~ excl Pickers and Heffernan Ham
bergers" played ball on the Merino
flats yesterday afternoon. Heffernan
mob did not care TO play hard as they
labored under the impression that the
railroad men could not play even little,
but at the end of the eighth inning,
Charles Peecco. the champion egg flop
per OF Olneyville decided that the Jig
was up for he saw defeat staring him
in the face and begged OF Heffernan 10
find an excuse to call the game off and

player in the team, who said that he
must quit the railroad men lost heart
Mr. Heffernan claims that a man from
the valley lost the game, for the Ham
bergers," the valley man. one John f.
Murphy by name wore a pair OF shoes
that were not mates, in fact the shoes
were both 'Iefts." Murphy usually wears
pair OF patent leather shoes and as
he was billed for a ball this evening
and IL being the day before pay day.
did not want 10 take any chances with
the slick looking foot wear. SO he bor-
rowed a pair OF shoes from friend.
Heffernan also lays no little blame on
a young men named Mulligan a clerk
at NJ. III. Corrigan's. for Mulligan is
ball player from way back, but at the
last moment informed Mr.. Heffernan
that he did not care TO nike in with
lot OF scrubs. The railroad men do not
consider that the game a real game. but
simply little diversion and base running
practice.
