the basilisk-eyed cattle drivers
from the west.
"They stood around with gaping eve
balls, like n hen on a hot nail, and suf
fered the grizzly yaps from Omaha to
run bases till their necks were long
with thirst. Hickey had more errors
than ‘Coin’s Financial School,' and led
the rheumatic procession to the mor
gue. The Qulncys were full of straw
and scrap iron.
“They couldn’t hit a brick wagon
with a pickax and ran bases like pall
bearers at a funeral. If three-base hits
were growing on the back of every
man’s neck they couldn't reach ’em
with a feather duster. It looked as if
the Amalgamated Union of South Am
erica Hoodoos was In session for work
in the thirty-third degree. The geez
ers stood about and whistled for help,
and were too weak they couldn't lift a
glass of beer if it had been all foam.
"Everything was yellow, rocky and
whangbasted like stig tossed full of
doddlegammon. The game was whisp
ered and frostbitten. The Omahogs
were bad enough, but the Quincy
Rrown Sox had their fins sewed up un
til they couldn't hold a crazy quilt
unless It was tied around their necks.
Roast the scareycd crocodiles, anyhow.'
