battle on the Fourth, go the Fair Grounds.

Even the umpire forgot it was his duty

Proud, who OBLIGATED satisfactorily the
previous Saturday, was again in the
umpire's box He had more work to do
this time as there were several close de-

hit.
A telegram in Sunday paper announc-
ed the defeat, on Saturday, of the Mount

There were plenty of amusements on the
side at Burlington, on Saturday. Two
enthusiastic rooters got into discussion
over the question whether the high grass
interfered with one club more than with
another and it looked as if they might
transfer the batting order from the field
to the grand stand Poodle" Reeves,
