held in place by means of a string.
DIR. Windymeier wore blue flannel
sailors suit with infiamed reyers of
same.
Dr. Pendergast wore low-neck and
short-sleeve knit lingerie, with check
cred pantaloons, and wad of tulle at
the throat. He wore tarpaulin hat
and no ornaments.
DIR. Blocker wore q pair of Atwood
trousers, with wedge of shrimp pink
satin set in the back between his sus-
pender buttons; white, open-back shirt,
pin-stripe suspenders, and Alpine hat.

steamer hat of small blue and white
plaid: with squirrel-skin ear-tabs tied
roguishly over the top. He wore no
ornaments at the beginning of the
game, but at the third innings appeared
in stellated, comminuted confusion
just east Of the parotid gland.
DR.. Pomberthy wore tennis suit
with silk hat and crocheted slippers.
He made very fine appearance on the
beautiful green ball ground. but gem
orally persisted before he reached sec

always struck at the ball after the
catcher had it in his pocket, and he
always erred in diagnosing the general
direction of the ball, and his treatment
of it was visionary and theoretical in
the extreme. had to reprimand him
three times for these things publicly.
DIR. Mclean was dressed in q loose
fitting suit of pajama, with high-top
rubber wading boots, which DR..
Hunter filled partially full of rain
water by means of stomach pump,
which he found in the ambulance.
This water, rising and falling with
wild, rushing noise while DR.. Mclean
was making his bases, reminded me of
the gentle squeak made by the third
stomach Of a CRASHED horse as he
goes joyously atield.
DIR. Lannigan wore pair of spec
tacular pantaloons and percale shirt,
with his suspenders draped about his
waist. He also wore his own whiskers
and threw with great accuracy. Woe
to the man who got off his base if DR..
Lannigan had the ball, for he never
failed to raise two-quart blisterion
that man such as would make Old
Canthalides just fairly hate himself to
death. 1 told DR.. Lannigan it was not
absolutely necessary, according to the
rulings of the Land Commissioner,
that a player off his base could only be
put out by the actual production of
proud flesh and laudable pus, but he
couldn't seem to understand it, and SO
he created good deal of ill-feeling,
though at heart good man and very
successful physician.
The game was called at 8 o'clock,
and, with two large shingles to keep
tally on, l told the boys to sail in.
DR.. Mills, Of the Allopaths, went
first to bat. He was dressed simply in
. suit of blue flannel, with richly
beaded moccasins and high-crowned.

some time before I could signal Mr..
Conklin to go on with the game. He
was given his base on balls, I believe,
and made home run in the ambu-
lance. When he got in he tailed and
took bismuth powder that would have
settled the stomach of q whole livery
stable.
DR.. Dixon then came to the bat. He
was dressed in o morning costume Of
brown cheviot, with maroon faille fran
caise sleeve Innings, which had crooked
his linen in places, but did not hurt the
general effect. He wore no ornaments
aside from society emblem of solid
gold attached to his watch chain,
which weighed two or three pounds.
He asked for clavicle ball, which he
by right smart. The pitcher
prescribed another capsule for him,
which he struck at just few moments
before it got to him, and with such
force as to whirl him around on the
home plate with great violence. AS
soon as he had recovered from his gid
diness and vertigo I called time again,
and this time he swatted the bali so
high that it was glorious chance for
