SNAKE A HOODO TO
THE MARRIED MEN

Draper Democrat:-OnM Monday a
match game of base ball which will
long be remembered, was pulled off
in Oacoma. The Oacoma team has
been victorious in every game played
this season and had become some
what chesty. AS a result the married
men challenged the young fellows and
the game was palled off on Monday.
There was some terrific playing as the
old bucks had determined to knock
the cover off the ball as they used to
do in '65 and the putting some of the
overweights did while running the
bases would put high wheeled auto
to shame. But they got there Just
the same and soon the young fellows
were kept busy keeping oct of the
way of the cars. The game progress
ed finely and at the end of the first
half of the 9th inning the score stood:
married men s. young men 5. The
young men had the last half of the
last inning to play and just here is
where they showed the superior skill
of diplomacy OF the rising generation.
AS the old fellows skipped gaily to
their stations fully determined to fan
the young bloods out in double quick
time two or three boys approached
third base, where Senator Bartipe was
engaged IN reducing his flesh, and
