In our second sketch familiar scene TO

lucky strike. has just driven the ball far
TO field and stands fair chance of making
a home run. The central figure has just
been resting on second, but as the ball
leaves the bat he lights out for third, and
with hat off. neck-tie flying and stockings
at half-mast, he seems to be putting good
deal OF spirit into the effort.

extreme measures resOrted to by the enthu-
siastic player in order to reach a desired
Dase when hard-pressed. In this instance

pearances he will get there. Though
be may plow up the soil for several feet
with his classic features, he Will probably
get there, and after splitting out a whole
section of the third base will demand judg-
ment in piping voice and torn knlcker-

The fourth cut shows few members Of
one of our popular mines indulging in lit
tie practice before the game is called. The
man on second base has Just had sky ball
Knocked his way. He has evidently es
sayed to catch it, but through miscalcula-
ton or something or other he has failed to
use the members which nature has pro-
vlded him with for that rs well as other
purposes, and has effectually, though ig-
ANONYMOUSLY, caught it on his olfactory Or
gan.
In the final drawing an attempt has been
made TO portray one of those uncomfortable
mlshaps which sometimes happen to the
over-zealous catcher In his anxiety to pick
a foul off the strikers bat, he has uncon-
seiOusly played little too near the home
plate. and got side swipe with the oaken
bat which is likely to cause him to see all
the stars in the armament, and goodly por-
tion of the milky way besides.
The umpire of n baseball game is a genius
who always raises our admiration to the
highest pitch. He is usually one of those
gifted individuals who have faculty of
assuming a thinkful air while really en-
gagged in something else. Many devices
have been suggested for his safety from an
irate nine after decision unfavorable to
them. One which should recommend itself
to every umpire of note is a heavily rivet-
ed steel cage with strong wire front, which
may be suspended from a pole about ten
feet from the ground and just back of the
catcher. In this the umpire may smoke his
cigar, drink lemonade and render decisions
with perfect impunity and an unblemished
Visage. FREMONT WOOD.

times when they played ball on the old

"They don't play ball nowadays as they

OF the nature OF license than OF a lease and al
though securing TO themselves a right to fish the

others for fishing in it, This could only be done by
the actual owners OF the soil, and these had not
