Doctors while attending business are

Horace Belts and DR.. Negendank had
Witnessed an important and successful
operation on a young man in ths Homeo-
pathc Hospital, and for little recreation
visited Union street baseball grounds to
witness the game between the Brownson
and Harrisburg teams. Upon approaching
the ticket Office window DR.. Frederick and
Or. Belts each gave DR.. Negendank a
quarter telling him TO purchase the three
tickets Dr. Negendank took the money
and went to the window and was followed
to the entrance gate by his two friends
DR.. Negendank walked through the gate
but when Dr. Frederick and DR.. Belts
tried TO follow him, they were held up by
the gate keeper who demanded their
tickets
That man gave you our tickets" said
DR.. Frederick

wicket

asked Dr. Belts.
"Of course did not" coolly replied DR..
