nat good Dad Dali game at flnkle
park yesterday afternoon was every bi;
as funny as some those Grays pull off
ing of Lewis Tate, which is saying
plenty, the doctors beat the lawyers II
to 20 in seven innings. But for humane
Louie the lawyers would have suffered
worse. All these crimes were commits
ted in the name OF charity, which COW
ers sin better than the professional men
covered the bases, and other jobs they
happened 10 be working on at the time.
"A big crowd OF men, women and chill
dren enjoyed the merry spectacle. The
game being the limit, didn't 10 the
limit. but the populace departed happy
and satisfied, and the ST. Thomas hos
pital fund is the heavy gamer, to the
extent OF S145 thereby.
Egermayer dug UP a swift team from
among the lawyers. with substitutes on
the bench to spare. Coroner Nichols
signed and drilled the saw bones, an all
star cast. Tate umpired in a calra, cool
and collected manner due to the police.
The medical men looked like bunch OF
sailors. They wore white, before the
game, with yachting caps to match.

is as accurate as the game itsel..
Nichols started in to pitch Tor the
doctors and Egermayer for the lawyers,
but neither lasted very long. When
ever an .understrdy broke into the po
sition and the lineup was switched
around, he simply piled up glory for
the fellow whose name was on the score
card. The utter absence OF errors,
rare in a professional game,
will be noticeable. The errors We're inn !,
possible for two reasons. Tho doctors
were too good to make any, AID the
lawyers didn't know how. Everything
not hit was scored n stolen base to
save argument, and the feelings OF the
players who got In wrong. ldaking

anyhow. SO the stolen base idea sounds |
