street defeated team composed of wise from east
Howard street by of II to g.
That game had an individuality about it seldom seen
these days among the Knight of the Diamond When the
first inning started it ooksd though the siders
were going to walop their brethren across the thorough
fare off the face of the map but the men the west put
that idea completely the bum in the spasm when
some fast timber work brought in three runs.
There was His Honr' Judge Miles Pondexter out
there IN the center garden chasing himself for further
ders after long hits for the east sdes and Assistant
ecuting Attorney A. j. Laughon the first for the
| weserners.
Itee from all danger of being fined for contempt the
lawyers got revenge the Judge for the many 'objec
ons not sustaned by soaking the ball as hard as thew
could all over center field.
The Judge, however, did one stunt that almost sent
the entire bunch to the crazy barn. It all happened
something like this The Judge standing out there in
the bucolc domain pattng himself his padded pants
and thinking of how it felt to be boy again, when up
into the sky went long one.
Involuntarily the Judge yelled 'Orded," and then
holered for help The sphere sailing the beaut
full green like Captain Grey's meteor when the Judge
started after it. The way eyer Hon'r took after that
ball caution. Tearing up Old Mother Earth like
scared wolf, the Judge finally arrived in the vicinity Of
the ball. Most everybody thought the Judge merely
making great big bluff but Nix he stuck out of his
mitts and with smack that could be heard halfa mile
the sphere landed For minute it looked if it would
stick, but uck would have it, the ball fell the
end of the Judges little finger and dropped to the ground
The Judge also careessy leaned up against one of Mr.
Edges twsters for two bases bringing in for the
fasteners.
The west sers fixed things proper in the fifth inning
when five runs came home.

Both men careful in playing and it almost a
safe from start to finish. In spite of the score how
ever the game intensely interesting to the spectators
This evening William Ridgeway and Edgar Beebe will

way has made fine records in the east both in Chi
cago and New York.
