TOWN BALL IS NEXT
Or. Simpson Is Getting Ready For His
ball Game Of Forty Years Ago"

DR.. iSimpson is getting the old
timers eDthused over the game Of
"townball" which is to be played
here at some date following reunion
week, and be is receiving the assist
ance Of different ones in digging up
the rules. A set Of rules will have to
be compiled aud agreed upon before
the game. Nearly everyone remem
bers some rule ~ custom in the old
fashioned game, but there is quite
difference Of opinion. Some contend
that the game is played on square
ground, while others are sure it was
diamond. Judge Madison has been
4, called ON to furnish information re-
garding the game as it use I to be
played. In his opinion the game was
named townhall, because the whole
town can play. After the town con-
gregates at the grounds. two cap
tains are selected. One captain pitches
the bat to the other, the captain who
catches the bat retains his hold upon
it. The other captain then takes hol'l
lust above bis adversaries hand, and
they continue hand over hand as long
as any hand hold is left at the top Of
the bat. If the Que getting the last
hold has a sufficient hold to pitch the
| bat ten feet over bis shoulder, he
gets first choice of all the players.
When all are chosen one captain spiis
upon the bat, the other chooses wet
or dry, and the bat IS thrown in The
air, II the dry side Of the bat is up
ward when it allghts, the captain who
has chosen "weL" or had it leftlto him
| by the other choosing dry, gets his
side at the bat first The other side
all 20 into the field excepting pitch
or aud catcher.
When man strikes the ball be
goes to first base, providing some
| fielder does not ''cross him out" or
"soak him. With the ball. He must
stay there until be has chance to
run 70 third. The next man that bats
may run on to first, even though the
| first batter 10 still there Sometimes
there will be half dozen on first
base, and often all of them will make
the run to second ut the same time.
DR.. Simpson finds that there \
some difference Of opinion regarding
the nnmbfr of innings required to
constitute y game, hut has dtcid'd
thai there is DO particular number o.
innings, and That The game must lust

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
PARTIALLY EXPLAINED
Claim Made That Death of Mrs.
Montanya Was Not Suicidal,
but Accidental.

Los ANGELES. Cal. July 5.-The
mysterious shooting Of Mrs. Lorena de
la Montanya in her apartment in San
Francisco last Friday night. which the
police at first thought to have been
suicide, was explained today by c. o.

of Los Angeles, who was with Mrs.
Montanya al the time, Mr.. White
more saws that Mrs Montanya acci-
dcntally shot herself while handling 4
revolver According To his statement
he. Il. &. HaDford and a Mrs. w H..
Patton of San Francisco were dining
with Mrs. Montanva. Hanford drew
Il revolver from his pocket and placed
it on table.
..Whlle our attention was diverted, -
said Whittemorc. Mrs, Montanya
picked up the pistol and, presume,
started 10 examine it.
"We were all startled by sudden
report. and Mrs. Montanya fell from
the settee TO the floor. The bullet had
entered her temple. We quickly called
for a physician, and when there was no
response ] went to my hotel to bring
the doctor Arriving there, I found
that he had already responded and [
did not return to the scene. Mr.. Han
ford, 7 believe, also left very shortly
after I did. ~
Mrs. Montanya received final de-
cree of divorce on the day of her death,
her former husband being Marquis
