day Of surprise and unlimited enjoy
ment for the good and cbaritably in
clined citizens of Covington.
On that day, at $3.50 p. M, there will
be game of ball yes, a real game OF
ball played between two teams: The
'Reubips,, and the ''Fairies," CON-
posed of clerks from the Offices of the
New Orleans Great Northern Railroad
and some of our towns most worthy
young men.
Quaker Oats Gene Landry, of New
Orleans.corner-lots fame, will be at the
head OF the beautiful FAIRIES. Grand
father Thiery will be the collector OF
those mysterious curves Stockson
Bonds Alexius will deliver, while
Midget White, he of the 6ft-4, will be
at the initial station. The Captain
himself will assume the duties Incl
dental to second base, and little Car
Chaser Bob White will be the George
Robe of the aggregation. Baby Ward,
the pride of the Flanders household,
will cultivate the garden in the neigh
borhood of short. The stellar attrac-
tion in the outfield will consist of Sis
Hopkins de Phillips, in center; Pants
Jeffrion, right field; and last, but never
theless greatest of all, comes one whose
name we cannot mention, because of
our promise to Manager Charlie Frank;
but--be prepared for a surprise.
The Reubins pin their faith to John
Vernon Robinson. he of the sunset
complexion and lurid hair, better
known to the amateurs around town as
Basketball Edna" This captaincy of
the Reubins will fit most gracefully
upon Edna's Illuminated brow. Whitley
Moreau, the jolly flirt, will be at the
receiving end to handle the delivery of
the Speedy Balloonist, Ed. Paul. Beans
Dimitry will be at first, to show that
even stationary clerks can move
in time of need-or fire. Bean Brum-
mel Randolph will hold down the posi-
tion which has long since brought him
well deserved fame, second base,

short stopper has been allotted to the
careful supervision of Duplicater

that beautiful pecan blossom, Gus Fre-
ret. Our hothouse in right field holds
that precious man of signatures, Sam
youwell Mansfield Copp. In saving
for last mention the name Of Frederick
the Great, we only demonstrate that
good things can last. lily, the man in
lett field, will do more TO capture the
hearts of the fair gazers than all others.
Mr.. j. II. Mathews, by unanimous
vote, has been selected to fill the re-
sponsible position of water-boy, and
most generously will he dispense ma
lures thirst-destroyer.
"Skinny'' Fredericks has the respon'
sible position of bat-carrier, and let il
be whispered, that ''The Only Skinney''
possesses peculiar magnetic influence
that limbers up the timbers and gives
them a certain hitting power never
before heard Of.
Mr.. j. S. Brock has been appointed
umpire, and better selection it would
have been impossible to make. This is 8
teller, and the acquisition of his services
paying proposition. The selection o.
Mr.. Brock as umpire guarantees the Fa
ries and the Reubens square deal.
Mr.. G. j. Wade, the most energetic
and genial fireman In the town, will bt
called upon to act as official scorer
No padding of results here; that's {
certainty; and poor Edns's chance o.
going into faster company is slim.
