md he selected 70: his assistant Maurice
Langhofns. looking to that gentleman for
advice on knotty points. Ike Hayes was on
hand also, but fortunately hts services were
not needed. Those who attended the game
in the expectation Of sseinR . lot OF horse
play were mistaken. The members of both
teams played for victory. and there was not
player who would do the same amount OF
work In his profession for $1OO. The very
fact that the players were thoroughly in
earnest resulted In . grsnt deal Of sport.
Dr.. Trsacy, in an attempt to put q man out
At nrst. slipped and turned almost complete
somsrsault to the delight Of the crowd. In
the same inning Judge Bach made savage
drive at the ball. missed II and rolled over
and over In the dirt TO tho great detrirnsnt
OF handsome spring suit. The only man
in uniform was Attorney Barrows, who
wore red shirt with the legend ''Ubst" on
the breast. Attorney CavanauRh struck u
the ball with the evident intention OF
knocking IL over the fence. The bat slipped
out Of his hands and landed In the crowd
ranged along the diamond. Another time
DR.. Barbour struok the ball with great
force. and it hit young man on the
head hard enough to be heard on the
grand stand. The lawyers had J. U. 6an'
iers in the right field. In the ffth. whom IL
was his tn n at the bat. Col. W. F. sanders
got to first. BY cautious playing hs got

his side, and it is an even bet that he will
not be able to lift his right hand to his
head to-day. A. ]. Craven held down the
second bag in great shape for his side. as did
doctors. Despite the fact that DR.. Perrin
was the etoutsst player among the

sprinter as DR.. Pleasants who runs more TO
length. DR.. Leiser was fairly careful Of
