THE LAWYERS DOWNED.
The Lawyers and a team from the
Capital City Bluerock Club played
game at Agricultural Park yesterday
morning for an oyster supper, and the
smashers of bluerocks will dine at the
expense of the disciples of Blackstone.
The game was hotly contested, and
was fine exhibition for the first five
innings, the score being S to 6 in fa-
vor of the Lawyers at the end of the
fifth inning In the sixth Pitcher Sui
livan was knocked out of the box by
the trap-shooters, who scored runs un-
til they got weary.
After the second run had been scored,
Manage Captain Johnson of the Law
yers went over and interviewed Assist
ant Manager and First Lieutenant
Happy LaRue, and they discussed
the outlook When the third man
scored LaRue visited Johnson's terri
tory, and they held another talk. When
the fourth man scored, each started for
the other, and they almost decided to
change their twirler
The fifth run found Hiram again
in Happy's" field, but before they
could decide just what to do August
YOerk drove a high fly far beyond the
left-fielder and scored home run,
bringing in three men ahead of him.
Happy" and Hiram held another in
terYieW, and the latter took Sullivan's
place in the box. He drove the bali
with all the force of which he was
capable, but it was no use, the Blue
rock boys kept scoring and ran up run
after run, until fourteen men had cross
ed the plate, when they were retired.
"Curly-Locks' Hughes pitched the
last inning for the Lawyers, and two
more runs We're scored by the shooters,
the dnal score being - to 9 in favor
