PIKE.

L INL.
The base ball season opened very
auspiciously Thursday afternoon
at Prospect Park with meeting of
the Benedicts and Bachelors. The
old timers had no trouble in dis
posing of the younger generation,
the final score of the game being
20 to II. The features Of the game
were the batting and base running
of Superintendent Clark and the
heroic attempts Of L. G. Steffins
to drive the ball out of the diamond.
A lrge crowd attended the game
among whom were noticed many
of the fair sex. A good deal of
good base ball material was shown
up and there is no doubt that after
the Saturday half holiday becomes
reality that Pike will have no
difficulty in developing a ball team
that will bring much honor to
the town. The following were
the participants of the slaughter
