BASEBALL? YES, THAT'S
WHAT POLICE CALLED 1T.
Second and Fourth Precinct Men Cross
Bats-Uniforms of Latter Bulge
Over the Chest Today.

A fair-sized crowd witnessed a Cir
Gus" yesterday afternoon on the
grounds where the big shows amuse
thousands annually. There were no
elephants, wild monkeys or any kind
of trained animals or Indians, etc, but
eighteen burly bluecoats from the Sec
and and Fourth stations. They played
a game similar to what we call base
ball, but you'd never have believed
that was what was going on.
Captain Vogel's stalwarts from the
Fourth scored just a dozen runs, while
Captain Browns peace guardians had
four less, and, therefore, lost the game.
In the battle Policeman R%auscher, of
the winning team, stuck out his head
on one occasion, instead of his bat
and he caught it in the eye, and has
since been unable to report for duty.
Pitcher Entner, of the losing side,
claims that the ball that hit Rauscher
was what is called a spit ball. The
victim claims, on the other hand, that
the proper name would be star ball,
for that is what he saw when his Y
came in contact with it.
Eddie Bennett, of the Seventeenth
venue aggregation, pitched in Ma
tional League style and allowed the
Seconds but nine scattered hits, and
he struck out thirteen Of them. Fatty"
Lunny, Quinlan and Spinner each made
home runs for the victors. The former
sent the ball into the canal. 1t is, said
to be the longest hit ever made-at
least Lunny says so. Entner was the
only loser to make a circuit drive.
The Fourth is now ready for other
precinct teams to play them.

CAR FAMINE PARTLY RELIEVED. 5000 Crates of Peaches Rotting at
 Van Buren for Lack of Cars.

Van Buren, July 22.-The car and ice famine that has threaten ed the peach growers of Crawford county for the past three days has been relieved to a certain ex- tent. Tine Frisco has managed to move the fruit piled on its platforms with but very little de- lay, but the Iron Mouutsin has been less fortunate, and more than 5000 crates of fruit is rotting in the sheds at the Oakland and Lees Creek sidings.
 An ice train from St. Louis that was being rushed to Van Buren was wrecked near Mulberry, 20 miles east of here, last night. That not only blocked the track for several hours, but left the company without ice for it's cars. Should there be no shortage of cars today, so cars will be loaded, making it the biggest day of the season.
