 Half dozen lawyers and two or three doctors came near getting into a row on the City hall steps this after noon over the relative merits of the doctors and lawyers of Waterbury as base ball players. One of the physi- clans IS liable to be sued for making the open charge that the limbs of the law were afraid to play because they feared they might stub their fingers and that the accident would interfere with their success in getting their hands in the pockets of their clients One of the disciples replied to this re- tort by stating that the attorneys ren- oC-s LII SeINlC0S LOT IQC1f lees. adding that this was something that could not be said of all the doctors. The physician denied the imputation with considerable emphasis and the two men were edging over toward each | other when City Clerk Ryan interposed and suggested that the matter be set | tied by issuing a challenge to the pro- fessicnal men of New Haven or Meri- den. You couldn't get a game in | either of these places,'' chimed in one | of the attorneys, s'but if you want 10 | see what you can do with outsiders | send challenge to Danbury. The | doctors and lawyers there can make | up team that will keep us hustling [ all through the game" While no defi- | mite action was taken on the question. it looks now as if the professional men of the Hatters town will be asked to meet the doctors and lawyers of the | Brass City on the diamond.
