Gus Congressional ligaments and
muscles too sore to consider anything
but rest today.
The score at the end of thegame,
which was witnessed by large gath
ering of society folk. was 81 to 20 in
favor of the Democrats.
Every lawmaker who participated in
the game realizes today that Dame Ma
ture's laws regarding intermissions be-
tween baseball playing works bad for
the body.
That STOPPING" which featured the
game, started shortly before 4 o'clock,
as the Marine Band struck up, Every
body's Doin 1t Now" and Walter John

part of Umpire johnson caused a rem
tpiscent smile to hover over the face of
Uncle Joe. He remembered when he
with the gavel umpired and commanded
the two aggregations before him.
Much Bending.

first chorus from the feminine fans in
the grandstand as the two teams of
lawmakers started the combat. From
that time until the end of the game the
expression mingled with the strains. of
