Wonder Lake Golf Open At Hunter County Club Aug. 23 The town team used to play on that same diamond and there were some good teams in these parts. Every team had imports; ~ paid by those who gambled on the games. McHenry had a battery of imports, the pitcher being a humdinger. The big trouble seemed to be to keep him sober. To keep him in the game, they had to keep a bottle on the bench and give him a couple of snorts along about the fifth inning. One day when they couldn't snap him out of it, the catcher called him off the mound and traded positions with him. They got by OK. In those days, only one umpire worked the game as he stood in back of the pitcher. Later the town team played on a diamond down the hill (Third St.) from the old standpipe. One day a ball was hit into my Uncle Mike's garden and a couple of players went over the fence to search for it. Any Takers? A vacation is what you take when you can't take what you've been taking any longer. •Record, Columbia, S.C. B&l FitsgeraM, Co-Chairman is shown with the mystery car.
