Last Sunday afternoon bali game was
pulled Of on the local diamond between
the Beach outlaws, and the lawmakers in
which the latter were badly beaten How
ever. the lawmakers defeat was not due to
the superior playing of the outlaws, but to
the superior umpiring of Shorty the
druggist who handled the indicator in a
very reckless manner and had it not been
tor the protection given him by his larger
friends, he would have been sat upon"
10y the lawmakers after the game Aside
from the many brilliant plays on both sides
the game was very exciting and amusing
exhibition. The county surveyor in center
field showed great form in assisting the
outlaws to victory while Halstad Harry
did noble work in right field for the out,
laws and assisted materially a, the bat in
making the 90 scores that were recorded
for the victorious side In the try OUT The
gilt edge harness man failed to make good
in left field and was called in and asked to
occupy the bench during the game. AL
though the haymakers made @ runs they
were not in any way to blame they be
LEVIED in keeping the score down--and did
what they could toward that end. 1t is
hoped by the fans that another game will
be played in the near future The hay
makers have some good material and all
they need is practice. With this we be-
leive they will be able give the outlaws a
run for their money.
