Fort Douglas Browns Defeat the
Jubilee Team.
CIVILIANS WERE NOT IN IT
THE SCORE STOOD TWENTY ONE
TO SIX.
Jubilee Boys Demonstrated Their
Right to Retire From the Diamond
Cannot Play Ball Little Bit.

If the Jubilee nine ever had any illu1ni-
nations their lights went out yesterday
on the dusty, sun-baked diamond at Fort
Douglas. At the end of the melancholy
and depressing conflict, the Jubilees were
as much defunct in baseball way as is
the luminous celebration which they were
| created to represent.
PLAYED LIKE FARMERS
But there was a difference in the man
ner of the demise. for instead of going
down amid belching cannon and meteors
OF flashing light, as the celebration did.
rhe Jubilees simply went up against the
soldier nine and were eaten up.
SCORE TELLS TILE STORY.
The glaring score of n to tells the
story of the game eloquen4y- The Jubi-
lees We're unable to rap the ball with the
willow; they could not grip the bail hard
enough 10 make a decent obstruction TO
its progress, and, lastly, there seemed to
be no method in their madness. When q
ShortStop throw was necessary, the Jubi-
lees FEEDERS developed tremendous vital
lty as to the forearm, and seemed 10 have
designs against the peace of mind of vis-
ltorS at Mount OliVet. They missed flies,
missed opportunities, and would have
missed the ground if they had fallen on it.
The Jubilees have someone on third base
with very pretty and revere style OF
figure, and the assumption is that ne was
placed there on account of his very lovely
and sartorially perfect aspect Neverthe-
less, Paul Revere Barnes. nOtWithStand-
ing his distinguished beauty, was not
even popular with the ladies. for ne grace
fully and unerringly eluded every ball that
came near him and almost collapsed with
the bat in mis- hands every time Richards
swung a curve towards him. he IS the
only really pretty man in the Ju01leeS,
but some of the others yesterday devel-
oped almost equal adeptness in getting on
the lea side of flies and pitched balls.
KIDDFyR HIT HARD
Kidder's saIlies with the ball were also
not as successful as usual. The husky.
Browns greeted his pitching in very
familiar way and spread out 10 runs from
his curves. including one home run.
knickerbocker was absent and OStleri
was away, and that may have furnished
some cause for the. drubbing. Jones
acted behind tine rapping stick, and tilled-
the roll satisfactory, but his presence
there left gap which had TO be nlled by
thurman. who seemed TO be better
adapted for joining a troupe of Arab
jugglers than playing the national sport.

and professional way, and did the most
gingery work of the team.
JoLLIED THE JUBILEES.
The thing which above all others filled
the Browns jibed them and threw their
hats in the air and made fecetious re-
marks. The Jubilees tried in vain TO dip
their fingers in the red gore OF revenge
On every part of the square they were
vrestled and routed.
And the JubIees started out auspic-
ously and after the first inning were
covered with the rose leaves Of promise.
