GREAT VICTORY
FOR THE "REXALLS"
Wins First Game Easily, iiOXie
FOrfeitS Last at Close of 9th
Inning

A three series game of baseball
was played here this week, Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday, between
the "Rexalls" and Hoxie's crack
team, IN which the "Rexalls" came
out victorious, as usual.
The game Monday afternoon was
very pretty one, some real classy
ball being played by both sides,
the score being to IN favor of
the "Rexalls."
Tuesdays game was not so good
on account of the grounds being
muddy and slick. Many errors
were made on both sides and the
game was won by the visitors by
the score of l3 to 8.
Interest however seemed to center
in the game that was played
"Wednesday afternoon. Before
the time for the game to be called
the grand stand was filled to over
flowing with enthusiastic friends ol
the home team who had assembled
there for the purpose of witnessing
the defeat of the visitors. For ;
while 1t appeared that the game wa'
going to be close and swift one in
deed, but in the 9th inning two cost
|ly errors on the part Of the hom'
team allow ed the visitors four ruus
However our boys, game fellow
that they are, knew they wer
playing better ball than the visitors
went after them anew, scoring fv
runs and tying the game in th
ninth inning. Hoxie refused t
play the tie off and in so doin,
forfeited the game to the Recalls
to 0.
The results Of the three games i

FOURTH OF JULY GRAFTON.
By Uncle Sam.

Whoop-ee, boys, this is my birth
day! And / must make you a speech
on this grand and glorious occasion.
I was born up at Philamayork, in the
State of Pennsiltucky, one hundred
and thirty-fve years ago to-day. l
wa a sort of sickly kid, and some
folks didn't think l would ever live
out half my days. But I'm here yet,
Joys, and as frisky as a young colt.
I am sole owner and operator of the
Great American Circus. Yes stree
bob, I've got Barnum & Bailey,
Ringland Brothers, and all the rest
Of the show people backed up in a
corner and yelling for mercy. My
circus runs "a hours in the day and
365 days in the year, and I've always
got a full house. If you are a bill
lionaire you can have a reserved
seat with upholstered cushions, and
a niger boy to serve icecream and
lemonade, free of charge. But if you
are a poor devil you'll have to crawl
in under the tent and stand up, and
if you ask for any favors I'll have
you arrested.
Ho, everybody this way if you
want to be humbugged! Don't go
elsewhere to get abused and cheated,
but come to my Great American
Circus. We a pick your pockets
slicker than anybody else. 1 have
a trained force of expert sleight-,
hand performers whose only bust
ness is to extract the coin Of the
realm from the pockets of the raw
boned Rubes. It is a painless per-
romance, because you don't know
you are being robbed until after it is
all over. But it hurts like the devil
when you find it out.
I've got the greatest aggregation
of good things and bad things, hot
things and cold things, of all sizes,
varieties and colors, that were ever
exhibited under one tent. This is
the place where you can get virtue
and vice, religion and rum, holiness
and hell. We can furnish you a
good Bible for ten cents and a bad
drink OF whiskey for five cents
This is the place where we send a
man to Congress with three wives
and send other men to the peniten-
tiary for having two; where some
men make sausage out of their wives
and some want to eat them raw;

4 SERMON ON BASEBALL.

citation of Casey at the Bat the
Rev. Franklin Baker, pastor of the
First Unitarian Church at Sacra-
mento, California, spoke to a large
congregation in defense of Sunday
baseball. He said that the SIS, 0OO, 900
spent on baseball last season was
better expended than the same sum
in foreign missions.-NeWs Item.
Shades Of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
~Jehoshaphat and Sally Ann Swig-
gins! If that don't just eyerlastingly
cook your honorable grandmammy's
rye dumplings, I'll. be doggon!
Whenever an old worldly-w wise,
pride-pampered puke of a preacher
does set out to make a genuine jab-
bering jackass of himself, he never
fails to get there with both feet.
The Fool-Killer has handled quite
a variety of pumpkin-headed pulpit
Founders in it's time, but this crazy
California crank is an u%nclassifed
SuAAOoAIy. II ID q uuAidu
He craWls on his back and goes
wrong end foremost. He was born
ION a cloudy night, when they couldn't
see how to put his thinker in straight,
and he rode into the pulpit on the
hind wheels of bad luck. His preach
ing sounds like a cross between the
howl of a hell-cat and the foot of a
tin horn.
Casey at the Bat" is a d~ing-busted
jimdandy of a text to preach a SER
mon from, dog my cats if it amt.
And | think old man Baker makes
just about such a blooming bust at
the preaching business as Casey did
at the bat. You remember Casey
started out like he was just going to
put the game in his vest pocket and
walk off with it.. But it wasn't more
than three flaps OF "a June-bug's wing
till great Casey had struck out .
And it looks to me like that fool
preacher struck out the first pass be
made at it.
Baseball is such an ALFRED i'm
portant business that the week days
are not long enough to play enough
OF it in, and SO the Rev. Fool Baker
would like to e Mr.. Casey hit the
Sabbath a few whacks with his base
ball bat and break it all to 1indera-
lions.
A pretended preacher who has no
more respect for the Sabbath han
that ought to be compelled to live for
twelve years on raw baseballs, and
have them rammed down his ungodly
gooz1e with the big end of a baseball
bat till his belly hung out over the
Waistband of his breeches like a
s~econdstory bay-window full of
green turnips.
And he thinks it is better to spend
$~l5,OOO.OOO on baseball than on For
| elgn Missions. Jumping Jerusalem!
And that from a thing that calls itself
a preacher! Why, honey, that Teller
amt no more fit to preach the gospel
: than a jackass is fit to teach a sing
ing school.
1t looks like tomfoolery to spend
fifteen million dollars on baseball or
foreign missions either while we
have such bowling heathens right
here in our own country as the Rev,

EVERYTHING WOBBLEs ONCE.

1t becomes iMy SOl6luH uuIy u q
vest a few streaks Of hide from the
well-fed carcass of my esteemed
friend, Mr.. AL Fairbrother, who pub
fishes a magazine called Every
thing at Greensboro, N. @.
hate like fury to do this, because
AL and myself are mighty good
friends. IN fact, I think so much OF
| AL that I am bound to correct him
when / see him going wrong. | have
read Everything with as much in
terest as a preacher reading his BIZ
BILE, and I have always found it to
be an exceptionally sane and sensible
journal.
But in his July number Mr.. Al
Jumps %astradd1e of his gasoline buzz
wagon and tries his blamedest to run
over everything in forty miles of the
road. In an article headed, "The
Day That Will Come" the able editor
uncorks himself on the automobile
situation. He takes the ground thai
laws to regulate the use of the stink
wagon are savagely cruel and al
together unjust. The auto should
have the same freedom on the pub
has. There should be no speed limit
and if the plutocrat in his automo'
bile, going sixty miles an hour, meets
or passes a poor man with his wife
and baby driving a scarey horse to
buggy, the plute has a perfect RICH
to turn up his nose and whiz by like
a bat out of hell, and if the frightened
horse turns over the buggy anG
makes sausage meat out of the pool
occupants it don't matter a doggo1
bit. They had no business to get il
the way.
That's the argument that Brother
Al puts up, and to carry his point h
cites us to the railroad train and re
marks that the train don't have tt
stop every time a farmers horse get
scared at it. He wants to know, then
why the law must make the auto
mobile stop and not apply in lik'
manner to the train.
Why, Mr.. Everything, the tvs
cases are no more alike than day il
like night. You may have noticed
that the railroad train tries to sta.
on it's track, as a general rule. /
sometimes gets off the track, but i
never does it on purpose, and it neve
goes far after it gets off. 1t don
make a habit of getting out an
snorting around over the countr,
roads like the devil on a big drunk.
Let the automobiles make them
road of their own and stay on it Xix
the train does, and that will settl
the question for all time. Roads wer
first made for horses and horse
drawn vehicles, When the steam
cars came into existence the frs
thing they did was to make them
road of their own, and they hav
always made an honest effort to sta
ION their own road. l.
But when the automobile put in it
appearance it thought it coul
scare the horses off of the dirt road
and take possession of them. An
