ATLANTIC CITY. September 90 1907.
One OF the biggest society events Of the
season, both -ocally and for the hotel Wis
ftors, was the base ball game at the Inlet
Park yesterday afternoon, when the Blue
Birds and white Wings played for the
benefit of the Atlantic City Hospital. The
players on both teams were leading men
in hotel life, lawyers. merchants, bankers
and ministers, and the playing was better
than any vaudeville show seen in the re-
sort this year. The ladies took part too,
not in the game itself, of course, but they
sold lemonade, flowers. peanuts and can
dies, chewing gum and score cards, and
they were by long odds the best "rooters''
in the packed grand stand.
