MOTHERS CLUB LUNCHEON
PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE

A pleasant and profitable occasion
was the luncheon served on the high
school campus yesterday at noon by
the Mothers Club. The ladies had
prepared a delicious menu of sand
witches, salads and ice cream and
cake.
Not only did the children enjoy
the luncheon. but many mothers
and a few fathers and brothers par
ticipated in the jolly occasion. One
could eat through the entire menu
for the small sum of 25c and prob
ably every one present did 50.
The object Of the club in holding
the luncheon was to augment the
soup fund, which has proved to be
such a boon 10 the children living
too far from the school to return
home for their dinner.

Everybody took in tho ball game
Thursday. The largest crowd Of the
season was out and the roofing IVES
exceedingly yociferous .at times. The
supporters Of tho Two rival teams took
great delight in taunting esch other
Whenever IN opportunity presented
itself. The handicap of the loss OF
their star first sacker, Fatty Bscker,
who Vas called out of the city on
business, and over-confidence were
the main factors which, led to the
down fall Of the A. A. team. Dame
Fortune smiled on tho Pirate clan and
they succeeded Ia nosine out a to 2
victory. It was . great game for the
Pirates to win. but heartbreaker for
the A. A. to lose.
PIRATES SCORE FIRST.
The Pirates scored two runs In the
third inning. Dsgo Getting famed,
but Alvin, the A. A. catcher, missed
the 3rd strike and then threw wild to
first. F. schweppe, the next man up
beat out nice bunt. G.. Schweppe
flew out to Lindemanas w. Burk
cracked single to right and Getting
scored on the throw-in. G. Burk next
up hit the ball or. the nose and another
score was registered for the Pirates.
The A. A. scored first in the fifth
when Lindemann was hit and later
scored on hit by Seifert, The
Pirates scored one in the sixt1s and
seventh frames. The Athleticstscored

The game was fast and many
brilliant plays were pulled of. Mgr.
Ahrens of the Pirates deserves . great
deal of credit for his untiring work
and to him belongs the credit for the
record made by the Pirate team 1t
would be useless to pick out individual
members of either club and give them
credit for playing good ball. Every
player on the two teams, played q
great game. The two pitchers Pfeiffer.
of the A. A. and Kuester, of the

Many fans are endeavoring to have
the two teams arrange q series OF
three or five games to be played on

would not create any expense for
either team and should draw larger
crowds than games with outside teams.
By doing this both teams would be
able to clear considerable amount of
money and give them good balance

and arrange these games. We all
