That was a great ball game on Tues.
day evening between the Concretes and
the Counter-jumpers, being the result
OF challenge from the Patterson &C.
nlent crew and the city clerks and bust
ness men. While naturally there were
some pretty wild plays at times there
was some pretty good ball playing just
the same as the mines each bad some
good material. The only mistake in the
game was the choice of the umpire who
was no less than the sedate and digni-
fed mayor Of the city. But that he was
perfectly fair to both sides is evidenced
by the unanimous vedict of the nlnes'
and all the spectators that he was "rot-
ten," and should be sentenced to cap
tai punishment. There were several
"home runs" made at times when the
batter failed to hit che ball. The first
baseman was Charley LaF fond and as he
is rather brief of stature sometimes the
ball would pass over his head, or else so
low that his feet would get in the way
when he tried to pick it up. Patterson
not succeeding in getting a hit with the.
common bat,. took 2x6 scantEng, and
much to his own surprise at the first de-
livery found the ball had hit the lower
end of his improvised' bat, but he made
first base. As short stop, he was not
m UGH good as the bstted balls passed
through or around him without much
trouble. There were quite number of
other remarkable plays Of the same ma
ture, but as we said there was.seme
good playing as we'll. The scors was
6 to 2and Pat went home happy, but
his honor, the umpire, was noaeed
climbing over the-back fence.
