LOST – One goat of the ‘mail” persuasion. Finder will kindly place in mail sack and return per parcel post to Santa Rosa. Billy will do the stamping. That goat was gobbled by the Uncle Sammy Boys of the Petaluma post office when the local eggs and the up-country roses mixed things up on the local diamond Sunday in the absence of the regular teams. The score was 10-2 when the last ball was delivered per special delivery and the way those chickens knocked those petals from the roses was heart-racking. There were two baggers, three baggers, male baggers and all kinds of sacks. The Santa Rosa players were “cancelled’ as quickly as they came into action.

Hart said, “The best friend that a boy or girl, or a young man or woman, ever has is a mother.”
