A most fierce and ferocious game OF
base ball was pulled off on the home
| diamond Tuesday afternoon between
the married men and single men,
resulting in a score Of II to 8 in favor
of the "Singles" The game furnished
considerable amusement for the-crowd
and some very fancy (?) plays were
made. "Doc" Lentz umpired the
game and has not dared appear on the
| streets since on account of his par
TALLY to the single men. He even
| has an escort accompany him home
nights, and will continue to DO SO
until public sentiment is more in his
| favor.

Glare Bullen has one coming up that
in time will lay the Reds all in the
shade. Last week the little fellow
got hold of a basket OF eggs and
lugged them into the parlor; when
discovered he was seated on the rug
and in the act OF letting one fly at the
chandelier suspended from the center
of the room. The youngster was try
ing hard to get 'em over the "base''
and let out yell that sounded like
shit it-hit it," so frequently heard
on the Brookings diamond. AS the
basket was nearly empty when his
mother came into the room the appear
ance of things can better be imagined
than described.

Blame" and later in East Lynne
