cur next Friday afternoon at 4 O'Clock,
between the mines, composed, one Of the
stout men, ard the other of those of
fewer pretensions to corpulency, bids
fair to be the event of the sporting sea-
son. DR.. Kendrlck, who is captain of
the lean mems nine, and lord high exc.
,cutioner Of the entire affair, has picked
out and arranged the two teams, and
verify have two mighty hosts been
selected to combat for honors on the
diamond. Both in physical perfection
and in baseballic imperfection are the
two mines indispensable. The flowers
of the city's masculine population, meta
phorically speaking, will be plucked for
the occasion. And the game will be one
of those which shall be handed down in
song and story from generation to
generation.
The lean nine will be a most imposing
aggregation. Landlord Green of the
Custer house, will pose behind the bat,
and scoop the rollicy twisters from the
atmosphere. Observer Fallon will take
a brief rest from his duties in the wea.
Their line, and twirl the leathern sphere
inmystic and hazy curves. First base
will be held in place by the local archi-
tect Of the TRIBUNE, and the tall and
Apollo like form of DR.. Edwards will
loom up in the vicinity of the second.
Editor Jewell will occupy a prominent
position on third. and the sylph like
physique of J. T. Mcdonald, will fill up
the space between second and third al
Ioted to the short stop. DR.. Kendrick
will occasionally bob up above the hori-
zon out in right field, and be prepared
to amputatethe wings of every fly which
ZONES his way; Frank Warehouses;
classic visage will cause many opera
glasses to be directed out to left field,
and w. B. Llvermore will corral the un-
ruly balls which meander out toward
center.
OF the fat men, too, they are a weighty
throng. M%onsignor Grigor will nab the
occasional balls which are missed by
the lean ones when at bat, and Mayor
Allen will twirl the zig-zag curves with
Il proficiency only attained by long and
varied experience in the city council.
The cherubic face of Operator Detcher
will appear to greet the strikers who
reach first base, and A. L. Carey will oc-
c%asionally assume a recumbent posture
to guide the runners to second; the thin,
spare anatomy of A. G. William will
glisten on third, and Frank Reed will
amble gracefully about the short stops
corner. J.H. Holt, w. A. Falconer and
DR.. +. r. Smith will field the balls
which escape the watchful infield.
Besides these players, there are N. F..
Boucher, E. S. Beardsley, w. A. Dillon,
Lieut.. Day, X. j. Nomland, w. T. Per-
kins, Dick Penwarden and r. H. Tenny,
who will be allowed the liberty of the
grounds, and be called upon to replace
the dead and wounded as they are
carried from the field. Should the
mortality among the players be extraor-
binary, the sheriff will summon a special
panel of citizens to 6aish out the game.
Several rules have been adopted, and
might as we'll be laid down now as at
any time. Positively no kodaks. will be
allowed on the grounds, by special re-
quest of all the players. This is to pre-
vens photographs OF the players in Co.'S
tune getting abroad. The committee
on arrangements has provided for the
presence of an ambulance and expert
enced surgeon, whose charges for the
amputation of disabled limbs, or the ex-
traction of base balls from any portion of
the anatomy will be one half the regular
rates. Life insurance agents will be
permitted for the nonce to roam un-
confined among the throng, and policies
may be taken out by players whenever
there is a dispute wei the decision of
the umpire.
The game is not to last longer than
- o'clock midnight, in any case, even if
IT has to be called at the end of the third
inning. Neither nine shall make more
.nan ten consecutive runs, without maxi
ing an out, otherwise the side shall be de-
clared out. Home runs, except to
notify relatives of the unexpected de-
mise Of a player, shall be barred. Any
player who shall meet with amishap and
10 not able to respond to his name
within ten seconds, shall be carried from
the grounds, and his place be filled by a
substitute.
Notwithstanding the superior per:
torrance to be put upon the boards, the
.erms OF admission to the grounds will
10 the same as usual. Persons
whose hearts are easily affected, should
consider fully the danger from heart
iallure during the intense excitement.
tttvening dress may he dispensed with, at
'ne pleasure Of the spectators.
