| The " Gum Chewtrs" of North Hyde Park
went to Lowell last Saturday and played ball
| with the Lowell league nine. Greenwood of
| Lowell and Whttemore Of Eden acted as UNI
! piIes and they decided in favor of the "Gum
| Chewers," 6 to 5. The weather was fine, at
| tendance good and everything passed off
| pleasantly. Quite a number went from this
| place and some from East Johnson. Fred
Howard of johnson, with his assistant, Herb
| Stearls, performed some acrobatc feats that
| were not only wonderful but intensely sub
| lime, tricks that mortal man never tried to
| perform before, to an uDappreciative audi
| ence.
! By agreement the Lowell league nine are to
| play bali with the Gum Che wers" at North
| Hyde Park next Saturday, the 7th inst, the
| weather being favorable. Admission for
| gents, 10 cents; ladies and children free.
Peeping through the stone wall by the road
si5e,s strictly forbidden. The Lowell boys
are expected to bring their horns and furnish
the music. Professor Howard and assistant
| are expected to be present with the trained
| Bronchos and perform as occasion demands.
| The Johnson boys will be assigned their
parts on arrival. 1t is expected that this
will be the last game of the season, as we
| know of no more victories to win or foes to
| conquer. The weather is also liable to be IN
favorable for ball playing later.
What came near being a No. smashup
occurred on Cobb street last Saturday about
| noon. Three single teams, loaded with four
| ladies and three or four small children, got
mixed up, as is usual with lady teamsters,
resulting in dumping two of the wagons with
contents and breaking the spokes out of one
| wheel, besides other damages. The horses
took to kicking some, but not to hit any
thing seriously They simply took up tine
time so the ladies would not get to scJlding
or blame each other for the accident, as ladies
do in such cases. No one was injured in the
least and they did not have time to be scared.
| We withhold names, for the reason that we
don't wish to say anything that would be
detrimenG cal to the ladies as first-class team
sters. We think the government in the in
| terests of expansion and civilization, should
at once have Cobb street widened, making it
100 feet in width instead of so, as it now is.
1t would be quite as beneficial to the public
! welfare as the free delivery system which Con
| gresham Powers advocates. 1t has been a
long time since the government has expended
any money in the interests of civilization or
in public improvements in this vicinity. 1t is
q grand opportunity for our present M. G. to
make himself conspicuous ana his constitu-
ents happy.
