The baseball playing abilities Of the
aldermen and councilmen will undergo
supreme test at Savin Rock to-day,
and If the weather is as warm as it was
yesterday the number of innings during
which these abilities will be tested can
be conjectured.. This afternoon the an

members of the common council and
city officials and ex-city officials will be
present. The committee in charge has
planned this year to Guido all previous
affairs of the kind, and that they will
