Ups and Downs At Donkey Baseball
The Htmtley F. F. A. boys and the Mayor's "Oldtimers" played a •ttwritey baseball game-tot "Wffl** day night, July 15. The game was originally scheduled for Saurday, July 13, and was^|gstponed be¬ cause of the deliy^pi rain that day.
The F. F. A. boys won the game by a .score of 4-3, however, the score was protested as in one of the final innings the F. F. A. boys literally picked up a full grown donkey complete with rider and carried him around the base line.
Besides the baseball game there .several other attractions, one of which was 4 high school girls in a dollar bill race. Also four men players ran an a.sh tray race. These races wore similar, four donkeys were lined up at 2nd base and tho four riders had to ride ihpm to home plate and pick up cither an ash tray or a bottle. A rcRUlar dollar bill was not used as the master of ceremonies said one of the donkeys would eat it.
All of the players on both teams had several opportunities to bat and attempt to ride one of the bucking, baserunning mourtts and to play se\eral positions in the field. There were many amusing sights besides the obvious ones of people getting thrown off. It was CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX
