While on his rounds this morning a
NEWS reporter was attracted by consider
able loud baseball talk in the lumber
yard OF f.. +. Carpenter Il Co., and upon
| Investigation he found that a game was
on between the Young Hustlers and the
Young Browns. That the teams were
known as young was no surprise as none
of the artists was over
II years old, but from the
language used the ages could be easily set
at 80. The only uniform was bare feet
and legs, which from the action was the
one adopted, for one bright little fellow
with a clean face, tan colored shoes and
stockings and a bright necktie, did not
seem to be one OF the chosen ones, and
was playing simply as n substitute. The
game was Witnessed by a large number of
the unemployed OF that vicinity, who
were seated on wide boards that lay In the
shade of the buildings and lumber piles
in the yard, and appeared to be as inter-
ested as If they were watching the Provi-
dence team wallop the Wilkesbarres.
