CLUBMEN'S BIG GAME.
ALTA AND UNIVERSITY ATHLETES
TO MEET ON THE DIAMOND.
Names of the Star Performers Made
Public at Last-They Are Great
Ball Syvatters.

The Herald this morning is able to
print the names of the men and their
positions, for the baseball game next
week between the University and Alta
clubs and they will be found below.
The game has been the principal
topic of conversation in the clubs for
the last few days, and although the
names of the men have been kept quite
a secret, they leaked out yesterday,
and with them several little incidents
and predictions which are reproduced.
In the list appears the name of Nc
Kay. Some think that it means
Archie, others claim that it is Roy, and
there are others who are positive that
the sporting editor of the Trib-other-
wise "Badger"-is the man, but the
knowing ones just wink that off eye.
The fact that Judge Mckay has been
seen training daily on the south side
of the park looks a little suspicious,
and besides he isn't eating anything
but a little soft egg, milk toast and
rare steak.
Among the disappointed candidates
for the position of shortstop is Major
Hill. The major has been working
earnestly, abstaining from everything,
and promising anything, but he was
mercilessly blackballed.
Joe Gallagher wanted to play, but the
committee said no. They explained to
him that he wasn't strong enough, but
that he could carry the water bucket.
The only reason they gave for letting
him carry the bucket was that it con-
tanned nothing but water
P. H. Lannan was thought of in the
Alta team as a possibility for behind
the bat, but he absolutely refuses to
wear a plaid vest, and as there is no
other way to- get check why it's all
off,
Dick Macintosh is almost a GER
tainty for umpire. Richard is used to
having his own way, is rather
muscular. and has a good pair of
lungs. John Marshall made try for
third base, but his rheumatism said no.
and SO he and George NJ. Scott will
take care of the bats. Captain Noble
and Lieutenant Cowles might stand a
good show for the position of pitcher,
If they would run the razor over the
upper position of their osculating ap-
paratuses, but the management feels
that in the necessary curves and
twfrls devolving upon the position, the
ends would become intangled and stop
the play.
AS for those who will play they are
daisies.
There isn't a thin man on either
team as may be seen by this:
Shapely Harry Duke on first, Adonis
Adrian Ellis pitch. the boy with the
flowing locks Ed Scott on third, and
handsome Westie in the field.
Girls, it will be the treat of a life
time, and you mustn't miss it.
The Smith Brothers will be the Alta
stars.
Wayne although off his base most of
the time will be strictly on second, and
Kent the browny lad from Eureka will
hold down centerfield in his customary
credirable way
Charlie Stanton, Oh, what a thrill
that name produces. He will leave his
sanctum under the mayors music box,
and beneath the sweltering sun of our
Italian sky will stay right with the
leather in centerfield
1t is quietly said that one of the
selectmen has promised to enter every
home run of his ON the mileage book
providing e gets 'a1f'' They're a
little afraid of Nye. He's ON first base.
and 1t is a question whether or not
he'll go TO sleep dreaming loves young
dream.
After great deal Of coaxing, and
persuasion, the services of a very dis
tinguished gentleman have been en-
SeDSeu IOI the Alta. S centert1edd. 1t is
no less person than the Hon. Rich
ard Callium the New York club man"
who has had big offers from the lead
ing clubs of the country
Graceful enhancing, fairulike
George Downey will play shortstop
and handsome Bert Holden has con-
sented to do the catching
