FATS AND LEANS.
Leans Won by Small Margin-Much
Interest in the Game by Those
Present.

4 great game of baseball was pull
ed off at the college grounds We'd
nesday afternoon, the two teams be-
ing selected from the business men
Of the city. One side was composed
Of those who possess an overabun-
dance Of avoirdupois, and their op-
ponents were those who are compos-
ed mostly Of "skin and bones,' in
other words, called ''Fats and Leans'
respectively.
The game, it was a corker from be-
ginning to end, both sides being
equally matched. 1t actually see
sawed, first one side in the lead and
then the other, but the leans got
busy and won out in the ninth, and
the final score stood l3 to IL.
AS to the feature Of the game, we'll
the whole thing was a feature, and
everyone played his best to perfect
ion. However, to narrow it down to
particular one, if that becomes nee
cessary, "Doc" Monteith gets the
call. He was the star player, or come
dian, on the diamond, playing short
stop for the men of his side. He
presided with grace and skill and got
everything coming his way, says our
reporter. The fats outheld was
above the average. P. F. Baxter,
Austin, and H. B. Summer were all
stars.
AS to the hits and errors they We're
numerous, so numerous in fact that
the scorer will have to take the first
rainy day off to count them up. In
every sense Of the word it was a
great game, and one generally en-
joyed.
