LEANS BEAT FATS
Win the Annual Contest on Base
Ball Diamond
LOTS OF "HOT SPORT"
AdipOse Tissue has Things its own
way at First, but Skeletons ,
Make Winning Rally

The Fats" met the Leans" on
the diamond Friday in their annua
contest for supremacy and were theirs
to the tune of IL to 10.
Geo. Fish twirled for the adipos
tissue boys, Leo Heifner hurling tn
sphere for the living skeletons. Mr.
Fish was supported behind the bat
b. Dietrich, Cliff Hines being the
other half of the lean battery. Enoch
Johnson officiated as umpire and
lives TO tell the tale.
There were some spectacular fea-
lures to the contest, namely Mayor
Minette's fly into left field where o.
II. Schleusener couldn't get it,
Schlcusener's handling the willow.
which by the way is way all his
own, Dan Walkers coaching, and
there were others, but time and space
fail to relate them all.
The Fatty Felixes" had things
practically their own way early in
the game, piling up one score in
the first inning, four in the third,
one in the fourth and four in the
sixth. They didn't score any more.
The skinny fellows were blanked
in the first five innings, then they
rallied and came over the rubber
four times in the sixth inning, be-
ing blanked in the seventh and scor-
ing twice in the eighth.
= The score at the opening of the
ninth inning stood 10 to in favor
of the fats, with the latter coming
to bat first. Fish was first up and
singled to Jung on second who threw
him out at first. Fiesler duplicated
this pretty play. Then up came
Henry Brown who had gone in for
Walker during the previous inning.
Mr.. Brown famed thrice and it was
all up for the adipose tissue lads.
When the lean lads came to bat
Ole Armstead got hit and made
first; Cliff Hines followed and so
the willow and in a very few moments
did Frank Jung. Markson next took
all four had scored owing to good
hitting on their part and some rotten
manipulations of the leather by the
other side. This tied the score, and
Henry Keller, who was backing the
skeletons, let out war whOOp that
swayed the grand stand Leo Heif-
ner advanced to bat with sweet
smile and struck out. Elmer Hatch
was hit by pitched ball and took
first While there was some monkey
business going on he stole second.
Frank Carr then came to bat for
Schleusencr and flew out to Henne-
mann. Anderson came to bat, R. E.
Hanson having retired from the game
owing to being hit in the back by a
pitched ball. The sphere was pitch
ed once or twice and finally Anderson
hit it. An over throw to first let
him get that base and while the fats
were devoting their attention to that
part of the field, Hatch improved
his opportunity to come home. This
put the leans one ahead and won the
game.
At one period in the contest there
was.a debating society conducted by
various players and the umpire. Mr.
Johnson's ruling on the whole were
satisfactory and impartial.

numerous to mention, but the fun
was fast and furious.
