The one thing about Arthur Jobuson
that attracted the attention of the
crowd was his uniform, n conspicuous
part Of which were his socks. The said
socks made Johnnie's calves look like
stick candy, and lie was called the
man with the candy legs. Johnnie's
friends might have forgiven him for
tho candy sock deal, but the other
parts of his uniform caused the worst
to be feared at NIL times during the
game. He wore pair of blue pajamas
cut off mt the knees and from his waist
Up was attired in a pair of red sus-
penders. This made q very cool uni
form, but proved unsatisfactory when

quitOS started to hold their annual
lawn fete on Johnnie's back.
Members of the DENNY team, who
deserve honorable mention are Smith
Costigan and G. Harter. Harter was

ball during the game. There was just

man, all at one time. He made n
great double play, too-catching the
ban on his head, and then catching it
again In the stomach when 1t returned
from bouncing off his head. Smith did
some very clever work in dodging the
ball. 1t never touched him in center
field
Rice made n marvellous slide for
third, and would doubtless be sliding
yet, had he not collided with two men
ut third base.
The great feature of the game, so far
as the Beacon Journal was concerned
was the run made by John Botzum
who while making a frantic effort tC

John got to second base. This will
give an idea as to the swiftness ant
force introduced by the Demmles
pitcher In delivering balls.
After the game everybody had ;
good time at Young's, and the suppe

With reference to the Sunday Star
