Said kids have been laying low, with blood in their eye. to meet our 'crack team" for some time now, they (the 1st nine) declining to stoop so low in their profession las they expressed it) as to engage in battle with so inferior an article, but finally consented, and a very large crowd of enthusiastic 'sspecs'' came out only to see our "crack nine" succumb to the "Jolly Kids" To say they were sick is putting it in mild form. They were beaten in well-played game; beaten despite Bosler's lament ing pleadings to the efficient umpire beaten despite Costigan's Jour Roger Connor, 1st baseman and batter) endea' vors to knock the cover off the ball. He didn't, but he did. the next best thing, usually flaming the air and then retiring in disgust. Boys, we are sorry, but the best thing we can do for you is to place the score before your eyes; then medi tate on it, and hereafter do not hold the opinions of yourselves so high, withou first stopping to think that you have much smaller brothers who are equal yes even superior, to you in the profes sion.

 The long delayed warm days, humid days, hot days, are here at last, and general discomfort is the rule.
 One thing to do about it is to have the feet properly clothed, for if the feet are cool the body will be cool also.
 Lay aside, therefore, all thick, heavy wear, get something low cut, thin, easy and soft, such as will soothe the pains and swelling in one extremity, while the wrinkles will be smoothed from the brow in the other.
 Russet Shoes will fill the bill for many purposes, Canvas for others. while Black and Patent Leather cannot be en- tirely dispensed with.
 But it should be borne in mind that ease and comfort cannot be fully ob- tained unless the Shoes are made on sci entific principles, so they will exactly fit the foot, and not. as is too often the case, the foot is made to fit the shoe.
 Such goods, gotten up specially to meet these points. can be found in great variety at our Store, as an inspection will verify, and we will take great pleas ure in furnishing to all good founda- tion for keeping cool.
