paths and the Homeopaths of Mime
apolis for the championship of the
Northwest
Each club had separate pail ont of
which they drank when in need of
anything in that line. The Homeo-
paths took theirs at third dilution
every twenty minutes out of "gradu-
ate" and the Allopaths drank out of q
large tin dipper until relieved.
presume the different players would
not care to have me use their names
here, and so L will substitute fictitious
names.
DIR. Gray wore drab small clothes, q
light high hat with wide black band
and long ashes-of-roses mohair buster,
held III place by means of a string.
Dr. Windymeier wore a blue flannel
sailors suit, with inhamed revers of
same.
DR.. Pendergast wore low-neck and
short-sleeve knit lingerie, with check
cred pantaloons, and q wad of tulle at
the throat He wore q tarpaulin hat
and no ornaments.
Dr.. Blocker wore n 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.
Dr. Early wore q street costume,
with tireman's hat and varioloid necktie
Dr. Pangborn wore a Prince Albert
coat, knickerbockers and fore-and-a ait
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 a. the third innings appeared
in stellated, comminuted confusion
just east of the parotid gland.
DIR. Pomberthy wore q 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
ond. In batting, DIR. Pemberthy almost
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.
DR.. Mclean was dressed in q loose
fitting suit of pajama, with high-top
rubber wading boots, which DIR.
Hunter filled partially full of rain
water by means of q stomach pump,
which he found i'll the ambulance.
This water, rising and falling with
wild, rushing noise while DIR. Mclean
was making his bases, reminded me- of
the gentle squeak made by the third
stomach of CRASHED horse as he
goes joyously ateld.
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 ii DIR.
Lannigan had The ball, for he never
failed to raise Il two-quart blister on

death. | told DIR. Lannigan it was no
alb, oluteiy necessary, accord ng to the
rulings of the Land Commissioner,
that 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 IL good deal of ill-feeling,
though at heart good man and very
successful physician.
The game was called at 3 o'clock,
and, with two large shingles to keep
tally on, told the boys to sail in.
DIR. Mills, Of the Allopaths, went
first to la. He was dressed simply in
a suit Cf blue flannel, with richly
beaded moCcasins and high-crowned.
stiff, black, shiny straw hat. He spat
on both hands, then caught up a quart
of sand, which h. applied to the handle
of the bat, breathad in all the air be-
tween himself and the center fielder,
askt d for an abdominal ball, and got
SO near what he requested that it was
some time before | could signal Mr..
Conklin to go on with the game. He
was given his base on balls, | believe,
and made home run in the ambu-
lance. When he got in he tailed and
took a bismuth powder that would have
settled the stomach of a whole livery
stable
Dr. Dixon then came to the bat. He

aside from a society emblem of solid
gold attached to his watch chain,
which weighed two or three pounds
He asked for a clavicle ball, which he
missed by a right smart. The pitcher
prescribed another capsule for him,
which he struck ut 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

and this time he swatted the ball so
high that it was Il glorious chance for
the center-tielder to get under it, 0s il

down as straight as shot, but the
center-tielder was just fitting Il new
stopper to his stethoscope, which he
had lost ont on his way to the
grounds, and so muffed it, rs we would
say.
