Ihe clerks IN the Dig stores oi Mad
den q Co. and Burton Peel have been
making faces at each other across the
street for the past week, each anxious
for the time to come when the disput-
cd championship on the diamond
would be settled. This time came last
Monday afternoon. when they crossed
bats at Chickasaw Park. 1t was not
a time for face making or wasting
words. but actual business was the or
der of the day.
Was there ever jollier crowds than
the tMo mat pned III the Dig wagons
vi the Wilson Transfer Co.? Mr
Wilson's generous heart opens wider
than even on these occasions and &C
not only takes the clerks to and from
the park, but gives them spin
around on their return. Each wagon
was decked in its teams colUrs, Mad
den a. Co. in the white an red. ami
Burton Peel in the purple and yellow.
On their arrival yell after yell went
went up and the grand stand was kept
in an uproar. The 'rooters and rooter-
ines" were out in full force with
horns galore, and all the discarded
| bells OF the bovine ia the early days
OF this country had been resurrected,
given a shine and a couple of ribbon
streamers. Time hal added al extra
| harshness to their once melodeous
tingle; however, this sounded good 10
Walter Simpson who was putting his
best foot forward. Joel Buchanan and
John George are not through-"still
water runs deep"-and they are con-
soling themselves with the old adage.
"He laughs best who laughs last
Ham T.. Bee, who umpired, had a
"knocker" on the grand stand, but
that's in the game, and folks wouldn't
amount to much If they didn't have a
few knockers. You are all right, Mr.,
Bee. Come again.
The rooterines are good and com
pare favorably with Latham, the Ma
tional League rooter who followed the
St. Louis Browns in former days. Bur
n.Peel's rooters' yell was Burton
| Peel lBurton-Peel You don't know how
good we feel" and Madden, they are
sadden."
Madden's yell was Madden, Mad
den: they are the stuff. They'll give
Burton-Peel enough"
The scramble of Webster after hav-
ing hit the plate-for .le bal.
thinking it was the base-was anus
ing. Mr. Webster in ms younger days
had no experience with the mitte.--
or never received it-otherwise he
wouldn't have made such dive for 1t.
Dodson OF Burton a. Peels team
famed six sluggers. and Holmes let
down five OF the Burton a. Peel hit
ters without scratch. The work OF
Webster In center field of Burton 4
Peel's team was above par, while the
center fielder of Madden & Co. did a
fine piece of foot work in stopping the
hit OF Dodson in the first inning.
The work at short of Holmes Of the
Madden 'eam was revelation and II
that young man does not watch out
he will be kidnapped by the New York
giants before the season is over. For
A time during the game the teams
played hard baseball, and then again
number thought that the old game
OF cat was being played and governed
themselves accordingly.
1t was a Jolly good game and rec.
reation good for our tired clerks, and
more OF them should be INDUCED in.
They are lung developers.
The score by innigs was as follows;
1885
Burton a Peel .........1 o o.
Madden & Co. ..........0 90 %
