No arguing by the lawyers because
that's their graft. Long drives
will be expected when the land
men 90 to bat. The umpire will
not be allowed to change his de.
cision more than three times; Only
the "bold face type" Of printers
will be permitted to play. No base
running on foul balls. After each
third out the side at bat will be ex-
pected to take the field and lot the
others have chance. Don't Josh
the umpire, he has big task ahead
of him. The disciples Of Ben
Franklin and Esculapias have for
battery Cummings and Harold
H. Harris, while L. M. Harris and
Joe Kilen will do the battery stunts
for the land men and lawyers. All
are old professional exponents Of
the game and have been practicing
many many moons for the contest.
Hans Gilbertson, printer, and
Reese Hattabaugh, lawyer, will
hold down first base and are telling
their friends to look for some hair
raising stunts at the initial bag
during the game. Drs. Riggs and
Campbell will look after the pleas.
