DOPES OUT
IDE SIGNALS
By Togo Namretsew.
This is all about signals. You
know what I mean. .Maybe you
have sat at a call game next to
some big fat guy who was always
saying, ".Now you Just watch the
manager. Did you see him blow
his nose? Well now you look out.
that means they are going to pull
the hit and 'run play. See there,
didn't I tell you?" You Beo that's
what they call Inside baseball or
signals.
Maybe you're wondering what
j this has to do with the cost of
high living In Skagway. Wait a
minute-—give a fellow time.
Are you going to the game Fri
day;* Well you just watch how
those Mlows play signals.-Mebfoa
you think playing basket ball Is
just throwing that ball around and
waiting for a fair chance to malm
one of your opponents. Not atall,
not atall, Gladioulus. It requires
deep thought. Mebboe I'd better
explain some more. Now when Cap
tain Rousseau hollers "Perfumery
and toilet articles, 82-46-739.,
Asafoetida," that means that
Crede Bonebrake has just got to
yult messing around generally ana
kill some one Rousseau don't like.
TUen if Cleon Ask (Oh yes, he's a
Captain too) hollers "Kellogs Break
fast Food, 462-684, Waxtite Sau
sages," and winks with his right
eye ♦wice and oaoo with his left,
that means England expects every
mau to do his duty or words to
that effect.
Of course great secrecy must be
maintained. I have been told that
the Firemen have a mau sleep at
the fire house every night just to
protect their Sigual Code Book and
I am certain that the W. P. A. C.
team meet in the cellar under Kel
lers' Drug store.
Any way you go to the game Fri
day and see for yourself. And
just watch the pape>- too, because
if the City of Seattle misses the
rocks, and don't try to come over
land I'll have something more to
tell you Friday.
