REAL THING
CITY OFFICIALS HANGED. DRAWN
 AND CHARTERED.
The Newspaper Chaps Simply Toyed
 With the Team of Poli- ticians.

Back, back, back to the uncut tim Der for the city officials. Although they expected to have walkover, they were soundly trounced at state league park yesterday afternoon by the newspaper men by the score of 6 to 5 in a six inning game. Every one wanted to stop at the end of the sixth inning, but the city ohicials made a bluff that they wanted the game to go on even though they were all in. They were delighted when Captain Lahey had the "ump' call the game and told him to give 1t to the officials by the score Of to C.. It was some consolation at least ana the act was loudly applauded, as everyone felt sorry for the ofhcials. After the nine had warmed up for about half an hour J9Oiin Howe took his position to umpire the farce. but Sandland's pets would not stand for Howe and he was chased. Both sides agreed to have "Cy" Voorhees, ref cree, so the game started.
 On the newspaper bench shouting for all he was worth was Ben Wit kowski, while James William Fitz- patrick, Pop French and J. Olin oc- cupied seats in the grand stand.
 Just before the caiae commenced Captain Lahey called his men to- pether and told them to allow the officials to score a few runs in the first inning. Consequently the City hall tossers with the aid of few nice hits captured four taliies in the first round. After that. Mcdonald re- ceiyed perfect support and the scribes' infield proved to be stone wall. As for their outfield, 1t mad captured everything that came us way.
 In the third inning the scribes got busy and when the batting swatfes' was over they had ohslked up hye runs. The look of disgust on In spector Slavin's face, tho was catch ing for Sandland's has beens, was terrible to behold. Miles McNin danced with joy and Mike Ryar howled when his fayorites went tt the front. Matt. Smith. who Wal keeping score, wanted to quit righ' away. so Eddie Eurley. who was th' next batter, said he would get out st as to end the inning. He did so. II Curley did not try 10 get out tn' newspaper men would be in battln; vet. After the fatal third inning th' noliticians were always the bell cow and although they tied the score II inc fourth due to the excellent bas' runnine of Flint Phelan, they wer, soon in the rear again Tn the iouI.l inning Cy Voorhees,, vho had oeel watching the curves of the twiriers refused to umpire longer, so COT peIius Cassidy was put in. ln ni first inning he was slmost moeDe' bv inc City hall team when he calle' slayin out at third base. The run uer was out by a mile, even Bel Witkovski agreeing with the uml After inc last half of the sixth, al though some claimed it was tn tenth. Captain Minor asked that tn game be called as he did not thin that his team had any show of win ming As pr Kilmartia and Jonnnl purress also wanted the contest az cIsred otf. Cassidy did so, amid tn cheers of the multitude. which nun bered by actual count just 2,lVO pec pie. ,. u1I Ie1m lt MDA An = Na@@N
