DEADLY COMBAT COMES
 OFF THIS AFTERNOON

swatsmen have no change to win, the game will be interesting as the great phenoms on The AgeHerald will give some exhibition performances between in- nings.
 The results by innings will be furnished by bulletins boards in all public places and the unfortunates who are not able to leave their work can peer out the win dows and ascertain the progress of the game.
 Rooter Brown or southpaw Bennie will handle the indicator and this is an assur- ance that the fine points will be badly messed up. They are both under peace bonds.
