Baseball in Watertown has pro b.
ably seen it's last days, at least for some
time to come. The members of the as
sociation that leases the grounds and
owns the fences, stands and other per-
sonal property, are contemplating tear
ing down the same and disposing OF

baseball in this locality. Where in
former years the games were patron
lied by hundreds of people, the crowds

eorporal's guards in comparison, and
of course lack of patronage has
brought the once popular National
game into state probably beyond re-
suscitation.

guished but a few short years ago.
The men who have donned the con-
gressional garments of such men as
Gen. Bragg, Charley Eldredge and
many other able men since their time,
present sorry spectacle when sized
up in comparison. The bill to appro-
pirate $4,000 to erect a postoffice
building at Watertown is the thinnest
sort of blind, done by Barwig to
tickle his Watertown constituents, and
make them solid for MIN in his effort
