LOOKOUTS WIN WHILE BOXES INDULGE IN TEA
First Victory of Present Season Registered Over Travelers.
Final Score 9 to 4.
BASEBALL A LA BAUGH
The merry tinkle of tea cup against saucer mingled harmoniously with the cheery crash of
willow against leather at Andrews field yesterday afternoon as the lowly Lookouts registered
their first win of the 1917 campaign over the turbulent Travelers. The final score was 9 to 4.
Both the tinkling tea cups and the crashing willows were realities. As a protest against President Baugh's policy of "ladylike baseball," Earl N. Wester, Stanley Lachman, Cartter Lupton and
other inhabitants of the boxes, actually had tea served by a white- coated attendants and Bill Hart, in spite of Jack O'Toole's frown of disapproval, was good enough to partake of a cup of the
beverage that made Sir Thomas Lipton famous, after carefully tucking a white napkin around his throat.
Silent Protest.
The al-fresco tea party was not the only silent expression of disapproval against baseball a la Baugh. Throughout the entire nine innings not a member of the Chattanooga club spoke to an umpire or an opposing player with the exception of silent Timothy Bowden, who has been appointed field captain by Elberfeld as the nearest approach to an Egyptian mummy obtainable.
In their first win of the season over the Travelers the Lookouts secured ample revenge for the three drubbings they had suffered earlier in the season. The clan of Elberfeld not only whipped the Arkansans—they humiliated them.
NOTE: Hart and O'Toole were the umpires for the game.
