were stuck on dancing, and the old |
folks on eating. A kid would
rather dance than eat, any time,
and we see where he is right. Oc-
casionally he will grab a ham
bone in one hand and his girl in
the other, and away they go.
Along about noon the ball peo-
pie begin to plot, and when the
"Neversweats" and the "Born-

war correspondents and as many
kodaks to gather anything like an
adequate idea of that game, which
ended up in a draw in score of SO

Then the kangaroo court sought
to convene, but the court was busy
binding up the wounds received in
the capacity of umpire, and the
kangaroo sheriff was broad guage,
and the principal culprit had
escaped and was down at Shaw's
hotel asleep, and Judge Mcfarland

and Kelly the reporter was glued
to Mcfarland, and the Kangaroo
court never got quorum.
Then the ''Teddies" started III to
fix the "Alfalfas," the inevitable
squabble comes up and little
scientific sparring takes place; all
parties disclaim the use of bats OF

the superior claims Of bacon and
beans over pale biscuits and butter
milk, when the game goes on the
"Teddies" win, Of course.
Teddy Dawkins was in tho midst
of the contest, waving stove-pipt
