HAPPENINGS ON THE DIAMOND.
Special and Local Insurance Men Play
Good Ball.

The ball game between the local and
special insurance men of the state at
the Driving Park last Friday was the
swiftest all around game of the season.
More interest manifested, more good,
hard roofing ana more real fun for on
lockers than anything in this line. The
game brought together a bunch of
Jolly good fellows from different parts
of the state, who came to root for
their respective sides, and in order to
do this legally they were supplied with
license badges limiting the roofing.
At one o'clock the procession started
for the Park, headed by the Cornet
band, the players and visitors in sur
reys followed by enthusiasts from town.
The teams both put up good game,
lasting only seven innings, mutually
agreed upon. Up to the last half OF
the seventh the locals had the best of
it; but the specials, by a streak of luck
run in four scores, tying the game.
Some of the players having to leave on
the five O'Clock train, it was decided to
cal! it draw and this was satisfac-
tory to all.
In the evening the visitors were CIV
en- a German" at The Carlton hotel,
and this proved very pleasing social
feature, being in charge of Henry
Johnson and L. H. Towne. There is
no doubt but what every insurance man
who came to the game was well salts
fled with the treatment accorded.
The insurance men were SO we'll
pleased with their warm welcome while
here that they have decided to hold a
game in Edgerton annually. And right
here let us remark that we'll be glad
to have them do so. Next year, with
a milder day, the game will be witness
ed by thousand crowd.
