Spencer, Aug. 2S.-At last the great
game Of ball is over and the BARRIERS
have won. To the surprise of every one
on the grounds and to the BARRIERS
themselves, they batted out victory,
when at first it was thought that the
bakers We're all in a class by themselves
when being compared with the BARRIERS,
as the BARRIERS were thought to be easy.
The antics of many of the BARRIERS
and bakers We're amusing. The BARRIERS
took the field dressed in white barber
coats; the bakers were dressed in their
white baking clothes and with their
white cornered caps presented quite a
natty appearance.
II was 2.45. when Umpire Ed. Mcguire
called, play ball." The bakers were at
bat, While the jolly BARRIERS trotted out
into the field, as frisky as young colts,
but what difference there was in the
movements of some of the hair cutters
When the game was over.
Some walked with a limp gait that
drew forth peals of laughter from the
crowd, But despite all the aches and
pains the BARRIERS were joyous over
their great victory.
In the first inning the bakers cracked
out three runs, and the BARRIERS fol-
lowed suit. In the next inning the
bakers got five runs, and again the bar
bers folio owed suit.
The gang was becoming interesting,
as every one thought that it would be
close to the end, but in the next inning
the bakers went out in one, two, three
| order, while the BARRIERS worked and
netted three runs for their team, max
| ing the score lis in favor of the bar
bers.
The bakers went in to crack out as
many runs as possible for the next in
ming but again the clever pitching OF
sorrel retired the bakers without q
run. The BARRIERS met with the same
fate in their half of the inning.
The next inning the bakers again fail
ed to score, but the BARRIERS brought in
one run by errors of the bakers, IT
this inning Simon Ryan, first basemar
of the BARRIERS team, distinguished
himself by hitting the ball when he
didn't know it, and letting his bat fly
with the ball, nearly striking Pitcher
Snow of the bakers.
In the next inning the bakers scored
one run by hard work, but the barber:
surprised the dough-mixers in theil
| half of the inning by getting 10 runs
/ Snow of the bakers was batted hard
and a relieved expression came ovel
his face when the inning was ended
| In the next inning the bakers wert
| shut out, and the BARRIERS were like
wise, although the duties of Querie 0.
the BARRIERS, who weighs 1877 pounds
and is feet inches tall, attracted th(
! attention of the crowd
In the next inning the bakers wen
| in to try and dig out of hard hole
but although they netted four runs, thu
BARRIERS went in and cracked out nin'
runs, to the dismay of the bakers anC
the JOY of the BARRIERS. In the ninth
| the bakers were shut out, and the bar
bers were so tired that they did no
| play their half of the inning.
| The features of the game were the
coaching of Cournoyer who was telling
every one else how to play, but struck
out four times; the running of 1877
pound Querie, which caught the eyes OF
the crowd. Cournoyer had a poor eye
as he could never find the ball in lef'
field when it was wanted; the hit Of
Peltier when three men were on bases
and the way in which Howe drove thf
ball into the stomach of a small boy or
the side lines The pitching of Sorre
of the BARRIERS was another feature, as
was the work of Crowley, Bouthiette
| Cartier, Girouard and Ryan. Kittredge
at short was dismal failure and was
transferred to second base.
| A bakers cart was on the field as ar
ambulance, but the only one injured
was Arthur Girouard Of the bakers, who
lhad his finger split
| Tonight the BARRIERS will eat turkey
supper at the expense Of the bakers
| The score:
