Donkey Ball Event Promises Local Fun in Patras Saturday
City officials host a donkey ball game at the Patras Fairgrounds with 8 p.m. start. Promoter Ralph Godfrey devised the rule set where all players ride donkeys except the pitcher and catcher who cannot field unless aided by a donkey. Local personalities, including Neilgen, anticipate a lively turnout and a lighter, social atmosphere compared to past events.

Like Son the Runner in a Donkey Base Path Tale
An odd baseball anecdote notes there are no walks or strike-outs as a batter must ride a donkey around the bases after a hit. Umpires Don Arens and Paul Hamlett are assigned for the game. Refreshments will be available both nights as announced. A playful jab to Neil Nielsen on a cold August day closes the item.
