Yesterday afternoon the game of
base ball between the newspaper men
and professional men was played on
the Mcconnell grounds. A very large
crowd was present and there was more
fun that is seen at a circus. The
first named club was first at bat and
/ the way they played ball was a eau
ton. The other side was not in the
game from the beginning, and it was
no wonder that they were defeated
easily. No great sensational plays
were made and the list of errors was
so large that the official scorer used
up all his paper, and then could not
keep trace of them. Manning and
Taylor were the battery for the news
paper men and Ewing and Bryson for
the professionals. Their work was
fair, but everybody was given a chance
to hit the ball and the fielders had
plenty to do. One or two home runs
were made, and to see some of the
made make the circuit of the bases
! was really funny. There was also
plenty Of kicking and on several occa-
sions it looked as though umpire Still
well would certainly have to be car
ried off the grounds. All kicks went
however, and as the game progressed
| they were forgotten. The profession.
ais, however, were very sore over their
defeat, and knowing the game was
lost to them tried to change their bat
tiers in the last inning. This was not
allowed { however, and after two men
were out the umpire had to- decide
that the third man was also out on
account of this move. 1t is said that
thew want another game. but ii has
rot been decided as yet whether to plav
the nine again or not, as it has been
clearly proven that they cannot trot
in the same class with the winners of
the contest. Following is list OF
