 When pretty Miss Hartmann of the team of Smythe and Hartmann quit singing her song, Does Anyone Want a Wife, Aldermen McMurray and Walker took hold of Steve Boucher, and attempted to throw him onto the held to his seat. Miss Hartmann made hit with the Bridgeport play CTS. Manager McCann said he was willing to trade her for 'tRube'' Pol lard. The Three White Kuhns added to their long list of songs, the big season hit, Let's Play Ball. As a fitting closing, there was thrown on the canvas, moving pictures scenes of the first game in the last world s series between Pittsburg and Detroit.
