Jos. Chadderdon, the former Red

Gus experience while pitching ball
at Hutchinson on May 18th. 1t APP
pears that Mrs. Lille Slaight of
that town is opposed to Sunday
base ball playing and on that day
she wrapped herself in an Ameri-
can flag and attempted to prevent
a game scheduled for that afternoon.
The game was between Hutchinson
and Cokato. After she had sent
protests against the game through
the churches she placarded the
town with notices saying that 100
mothers" had decided that no Sun
base ball should be played in
Hutchinson When the crowd as
sembled for the game placards we're
found declaring that ito modest the
flag while it is floating in defense
of law is high treason. = When
George P. Jones" Jones of Rock
as umpire, called play ball" Mrs
Slaight, flag enwrapped took po-
sition between pitcher and catcher.
Chadderdon, the pitcher, tried
curving the ball around her. Then
two batteries were put on the field,
and Mrs. Slaight lodged about en-
deavoring to prevent play. She
succeeded in blocking fast play,
and the crowd took up solution of
the problem, gathering closely
around her and moving off the field,
Mrs. Slaight protesting vehement
| ly. The ruse succeeded and the
game was played. But Mrs. Slaight
announced that though temporarily
defeated she would carry the case
up and would telegraph to Wash
ington the news of this action
