The Band baseball team defeated
the Clerks team to 0 Saturday after
noon on the Home diamond in very
exciting game. AT 3 o'clock the
Band boys formed and marched with
their music around by headquarters
onto the field, and being confident of a
victory harnessed two dogs into a
small cart which was finely draped
and had three placards attached-"We
are all behind 'yer''-"Band VS.. Clerks
at 3, watch watch"-"Band champions
1907 VS.. Clerks"-''watch the poor
clerks, nuf sed."
The game was called at 3.15 and the
band made three runs in the first and
shut out the clerks. The band ther
put on a broad smile. The Clerks held
the Band down until the sixth wher
they scored again and in the seventh
started off with two runs wher
Schueler came to the bat, made a fine
hit to center, bringing two more, max
ing eight runs in all to the Clerks
nothing Two more innings were
PLAYED without any more scores being
made. The Clerks were a little SLOW
in throwing to bases, allowing the
Band to steal quite a lot. Umpire

Il have given two or three state
ments about Mr.. Clevelands health to

Mrs. Cleveland is keen1y cognizant
of the deep interest the public holds

and she stated tonight that if any

that reports that Mr.. Cleveland is suf-

The fact that Mr.. Cleveland has re-

had been closed for the season is not
surprising to Mr.. Cleveland's friends,
when it is considered that in the past,
after similar attacks, it has required a
few weeks each time for the former

height of the blow and went drifting
toward the shore. The Illinois headed
directly for the Alabama and it look I'd
for time as though a collision was
imminent. But heroic work by the
helmsman managed to steer the drift

done was the tearing away of the port

The winds continued today and the
Illinois made no attempt to regain her
position in the fourth division column.
AS early as 9 o'clock last night it was
announced that no more steam
launches would run between the ships
and the shore. Many little stout
steamers that had already made the
shore, were held in the sheltered wat

problem of finding a place for them

night.
1t was said, moreover, that if the
blow continued, it might delay the de-
