The professional men of the borough
have challenged the clerks, who have &C
cepted, to game of base ball to take
place about the middle of September
The challenge was mostly through the
efforts of the M. DIS, but 1t cannot be
that they are making en- effort to tide
over the dull season with few extra sur
gical cases. There is a bare possibility
that the surgeons might be laid up. Per
haps 1t would be good plan to make
rule to have the game called before all O
the doctors are rendered helpless. Wher
the clerks go to bat 1t will be we'll fol
them to keep their eyes open, as one O
the doctors was overheard the other da,
to make the remark that their man In tn,
box might accidentally" hit one or TIVE
of the first clerks to the bat, and the res
would be afraid to stand near enough t,
the plate to hit the ball. AS there will
probably be more or less practicing TO
the game, there may be enough business
for the doctors so that the match will b.
called off.
