for Charity. .2.
CHESTY ULTIMATUMS
BY TEAM CAPTAINS
All Star Aggregation Will Parade to
Park from City Hall Behind Band
and Game Will Be Called at 5
O'clock to Insure Its Being Over
Before Nightfall.

Ihelr hon0rs, the members of the
city council and Mayor Murphy and
representatives of the city boards,
brilliant, all-star aggregation of past
performers, the like of which is sell
dom gathered in one boarded enclos-
ure, will stage what promises to be
some real vaudeville at Oliver park
next Sunday afternoon when the
council and the city boards will play
their annual baseball game for charity.
Committees are already at work
selling tickets and to say that they
are going like hot cakes would be far
from superlative degree of COMPARE
son. The sale is already large beyond
expectations and the gate receipts
promise to be the largest of the sea-
son.
The game itself isn't going to be
any affair of the outlots. It will be
perhaps the most unique and really
wonderful baseball exhibition that has
ever been staged in this section of
the United States. Steel corporations
reservation. It will be for "blud."
There is certain to be BUNCH of
heavy hitting, all hands will strive to
hit the bull in center field end not
the least Of the attractions will be
the grand free street parade behind a
band at 2 o'clock from the city hall
to the baseball grounds, when it is
hoped to have both teams in full uni.
form with president Boylan of the.
council and Chairman Pat @Coffey Of
the police and fire commission at the
head.
City officials are entering into the
spirit of the affair with commendable
energy and they propose to give the
people the worth of their money and
more. The teams are to be chosen
from the following tentative lineups:
Council-Mayor Murphy, President
Boylan, Aldermen Heritage, NOLAN,
Mattson, Lundstrom, McGhee, Coffey,
and Harvey, City Engineer Ed. john
son, Keith Maitland and City Clerk
Bickford. Judge Carey will positively
umpire which seems to insure fair
deal all around.
City Boards-Peter Matchefts, J.
W. Murphy, J. A. McCulloch, Fred
Anthony, Chief of Police Rice, Patrol
man Dolan, Henry Ole, w. J. Schulz,
Dan Shea, Otto A. Poirier, Herman
Nathanson, Henning Erickson and
Frank Hughes.
"The city boards are going to have
nothing on u.s." said President Boy
Ian, captain of the council team Tues
day. 1--WE will beat them city block.
We shall start playing promptly at
3 o'clock so that there will be no pro-
spect of having to call the affair be-
cause of darkness and the people are
going to see ball game that is as
good as anything we have seen around
here for long time."
"The council bunch are pretty ches-
ty," said Captain Cofey, "but we have
the goods on us. We shall defeat them
easily. There is too much beef in the
bunch and they are out of condition
and like every other bunch of has
beens they are unable to relize that
they are slipping. The people are
buying tickets literally and we look
for a big crowd and that's what we
want as it will be particularly pleas
ing to us to defeat the council before
what they call vast concourse Of
people," *.=
