The Courthouse crowd and q picked nine
under the above titles played q most en-
joyable game Of ball yesterday afternoon.
The contest was not begun before 8 o'clock,
owing to the heavy rain which preceded it,
butahe shower placed the grounds in ex-
cellent condition and cooled off the atmos-
phere to a delightful degree. Notwith-
standing the report that the game had been

ladies'. The Courthouse team appeared in
q new and gaudy uniform, representing
. number OF brilliant ~colors. and fitting as
snugly as a petticoat thrown over a stick.
The handsomest and most conspicuous
costume, however, was worn by Assistant
District Attorney, John T. Baker. who
bore the initials Of the Inirmary on his
back, and proved himself to be one Of the
most graceful and experienced players on
the field. The game was marked by a Wig
orous earnestness, particularly on the part
OF Chapman, the snipe hunter, whose sci

characterized by any amount OF fun and

A MEAN WOMAN.
She Plays q Shabby Trick ON the
Physicians.

She Plays q Shabby Trick ON the
Physicians.
Carson Appeal: There lives in Carson
a lady of considerable culture and educa.
ton who is almost constantly in the hands
Of the physicians. Now nothing pleases q
physician so much as to call on a lady and
talk about.her ailments in the elevated
and sky-scraping language Of the profess
sion. How q man can get q sick woman
alone in q room and smother her in Latin
and Greek is q great mystery, but they will
do it. For some months the lady was ut
terly at the mercy Of the doctors, and
could only sit with her mouth open and
stare helplessly in reply. As she had con-
siderable leisure time on her hands, she
finally determined to study up the medi-
cal terms, and in q few months she could
call blood poisoning pyemia as easy as
anybody, and designate the shin bone by
at least five different technical names.
The other morning her physician called
and began describing the Presidents
wound, the ourse Of the ball and methods
Of treatment. The lady, fortified at every
point, Joined with animation in the con-
versation, and when the Presidents inju-
ries were exhausted as a topic, she launch
ed off in an airy disquisition on other
wounds, and showed that she not only
perfectly understood her callers language,
but was able to scatter medical phrases all
over the apartment. The doctor departed
an hour earlier than usual, and has since
alluded to the lady as a very eccentric per-
son and disagreeable conversationalist.
