THEY PLAY AN ALLEGED GAME
OF BALL, AND HAVE PLEN-
TY OF OTHER FUN.
WHOLE DAY is GIVEN TO 1T.
knights Are Present From ST.
Paul, minneapolis, StiIIwa-
ter and Elsewhere.

Several thousand people from st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Saltwater
participated in the knights of Pyth-
las union picnic at White Bear lake
yesterday. The attendance was not
as large as had been expected, owing,
no doubt, to the number of other
attractions, particularly the cops
base ball game and Hibernians' pic
mic. a splendid programme of sports
was presented, including a base ball
game that would have done credit
to Manager Comiskey's aggregation.
The day was pleasantly spent, those
who did not care to witness the
sports, indulge in a r-r-r-r-s-s-s-s
down the tOboggan slide or to throw
eggs at a "colo'ed pusson" at the
rate of three for 10c, having an
opportunity to pass the time dancing
There was only two contestants
in the bicycle race from here to
White Bear. This was on account
of the rain the night before making
the road so heavy that but few of the
cyclers cared to put forth the exer-
ton required to pillow through the
mud. But Charles Maralius and
Z. Macarthur We're not to be baked
by little mud, and at the hour set
Tor starting, both reported for duty
at the East st. Paul station. A
large crowd had gathered to see
them off. Doc Whftcomb, who was
starter, and a friend who went out
to take care of his remains in case
However, Doc got them away with
n good start and plenty of mud, and
they still had the mud when they
reached Ramaley's pavilion at Lake
Shore forty-fiVe minutes later; Mara
Illus in the lead. The run has been
made in thirty-five minutes, so it
is evident that the road was in bad
condition.
But the gem of the day. was the
base ball game between nine knights
from the st. Paul and nine from
the Minneapolis lodges. Laconically,
the story is told as follows: Game,
two innings; score, ST. Paul %, Min
neapOlis 3; errors, St. Paul Is, Min
neapolis 102; time of game, 2:O91a.
torian, the story is extended so as to
include the names of the men who
composed the teams. They are as
follows: st. Paul-Claytor, F'ren-
ming, Jim Brandt, R. Malone, Jack
Sheridan, j. j. Holly, DR.. Whit
comb, A. G. Johnson and A. F. Hunt
Minneapolis Stahl, Will
son, GrindaIl, Hayes, Fournie, Muir
ply, F'leichinger and Waskuwich.
1t may be added that while the game
was in progress every man in each
team played every position, and it
was the unanimous verdict of the
rooters that he was just as good in
one as in the other. The game
would have lasted longer and the
score have been larger had there
been a different umpire, but just
think-a man from Saltwater filled
that honorable position. There were
some lively athletic contests.
The following is the result of the
athletic contests:
