Truth.
The great international game of ball
between the fats and leans of
Caldwell, came off last Sunday after
noon as per program. Quite an en-
thusiastic audience had congregated
in the grand stand to see the con-
test. Near the gate was a large
barrel labeled "Arnica" from which
was suspended a white wash brush.
Promptly at 2 o'clock p. m. the fats
appeared on the ground in gorgeous
uniforms of large figured calico and
white caps. The leans soon after
made their appearance. They were
dressed in tights and wore black kits.
Judge Beatty was selected umpire and
J. M. Carter scorer. The game was
long and desperate and resulted in a
tie. After FIVE hours of solid playing
the score stood As to As, and neither
side seemed very anxious to continue.
A supper had been ordered at the
Pacific hotel, to be paid for by the
losing nine and several bets were up
on the result. The bets were declared
off and everybody paid for his own
supper. The leans did better field
work and base running, but the fats
were handler with the wagon tongue.
There was no feature about the game
except laughable errors which kept it
from being tiresome. Umpire Beatty
was armed with gun yard long and
bowie knife and settled all disputes
with neatness and dispatch. We
recommend the Judges methods to
professional umpires and guarantee
satisfaction in every case. The only
bad results from the game is eighteen
of the sorest mortals who ever attempt
Ell to walk, but this is more than over
balanced by the stimulating effect it
has had on the drug trade. The town
is threatened with liniment famine.
Cakes Bros Oxford ties are corn dis
couragers.
