Real Tug of War
A tug of war between the married
men on one side and the bachelors on

suited in victory for the latter. The
time pulled was 1 minute and % sec
onds. A similar contest between the
floorwalkers and the men of the re-
ceiving room was won by the latter
Several nifty boxing contests were
pulled off and the embryo pugilists
displayed considerable skill. The
sports were judged by Messrs. M. A.
Hamburger, w. e. Chamberlain and
w n. Bailie.
The real thing on the athletic pro-.
gram was the ball game, in which a
bunch Of candidates for walking canes
went up against wallowing herd OF
walking mountains and called it con-
test Perhaps it was. Some of the
players seemed to think so by the way
that they tried to initiate whirling
dervishes when they struck at the ball
or gave a first class representation of
man chasing a hog when the sphere
so much as hinted at coming in their
direction. The teams lined up as
follows:

Score Hard to Find
Lack of space and the fact that the
scorekeeper never got beyond high
school in the science of counting rem
ders it impossible to print the runs and
errors, to say nothing of the discus
sions.
