Baseball Boys Entertained.

On Tuesday evening of this week the
two ball teams who played at the fair
last Saturday morning We're given the
best supper at the Delta House that
they ever had the pleasure of sitting
down to.
The ball players around town were
divided into two teams and Mr.. Wolbert
backed one and Mr.. Bennett. of the
Golden Rule store the other. The team
Mr.. Wolbert backed was defeated by a
score of to l. This is the best game
ever played in Delta. His team being
beaten Mr.. Wolbert had the pleasure of
giving a supper to the two teams, for
it must have been pleasure to give
eighteen yonng men such feast and
such = good time. Mr.. Wolbert is
surely = game loser for he left nothing
undone that would add to the enjoyment
of the occasion.
Mr.. Shaver showed the boys that he
knew how to make them have . good
time. The menu and service was ex-
cellent and the boys all declare it was
the ''best ever" The ,guests present
aside from the two teams were: H. H.
Wolbert, Dr.. H. X. Gibbs and w. H.
