Cañon City record., 1898-06-30
THE ORANGE OR THE RED.
to be Played at an EARLY
Date Next Month.

sional men of the town.
j. e. Keefe, who gathers up the
scraps at the st. Cloud dining room,
will be captain of the north side, and
Billy Peabody, the fellow who washes
bottles and rolls pills for Hunter
Palmer, will lead the south sides.
Keefe is an old time base ball player,
having had more experience than
most people want. The last game he
played he holloed SO much that his
lower jaw was broken in two places
and fortunately for the st. Cloud
boarders Keefe couldn't talk for near
thirty days. 1t was thought for a
while that he would hardly survive the
shock, but thanks to careful nursing
and plenty of Mellin's food he was
brought through and will be a moving
spirit in the coming great game,
Mr.. Peabody's ability as base
ball player is not so well known, but
he is an excellent talker, and mans
lung power availeth much in base
ball game. Both Keefe and Peabody
come under the professional list.
The teams have not been made up
yet, but both captains are busy select
ing their men. The north sides will
have four distinguished professional
men on the list, namely, DR.. Wilber
I. Little, Judge James L. Cooper, Rev.
W. J. Fisher and Arthur Ryan Frisbie,
professional politician. Some are
disposed to think that it is hardly
necessary to have more on the north
side team than this quartette of cele-
brities, believing that doctor, law
yer, preacher and politician ought to
be able to down any combination the
south side can put up, but for the
sake of custom rather than need the
team will be composed of the usual
nine. While the others are lesser
lights they have some qualities to
recommend them. The nine will prob
ably include Way C. West, profess
sional printer and sprinter, A. C.
Brown, college dude, Frank McFar-
lane, fish liar, and Charlie Shaffer who
doesn't do much of anything but count
the money in the county treasury.
The south side have not yet ar
ranged their team and full nine has
not yet been selected. 1t will be
headed by Captain Peabody. Mr..
Blinco, the large man in A. Haas & Cos
clothing store, will be back stop,
short stop or something of that kind.
A. 7. fowler, the money changer
at BethePs will take prominent part
in some way, if it's only in telling how
it happened when their defeat is an
nounced. Lou Woods has been en-
gagged on this side in the hopes that
he may move his bill boards down in
the field to help stop some of the hard
hits DR.. Little proposes making.
Guy C. Silliman, whose first name is
against him. is all right and will do
some hard work while the others are
performing the gass act. W. L. Mil
Ter, the cigar man, will show them
that he is an expert in making things
to smoke. The balance of the nine
will be announced in a few days.
The game will be played back of the
academy on date to be determined
in the near future. Judge NJ. S. Bal
ley has been decided upon as the only
man of sufficient Judicial dignity to
act as umpire, and he has been unani-
mously elected-an honor the Judge
should certainly appreciate.
There will be no swearing or bet
ting near the diamond and no pink
lemonade sold on the grounds. Sher-
iff Hawkins has even consented to
keep out all shell games and kindred
delusions. Ii will be proper place
for gentlemen as well as for men and
women, and the management has de-
cided not to take up any collection.

RECORD for future announcements.
