YESTERDAYS BASEBALL.

The Students Mop the Prairie with the
city B0ys-Remarks by the Audi
ence.
Yesterdays game Of baseball between
the students OF Yabkton college and the
Yankton city nine, was q very interest
ing game 30 far as the excitement at
tendant upon such an event is concerned,
while as an exhibition OF science and
muscle il was rather short. The stu
dents literally mopped up several acres
of pasture with the city boys. The game
opened by q remark from Pat Magner,
who had been chosen umpire. He said
that he would pound the baseball rules
of 1883 into the head of the first man
who kick ed on o decision or called him q
liar. Then q passer by remarked 'see
these woishippers OF padded calves" The
calves In the town herd did not appear
to be padded, so the reporter concluded
that the remark alluded to the lower
limbs of some of the players, But this
is a delicate subject and SO we're some OF
the cslves under discussion. The first
striker struck out. So did the second.
Then a sympathiser with the town boys
yelled %"rats," and the brow of the col
lege nine captain darkened. The third
striker s'pssted the sphere" squarely
and the center fielder for the city nine
d%islocated his eye Watching it on ita airy
flight. He muffed it and a college
sympathizer yelled ''~ohestnuts.'
The striker however had reached
home by this time, and q perfect howl
OF delight went up from the crowd. In
this inning three scores were made and
the town boys looked disguised.
The second inning was played amidst
vooiterous applause from q parcel Of
college young ladies who occupied seats
in the grand stand provided Oh an ad-
jacent hillside by nature
In the third inning a player who is
long on legs and short on science made
a play which was almost crowned with
success. He chased q foul fly for some
distance and then failed to catch it
He did not seem to care very much IN,
til some one said: sob il his legs haG
only been longer" This remark seemed
to hurt his feelings and he walked bach
to his position with an humble mier
most pitiful. This inning resulted il
favor of the students.
And 30 on through the game. TIL.
students were mascotsed by one OF til,
faculty who stood behind the oatchei
and watched the playing. His presence
there may have been the reason Tor tn,
small amount of a%pologetio expletive

however was heara to say gracious
when he received a belt in the ear from

thing about it. At the wind up tn
score stood twenty for the students an
ten for the city boys.
