MEADE Liberal Ball GAME
Was a Reproduction Of "Grant
Taking Richmond"
Sander's Control was of All
AeronautiCa1 Nature

The special train from Bucklin to
Liberal last Sunday carried several
hundred people to witness the ridic-
ulous defeat of the Liberal base ball
players CD by the Meade team in a
double-header.
Langley pitched for the Meadeites
and proved himself a wonderful
master of the little sphere. Sauder
attempted to dope out tf1esslants for
Liberal, but instead he made an
''aerial flight" in the first inning,
giving Meade hits which result
ed in nine scores to Meade's cred
it.
Liberals fans, as usual, were there
in great numbers with their surplus
of hot air, but their sporting blood
was SO chilled by the balloon ascen-
sion, that some were seen hurriedly
retiring from the scene while others
remained as meek as lambs.
Meade's feature was a homer, hit
over the fence by Brown, while Lib
erals feature was the "trying out" of
pitchers. Liberal rallied after the
first but were unable to overcome
the large odds.
: Following is the official score ofthe
first game:

Some features are on every hand lauded.
The exhibition Of the clean, manly, from

lures appears to be the most popular.
Some features are being criticised as ami

with prospects OF a repetition. II was
