ball supremacy between the Fats and
the Sims will be called at :SU this
afternoon. 1he rotund boys have up
to date won every game. but the
Sims have been doing a lot of quiet
practice, and believe that they have
caught their old opponents mapping.
There Is no question but what the
practice they have put in, was much
needed.
The Leans, however, have a pitcher,
in Mark Buckman, who is not only
versed IN the art of mixing drugs, but
he can mix the outs, ins, spitters,
snake curves etc.. which are a revela-
tion. Jack Glllenbec has been catch
ing 25 pound weights thrown from the
top of the Realty block, so that he
might be in condition to hold Mark 8
high fast ball.
Manager Matt Wetzel has been look
ing after the affairs OF the shadows,
and really thinks they have chance
The Fats. as always, feel confident
that they will never allow as puny a
bunch as the Sims to get anything on
them.
After the Sims had the audacity to
again challenge the Fats, the challenge
was accepted as follows:
FATS ACCEPT CHALLENGE.
Although the Fats believe, that
according to all ethics of the game,
the Sims should have gained some
reputation. before challenging their
heavier brothers, who have made them
bite the dust eleven consecutive years,
for the cause which the game is to he
played, the Fats will, out of the good
| ness OF their heart, condescend to
accept the def of the Sims for game
of ball, the date of the contest to be
Friday afternoon Of this week.

benefit of the Little Falls Athletic
club, who after building the fence and
grand stand, and preparing the
grounds for play, ind that they are a
few dollars short. Outside of the
worthy object for which you can
assist, you cannot fail to get your
moneys worth out OF the game. The
games between these two teams has
always been feature, and should be
as popular this year as ever. Every

is guaranteed that you will forget your
troubles.
