The "Neterans Of '9s,' or Spanish
War Veterans, Of this city held their
sixth annual reunion yesterday after
noon and evening and to say that it
was most successful and enjoyable IS
putting it mildly. AS has been the cps
tom, the base bali game was the chief
event Of the afternoon and though rain
fell it was not enough TO dampen the
| spirits Of the boys and game that would
not have done injustice SO some pro-
fessionals was fought out between
showers.
The Ball Game.
The game was played at Caledonia
park and to suit the occasion the rules
were somewhat changed from the usual
game. There were no errors; bali
/ Knocked over the bank counted as
home run and If batter happened to
strike three times at the ball and not
| hit it he was called out to save the
danger OF the catcher throwing wild to
| first.
The opposing teams, the ~. RS
and the Wood BIS" each claiming the
former title and the result Of the game
| to settle which was the latter, were
captained BY Capt. Badger and Lieut..
i Carswel. Though their captain was
| not present to lead them, Lieut.. Cars
4 Wells men triumphantly carried the
day and captured the enemy's IL. Il.
flag. The score was 0 to Z. The vic-
tors cot the advantage in the first round
and held it to the finish. Capt. Badgers
men fought brayely and every man died
hero. Capt Badger used both his
southpaw pitchers. Joe Jackson went
into the box first, but the enemy with
stood his attacks So well that he re-
signed his position after theN fourth in
lining, and Wishart put them over for
, the remainder Of the game. Bid Co
neo twirled them for the victorious
team. Private Mills from his position
las umpire in the center of the field,
was j dead mark for the sharpshooters
and though many times he hung out
. the flag of truce, he was shown no mer-
! cy.
