Finish.

FINISH.
The general Office men added an
other scalp to their belt when pick
ed team of ball players calling them
selves the Teddy Bears, were trounced
to the score of 5 to 1. Morrell on the
rubber for the Teddy Bears, was
pounded quite freely throughout the
game, but excellent fielding kept down
the score. Anderson, who twirled the
sphere for the Office men was very
effective until the last inning, when he
got little wild. With only one man
out and three on bases, he hit the next
man with the ball, forcing in a run
for the bears. Things looked rather
blue for the Office men for little
while, but they frightened up and end
ed the game with a brilliant double
play.
Schaub and Wahle for the office
were very effective with the willow
and on bases, the former scoring two
out of the three runs. A. ]. Wind uni
ptred the game in very impartial
manner to the entire satisfaction of
both sides.
Another Game.

ward to with great deal of interest

days, who may be drawn on In case
