Decatur Rotarians proved themselves slightly belter "riders" than the I4»ns Thursday night, and aa a result the Rotarians nosed out a 2-1 victory in the donkey softball game, played at the South Ward diamond as a Boy Scout benefit. The only resemblance to a softball game was the fact that a ball and a bat were used All players, with the exception of the pitcher, catcher and hatter were astride donkeys. And the batter, after hitting the ball, was forced to mount a donkey and ride the bases The batters' donkey* proved de- - idedly opposed to being ridden, however, and fortunate was the batter which reached first base safely without being tossed overl">ard by hla mount at least twice.
