WITNESSED BY LARGE CROWD

Saturday afternoon at o'clock the
legal lights and the members " the
medical fraternity met on the diamond
at Reynolds field and battled royalty
for supremacy at the bat. All the
Docs of the city were in attendance
to take care Of the wounded while the
lawyers were represented by goodly
share of legal talent, who were there
for the express purpose Of arguing
every point and if possible to secure
verdict. Both teams had been ,in-
der the strictest traiping for the past
week and when they stepped on the
diamond it was plain to be seen
that they were in the best Of condition
and that the contest would be stub
bornly fought from start to finish.
The doctors showed the effects of hard
training more than theirppponents and
to some ii looked as though they had
been over trained or else some enthu-
siastic member Of the followers OF
Blackstone had in some way admins

them, but this is denied by the follow
ers of law and counter charge made
that Doctor Moore slipped up on them
before the game and while no one was
looking, succeeded in hyperdermically
injecting large quantity Of Charley
Horse into some of their best players.
Now that they have lost their
laurels they threaten to enter protest
and contest the victory on the grounds
Of cruel and inhuman treatment and
If it is possible to secure a Judge who
Is unprejudiced It Is very likely that
the case will come to trial. The at
tendance did not run up unto the
thousands on account of the many 9th
er attractions but still 1t was very
good and one noticeable feature was
that an extremely large delegation Of
the fair sex was there, but whether
1t was the charms of the doctors or
the lawyers that drew them, deponent
sayeth not, however, from the reception
several OF the medlcos received when
they grasped the willow and walked
to the plate, rumor gained ground
that the dispensers of pills we're the
magnet that drew the lovely and fair
to the grand stand.
Following Is true and correct ac-
count OF how the case was tried giving
all the various stages Of doubt and
distrust, complications and amputa-
tions, showing how the pill man
proved himself a greater actor at the
bat than the oratorical dealer in
other peoples troubles, all OF which
has been sworn to before one Of the
most Trustworthy notaries in the city,
so :hai theie can be no grounds for
argument.
TIE FIRST inning opened VITA tho
lawyers at the bat and the M s,li:al
fraternity scattered over the field as
near their proper positions as 1t I
was possible 70 get them Clark,
the professional. who had been import
ed for the express purpose Of catching
this game for the legals, was the first
man to step TO the plate and face the
invincible Hammond. He foulcd
couple and then getting one to his
liking raped 1t down to short stop.
However, II was a little warm and
Mills fumbled 1t and the runner was
safe. Davis followed and placel a
nice one over first and before Il was
recovered Clark had crossed the rub (
ber with the first run, Davis then
stole second and third and scored
when Rogers died at nrst on an easy
hit to pitcher. Nojustice was pres. [
ent or Davis would probably been
placed under arrest for theft. Lucas
came up smiling but seemed to have
chicken on the brain as he fouled
several, but getting one to his liking
he placed bill Of lading on II which
read for two bags, and scored when
Sec Romero lined one down between
short and third for two cushions, Ro-
nero couldn't stand prosperity, how.
