Everything no Radays Is baseball and the fever
Is madly raging. On Friday last the strong
Georgetown team came here TO wipe up our poor

dissppoin ted look and the spirit Of dismay they
90 plainly displayed when they found themselves
entirely shut out was pitiable in the extreme,
and the score stood l6 to IN favor Of Glendale,

another interesting game was play ed and our
old Town boys were strung up to a high pitch Of
enthusiasm, aud the "Old Huckleberry Nine"
after years Of obscurity went TO the bat and ai-
ter sweating and fumbing for hours won one
run Il was amusing to see big fat Senator
Reed try 10 run after such strong batting and TO
see Postmaster Whitney wabble TO first base and
fall and roll over; and that smart dignified Mart
Weleh skip about with his grey head bare and
his hands blstered trying so hardto catch; but
Harvey Wilson was so big and fat he was OBJ
ndged to borrow some slippers TO move his car
cas- from base to base but he came In with that
lonely run from Reeds strong batting. On Fri
day OF this week our boys viii return the game
with Georgetown at Georgetown and It is under
