PLAYED BALL.
But the Members Of Eagle
Lodge Showed They Were
Not Up In The Game.

II there is Rebekah Lodge in the state
that cannot get up a ball team that can
beat the mines made up from the MEM
bers of Eagle Lodge that played at Paw
tucket yesterday, the grand master
should take, their charter from them.
Eagle Lodge has some good ball play
ers, but none of them took a hand in the
game yesterday.
OF the two teams that of Lansing was
the better.
Manager Lockwood's team was dream
and as for himself he made but one err
ror that of catching a ball and he didn't
know he had IL for some time. He made
no attempt TO catch another.
1t was fully demonstrated that Lock-
wood knew much more about insurance
than he did baseball.
The leading feature OF the game was the
argument between Right Fielder Tink-
ham, and Center Fielder Rose during
which the Lansingites made four runs.
The umpire was an innocent sort of a
fellow whose mind was on the river more
than on the game for he was informed
that in days gone by the drowning of an
umpire was one of the numbers on the
program.
1t would not have been out of the way
TO have drowned this one. for his deci-
sion was OF the rankest sort, and the only
thing that saved him was that he had
a wife and two children.
Also Ii was thought he was just a little
afraid of the score keeper, who was so
lazy that he was obliged TO lean against
the fence. He certainly said harsh things
TO the umpire, who wanted to do the
right thing by all. The game lasted an
hour, but no one knew who made the
runs, any more than the score keeper.
who cut notches in a shingle just as he
felt disposed.
Some said the score was 80 to Is in IA
vor of Lansing's gang, but the latter
claimed 90.
The teams were made up as follows:
Lansings Pigs-Faulkner. c.: Peters. p.
w. f. Faulkner. h.; Ball. 2b.; Lan<lg,
3D.; Folsom. s. s.; Arnold, r. f.; Sawyard.

The boys had great time for there was
no lack OF good things to eat and drink
and a little brown box under a shady tree
was a spot that was visited quite often.
A few OF the more sedate wrestled with
the So puzzle. and at times the excitement
was great. All sorts of stories were told
about the puzzle, but a fellow calle,
liam was voted the Ii Hung Chang of the
gang.

THE SHIRT WAIST MAN
AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE
"rlaCOn" rICCormick Shows That He
Made His Appearance i'm PhiIa-
deIphia Over Year Ago.

"Why shouldn't men In summer discard
vests and coats and go about I'm their
shirt sleeves. just as women do in shirt
waists?"
The question was discussed at length,
Bum favoring the shirt sleeve idea. The
next Sunday the Philadelphia Times had
an illustrated article on the subject I'm
which Governor Bum was pictured I'm a
magnificent shirt. but without vest or
coat He has a slender, elegant figure.
and he really looked stunning In his
minus attire, but for all that he has new
er attempted TO dine at the Bellevue I'm
the unconventional garb. That's how the
man shirt waist idea originated.
Bum gets his title of governor from tho
fact that he was once territorial governor
OF Idaho. When he took his position. his
fancy appearance and his nobby. stylish
clothes gave some OF the bad men OF that
section OF the wild and woolly West an
idea that he would be dead easy to han
die.
A little incident which occurred shortly
after showed them they were mistaken.
There was at the time under sentence OF
death In the penitentary a desperado
who had killed his mistress in sneak
ing, cowardly manner. Te had plenty OF
friends. though. in political and sporting
circles. and they did their level best to
induce Bum to pardon him. their prin-
cipal argument being. I believe that he
was drunk when he killed tho girl. "He
wouldn't have harmed hair Of her head
IL he hadn't been" they pleaded.
Their pleadings and their arguments
were in vain. Governor Bum wouldn't
bulge an inch from his position that the
criminal was a cowardly murderer. and
should hang for his crime. and hang he
did.
When asked on the scaffold Che was
PUBLICLY executed) III he had anything to
say. he replied: Only this. BOYS. want
you TO remember that an old timer is be-
ing hung by dude governor"
And this is the man who is responsible
for the shirt waist agitation.

The annual illuminated boat parade, or
ganized several seasons ago by the sum-
mer residents at Grcene's Landing, will
take place the latter part of August and
promises to be the most successful yet
attempted. The parade has become a
pleasant feature of the summer to the
many visitors at the landing. and Is al
ways witnessed by many of the towns
people. The demand for cottages at the
landing has been unusually large this
summer, nearly every one being occu-
pied early in the season. Several new cot
tages were erected last spring. and many
more will probably be seen there before
another season.
