GREAT BALL GAME.
The Leans Defeated the Fats in q Magniil.
cent Contest.

Monday afternoon the Base Ball
Park was crowded with lovers OF the
sport eager to see the opening game
between the Fats Va. the Leans. The
action began at $3.50 and from that mo-
ment until O'Clock it was fast and
furious. Nothing like it has ever been
seen on the local diamond, and nobody
has ever wanted to see anything like
it so far as we can learn. The Fats
opened with Willard in the box and
Walter Hunter receiving the effort.
Other pitchers were tried, but Herman,
the wizard twirler, had to finish the
game. Besides this battery they played
II. d. Gump at short, Haskell Dyer on
1st, NJ. B. Martin on End, G. o. Biddle
on Bird, W. B. Coon in left garden,
Charlie Shoecraft in center and d. A.
Vines in right. BY some means these
gentlemen remembered their places
from time to time, but forgot to play
them, The Leans opened with "Tot"
Miller behind the rubber and Cy Lyle
on the firing line, Geo. Burbage at
short, McAnnalIy on LIST, "Happy"
hardwood on end, "Shorty" Osborne
on 3rd, Sam Willard in left field,
Earnest Miller in center and Will
Thomas in right. They played to-
gether like clock without pendu-
had the Fats at their mercy from the
start. The score was shifted several
times, and Happy" Markwood, the
South Pole wonder, took the box, yield
ing it in the 9th to Geo. Burbage, who
allowed the Fats to make IA runs, more
than they had made before in the en-
tire game. The game closed with the
score 20 to 81 in favor of the Leans and
only one man out in the 9th inning.
There were many features that were
applauded by appreciative fans, chief
among which were: Harry Gump
played short like sponge, absorbed
everything that stopped ten feet or
more in front of him. Herman Will
lard was full of curves, even his form
displayed them, and he tried all but
one, that one had never been hit and
he did not want the record broken.
Billy Thomas caught every fly and
grasshopper in his garden as grace
fully as professional. Happy" Mark
wood threw a reverse curve that the
Fats could not touch. Haskell Dyer
accepted every chance and wanted
more.
"Shorty" Osborne never let q ball
get over him.
Cy Lyle nose q liner now when he
sees it. His nose is improving.
o. W. Burleson umpired the game
with uniform injustice to ell.
The net receipts were $39. 10. There
is unanimous demand from the GENE
terry for q second game but nothing
has been heard from the living.

Thrilling Escape.

Deputy Clerk and Master, Bob Gard
ner was held up and robbed while out
driving with his best girl one night
last week near the Soldiers Home.
One thousand dollars was taken from
him in small change he had placed in
his pocket to buy ice cream with. The y
escaped with their lives and the young
lady drove back to town because Bob
was so nervous he could not handle the
ribbons-on the horse. The young lady
destroyed her appetite for ice cream by
devouring o soup plate full Of cold
beans when she returned home and is
now Convalescing- from the fright.
