RECIPROCITY BALL GAME
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Pitcher, and
w. S. Fielding, Catcher.
rBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. ]

New Glasgow, y. s., Sept. What
will undoubtedly go down in history as
the most famous event in Canadian base
ball took place here this afternoon, when
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier OF Canada,
went out or the diamond and, before d
crowd OF ten thousand cheering fans"
pitched one-third Of an inning for the
home team.
W. :. Fielding. Minister OF Finance,
was behind the bat. and. with the ex-
ception OF one passed ball, held the
Prime Minister'S slants TO perfection.
The Premier arrived in town in the
morning on his reciprocity tour of the
Eastern provinces. and the enterprising
home manager, realizing that Sir Will
frids remarkable personality would in
sure a tremendous audience, invited him,
through the Mayor Of the town, to pitch
the first ball Of the game. With a
hearty laugh the Premier consented to
pitch, thereby rendering at least eighteen
men happy The fitness OF things de-
manded that if Sir Wilfrid should pitch
Mr.. Fielding, his chief lieutenant in the
reciprocity fight, should catch.
Come on. Fielding" commanded the
Prime Minister covering as much OF his
white plume as possible under his big
derby hat AS he walked out on the
diamond and stood in the pitchers box
the crowd cheered wildly. When the
umpire called Play ball" the states
man. with seemingly little exertion. sent
ball up that went almost over the
heart OF the plate. and, the batter being
too surprised and amused TO strike at Il,
the umpire called "Striker'
on the next ball he popped out TO right
field The next batter walked, and 4
clean single over the second basemans
head was sufficient for Sir Wilfrid.
Amid cheers and the waving OF handker-
chiefs he went 10 the clubhouse and
shook hands with all the players. Sir
Wilfrid, who is now seventy. was d
pitcher In his college days.

This. Of course. requires some better
confirmation than the gossip OF bank

serious uneasiness exists among bank
