 Terrible Slaughter
 A double header was played yester- day on the Ensley diamond and g crowd of 1000 people saw an eXhibi- ton of all the 57 varieties of baseball in the two games played The first game was enjoyed by the crowd as an excellent article of ball was provided. The second game was interesting for the reason it was punk, good and prop CT, therefore it was enjoyed by the crowd. Ruble and Deveraux, as um- pires, again gave satisfaction. The first game was called at 80. The opposing teams were the Rail Mill and Blast Furnace. The game was snap py and well played and resulted in victory of the "millers." Score: R.H.E Millers ........ 100 900 002--3 4 [ Blasters ..... 002 002 00*-4 ? Batteries: Spencer and Wells; Half e. game was the pitching of Halfacre who although he lost his game, struck out nine men.
 The second game was between the Mechanical department and. the E1ec- tricians. Talk about the slaughter of the innocents: the mechanicians jumped on the poor old wire stringers and lam pasted them to the tune of 30 to '. The game was so full of errors 1t was inn possible to count them; both sides be- ing guilty thereof. The gloom that per vaded Mudvill when the mighty Casey struck out was bright daylight com pared to the darkness and despair that has settled over the camp of the light ening ierkers." Big Bill of the healthy voice made a sneak toward the last of the game and hasn't been seen since. The electricians say, however, the disaster was due to an off day and that they can and will "come back" at a later date and wipe out the defeat by a greater victory
