DOnegan has obtained papers, and in his case
the first papers were issued three years before

gan stated that he had the papers from the

past, and it would be for the prosecution to
show he was not entitled to vote.

A WRITER in the Cornell Era, a paper
published by the students of Cornell Uni
versity, at Ithaca, N. ", discourses as fol-
lows on the subject of Base Ball Play
ing:
Baseball, as played nowadays, differs
widely from the old-fashioned game.
Then a soft ball was used, and instead of
cutting man off at the bases, he was taken
on the wing between the bases. The catcher
thus was selected more for his accuracy in
throwing than in catching. II he could
stop ball with his shins, and hit man
between the bases, he was pronounced a
prodigy in baseball. and Immediately in.
stalled as catcher. Now ball is selected
harder than Nero's heart, so that il it hits
a man, it will knock his brains out, If he
happens to have any; il not it will, at
least, put him hors du combat They have
recently issued second edition to this one,
which is called dead BAD, meaning fatal to
the man it hits The next important
qualifications in the game are hard hands
and stiff fingers. If q man can shout vo-
ciferously, and yell Gittyr with gusto, he
is Immediately treated with a patronizine
air, and is given a place on the nine.
There is however, one man selected on &C
count of his yelling qualities, who seems to
be very important person in the game
When not otherwise engaged, he is yelling
regardless of pitch or stress, such things as
Downy! downyr climb 'leaver git!
hold THAR No one seems to pay atten-
ton to him; yet am told this yelling is
necessary. Another important person is
the umpire. His prerogative is unlimited.
He decides arbitrarily all questions which
arise, and may even decide the game be
fore it is commenced. Any appeal from
his decisions is considered great offence
He usually carries club to enforce his de
cisions. The pitcher is the funny man. lie
usually covers the ball with sand, rolls II
around two or three times gazes fondly
upon il, rlbs his left hand upon his trow.
scrs, gazes intently for "a few seconds in a
certain direction, tlen turns and throws
the ball in an opposite direction Mt man
standing near bag called base. II this
man catches the Lall, he shouts, How s
that. = while man standing near him tum-
bles down. Then all eyes are turned to.
wards the umpire. II he says 'Outr the
man who tumbled down gets up and walks
off with swaggcr Ii artistically done, /,
ELECTS applause from the. crowd If thu
umpire says Safe, the tumbler gets up
brushes off his clothes, walks three steps
from the base, and assumes u fiendish pos
turc, while the other man shakes his heao
and groyis. These acts seem TO be i'm
portant in the game. Thus they continu,
until they are tired when all rush to the
umpire, who shouts something which no
body understands, when they all commence
TO shout, probably trying to settle the game
by their abilities IA baici6rs As ! am not
a ballist myself, this may be an untru,
sketch but il is correct AS seen by a nov
ice in the national game
