sufferers at ScofieId will be played at
Walkers field this afternoon. the con-
testing mines being a picked aggrega-
ton from along the RialtO and a star
team from the B. p. o. E. Everything
Will be done to make it in every way
an enjoyable contest. Held's band viii
be at the grounds and viii render a
sacred concert during the progress Of
the play. As the cause is such wOr-
thy one, there surely ought to be the
biggest attendance of the year. PeO-
pie who have religious scruples against
attending a Sunday ball game have an
nOunced their intention of going to the
game today, as it means so much to
the afflicted people in the little mining
camp, if a handsome sum is realized
Everything connected with the game
has been donated and there will not
be a cent of expense. The promoters
accordingly expect it TO be one Of the
biggest games of the season, both in
point of attendance and in attractive
features. The same will start prompt
" at $3.50 O'Clock, with the following
lineup:
