8LoOMERS Play Ball.
The Boston Bloomer base ball girls
with their manager, private car, cook,
balls, clubs and other paraphernalia
were in town last Sunday and met the
local fans on the diamond out at the
county talr grounds in an exciting con-
test. The rain which fell at noon threat
ened to interfere with the game and
those who had money up wore long fac
es and were gloomy because there was
chance of golden opportunity to win a
stake, and now it was being soaked out
by the rain. But fate was kind, and be-
fore it was time to call the game the sun
shone. gloriously. A large crowd in
which there was quite liberal sprink-
ling of ladies, filled the grand stand
when time was called, and then the fun
commenced. Our boys expected walk
away but there we're these who enter
tanned doubts as to the correctness of
the proposition, and before the first in
ming was over the crowd was pretty we'll
convinced that the home team would
have to do their prettiest . beat the
fair representatives. of Americas intel
lectual hub. By the end of the seventh
inning the game stood four to nothing
in favor of the girls, and good judges of
skillful playing were betting odds on
the palace car dwellers.
But there is turn to every road and
in the eighth inning the brawny listed
damsels met with their Waterloo. Our
radiant boys Ian in five scores and were
awarded the game by decision of the
umpire. The girl who pitched for the
visitors was good and she succeeded in
striking out some of our best batters.
They pounded wicked holes in the air
in wild attempt to find the curving
sphere, but in vain. They could not hit
her. The girl who played short stop
also did fine work, but outside of these
two the team was weak when we except
two men of this team, one of whom
played first base and the other caught
behind the bat. None of the girls could
bat and the scores won by them was
due to the batting of the men who
played with them.
The Minneapolis Sons of Hermann
and their ladies came up here last Sun
day on a special train over the North
western road for the purpose Of enjoy
ing a picnic day at our beautiful Her
man park. We understand that the pic
nic was held as financial benefit to the
Minneapolis lodges. At about half past
twelve o'clock the train bearing the vis-
itors pulled in under circumstances not
at all cheerful and encouraging. When
the jolly excursioners left their own ci-
ty the sun was shining brightly and gave
promise of one of the splendid Septem-
Der days known only tc Minnesota, but
when within about an hour of their des-
tination the sky became clouded and a
constant drizzle accompanied them from
that time on until they arrived here and
there was even then no prospects of
brighten hours to follow, but contrary
to expectations the afternoon turned out
to be an ideal one and smiles took the
place of the frowns that had previously
appeared upon the faces of the disap-
pointed delegation. The park surround
ing the statue of the illustr1ous Hermann
was sought by some 200 people who
came on the train and by number of
home people. The Second Regiment
band furnished music to the delight of
all. Refreshments were served and in
da'ged in, while speeches and improv-
ised fun made the afternoon pass pleas
antly, and no one regretted having come
even if it did rain.
