The herald., 1893-07-03

ubiquitous and kittsnish as he was "a
years ago, and frisked and gsmboled
over the diamond in great form.
Kid Hulen was not there. He was sud-
denly taken i'll before the game, but sent a
dear faxen-hsired cousin just from the
Fatherland as his substitute. The old
girl was put in to catch and showed she
was there for that purpose. Her dark
green dress, and stockings that were
white in bye gone days, harmonized
most equisitely with the pale electric
light. Her complexion was there, but
she had cracked it in six places by the
second inning.
Peter Lohman looked radiant (this is
in reference more particularly to his
whiskers) as the fine old Irish gentle-
man. A sort of Roger de Coverley,
one whose manners are charming and
whose language ia energetic. He wore
white knee pants and red tail hunting
coat. When he was around he looked
after third base.
Buck Hughes was the clown. He
had nice, cute, little movement to him
when his back was to the crowd and
took Immediately. Hewas everywhere,
except where John Brink's brindle pup
was, and when the three came together
Hughes Skinned up an electric pole.
Hutchinson was Swede. He looked
as radiant as did Ole Olsen when he had
cleaned out the bunco men. Hutch
was around and proved quite gallant to
the ladies of the outfit.
Lytlo marched along dressed in scar
let garments. He was quite modest
and wore long dresses. He was cute,
Little Red Riding Hood minus the hood.
A green sun-bonnet did just as we'll.
Pap had a fine way of running. He ran
just like woman crossing a crowded
street-with his skirts out of the way.
Sunday was old Rastus. Mr.. Jackson
Coon, il you please. He looked we'll,
but would have appeared to more ad'
vantage in the dark. So would they all
for the matter of that.
Glenalvin was cleverly disguised as
Chinaman, the poor, abused individual
of the Pacific coast. He wore a sad
look in his eyes, that were not almond.
but If ever there was strong argument
found for the enforcement of the Geary
act the heathen of the last nights ball
field was that one.
But the old standby and play-fsllow OF
all nations and races was there, namely
Mephisto. Borchers deputised himself
as old Balzebub and during the game
demonstrated his ancient authority, ae
king of the flies.
All of them looked like the devil, but
wouldn't acknowledge it 30 readily as
did Borchers. But to return to the pro-
cession. After the foregoing conglomer-
alton of what nots, came the Stockton
team in regular uniform. Then the col
ored gentlemen, who competed in the
potato race.
After marching around for a while the
whole shooting match formed in review
before the grand stand and Manager
Lindley stopped brushing the dust from
his borrowed coat, long enough to an
nounce that they now intended to give
the first game OF baseball ever played by
electric light on the Pacific coast. OF
course the fellows whom AL had
let in for the purpose, cheered and
cried, Hear! Hear!" several times,
and the game then began.
John Brink and his brindle pup stood
out by the pitcher, while Gene Maxwell
was over by irst base.
1t would be impossible to describe any
of the decisions. the only object OF the
umpire being to make it hoss
and hoes. And thty did it,
too. AS borle:qls the game
