The Clerks Baseball team beat the
Carmen's team on the Merino iats yes
terday. but such remarks as"It's a shame
TO take the moaey." robbers" "go to
Boston and get players" was heard on
ali sides. for the clerks had Leo. the
catcher and Bohannon. pitcher OF the
Dewey Boys club to help them out.
and this battery simply made monkeys
out Of the Carmen. so far as getting a
rap at the the ball was concerned
Take these two men out and the Car
men viii. so they say. trim the Clerks
10 stand still. Some said that the
Clerks paid these two young men 70 cents
each. and some say $40 each but the first
named sum Is apt to be the figure. for
the Clerks treasury was busted two
weeks ago, and no one has heard of their
landing an angel since.
The score was IL TO o. and that's where
the shame came in. Whoa. Be Gosh"
Austin OF the Carmen made Sherman
TO the Sea" march to third base. and
that's about three-Quarters OF a mile
nearer the plate, than any other member
OF the team TO reach the scoring point.
Austin knocked down everything In the
pathway, and so far as his work In the
right field is concerned, that part of the
garden won't need a lawn mower again
this season.
Eddy. the catcher for the Carmen APP
peared 10 think that the only way to
beat the Clerks. was to play nine innings
instead OF seven. but as he didn't get
a good hit at all during the game. his
associates thought that his Judgment
was trife OF, and he didn't know when
he was licked
One thing can he said for Eddy. and
that Is. he was good natured all the time.
Feltham, the pitcher. who always sup

came 10 the cooclusion that he was about
the size of a marrow fat pea, and the
only satisfaction that he got out OF the
game was In striking out Fogarty. who
is looked upon as the King Pin player OF
the Clerks.
Some think that Gorton could have
played better had he been little more
neglige In his attire. and quit smoking.
Bare Arm Phillips looked like a slugger,
but he was struck out so easy that his
many friends really pitied him.
Benash, he who has the appearance OF
a Fenian, astonished the natives by
catching a fy ball. a la, whoa be cash
fashion, for he certainly went into the
clouds after IL, and got II. The gang In
the square talked OF the catch. and for
a week any OF his associates will run his
car for him.
Flynn came on the field in players

grace the club from which he borrowed
the uniform by telling what the &C. C.s
stood for. He looked like a ball player
was dressed like ball player. but he
didn't play like a ball player.
The friends OF Tenant say that had

with Heffe-nan's Jonah beltthat perhaps.
ne might have done better. and they also
think that he has been paying more at
tenion to the rules OF football than base
ball.
Leo and Bahannon won the game for
the Clerks, but Fogarty. OF that team

Red Savage. got a good hit. ran like
