Monday, April 6, 1953 YANKS UP BY 2 GAMES IN NIRL FIRST DIVISION A two-game lead after just five weekends of play is pretty darn good... the New Yerby Yankees are 5-1 and on top in the North Island Recreational League First Division... the Yanks outscored the Jackson Jackalopes Sunday 11-6... in the other two games in the division Stockdale pulled one out against the Joliet Green Giants 5-2 and Wafford squeezed by the Dutton Coyotes 4-3. |

Monday, April 6, 1953 KOFA STILL KING IN NIRL SECOND The Kofa Kings are on a good roll to start the season... the Kings recorded their fourth consecutive victory to run their record to 5-1, good for a one-game lead over runner-up Theodore (4-2) and two games better than third place Union Heights (3-3)... in North Island Recreational League action in the Second Division yesterday Kofa nicked the Kinston Firebirds 3-2 in 12 innings, Theodore bombed the West Chester Comets 12-7 and Union Heights thumped the Avalon Oldtimers 7-2. |

Monday, April 6, 1953 LIONS AND GATORS STILL ON TOP OF SIRL FIRST The co-leaders of the South Island First League did it the hard way this past weekend... the Opelousas Lions and the Guedon Gators sweated out comeback victories to stay on top of the standings... the Lions stormed back to beat the last place Des Allemands Eagles 10-9... the Gators rallied and just barely hung on to whip the Claiborne Cardinals 8-6... and third place St. Dominic overpowered the Labadieville Pelicans 8-5. |

Monday, April 6, 1953 TIGERS TIE CUBS FOR SI SECOND LEAGUE LEAD The last place Bayou Bleu Blues didn't cooperate and play ball with the top team in the South Island Second League Sunday afternoon... the Blues beat the Delacroix Cubs 6-4 in 11 innings and dropped them into a first-place tie with the Meraux Tigers... Meraux upended the Bar Harbor Acadians 8-5 to tie the Cubs for the top spot in the standings... and the Mystic Mariners were spoilers, too... they slipped past Chitamaca 5-4 and kept the Moccasins out of first place. |

MY LIFE IN 1953
EC's Life is Just Plain Glee in '53 Yesserie babaree... EC's got it made in the shade, Daddy-O... don't really have a care in the world... it's springtime in Sheffield, Alabama... EC's in the 7th grade... Carolyn McDonald is the prettiest girl in my class, a knockout with a classy chassis... no, she doesn't pay any attention to EC... pretty girls don't make passes at guys that wear glasses... EC has been bespectacled since age two... but Carolyn likes me as a person and friend... she invited me to one of her weekend parties... her boyfriend is gosh-awful handsome George Milstead... for the second time in my life we played "spin the bottle"... we would be in a circle and each one of us would spin the Coca-Cola bottle... if it pointed at a girl, the guy would have to go out on the porch and kiss her... and vice-versa... "a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh, as time go by"... a kiss at age 12 was just a peck on the cheek... or at best, a very quick smack on the lips... maybe Carolyn and George kissed longer... and would you believe, EC got to kiss Carolyn?... I thought I might embellish the story a bit and out and out lie...however, I never did like to lie... sorry to report, it was just on the cheek... but hey, at age 12 this was exciting! Come to think about it, it might be kind of nice to kiss Carolyn McDonald on the cheek even at age 80... please don't any of you tell my wife about EC's sordid past and spinning the bottle. Did you notice EC used some 50's slang... some cool sayings of the day... "Daddy-O" just meant "cool dude"... "made in the shade" meant "life was going well"... "classy chassis" did not describe a "hot rod", it meant the lady "had a great body"... EC never was a "cool cat"... never excelled in social graces... EC was just a borderline square at best... EC was sort of "squaresville". And now for your further edification, here are few other cool terms: "Hey, baby, you are the ginchiest... would you like to take a ride in my hot rod and head on over to the passion pit, play some back seat bingo and catch a flick?" "ginchiest" means "you are cool, good-looking and I like you"... "passion pit" meant "drive-in theatre"... "back seat bingo" was being "lovey dovey and making out in the back seat"... "flick" was a movie or as we sometimes called them "picture shows"... EC did not have a sophisticated upbringing. Naw, EC never ever had a hot rod... never got to "burn rubber"... never even had a car in high school... or even a motor scooter... so I never got to use those cool words on ginchy gals with classy chassises. "burn rubber"... meant to "spin the wheels on your car at a high rate of speed causing the rubber to burn"... EC had to pay for his car... daddy never bought it for him... so EC had to pay for his tires... therefore, EC never ever "burned rubber"... that would have been a foolish waste of EC's hard-earned money... in high school I worked three years in the kitchen at a restaurant... dishwasher, pot washer, food preparation... Friday, Saturday and Sunday 3 pm to 11 pm... made about $20 per weekend. And now from wonderful world of music... even at an early age EC enjoyed really diggin' those far out sounds of the 50's. Since I was a DJ for 32 years and love music as much as OOTPB, here's the number one country song for all you buckaroos and little darlin's, too... here's Hank Williams singing the current #1 song on the country charts in the first week of April, 1953... it's the sad story of poor old Kaw-liga, "who never had a kiss... and never knew what he missed"... this has been the number one song for five weeks now. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...f95afcb341b8b9 And the #1 pop song was a silly, little ditty... and I really mean "silly" in the best sense of the word... the song is so silly, it is not a part of my 7339-song record collection... but a lot of people loved it in 1953. Here's one of my all-time favorite singers, the "singing rage, Miss Patti Page" singing that silly, little ditty "The Doggie in the Window"... this is its fifth straight week at the top spot on the Billboard chart. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...6FORM%3DVDVVXX Last edited by Eugene Church; 06-22-2020 at 09:37 PM. |

Attachment 707825
Monday, April 12, 1953 GOOD YEAR FOR THE YANKS IN NIRL FIRST It's been a while since the New Yerby Yankees were a factor in the North Island First Division... the first year was a good one... the Yanks (18-12) came in a close second to league champion Kofa (20-10)... but they have been a lackluster club since, playing less than .500 baseball the last two seasons... not so this season... New Yerby is out of the gate with 6 wins in the first 7 games and they already boast a 2-game lead over runners-up Stockdale (4-3) and Dutton (4-3). Yesterday afternoon the Yankees soundly whipped last year's champ Joliet 10-3... Dutton got the best of the Jackson Jackalopes 9-7... and Stockdale dismissed the Wafford Eagles 6-2. |
