THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

If Uncle Sam will grant permission

if they don't close up shop for the
afternoon, will be at the game, there
fore the business section will be en-
tirely deserted
OF course Uncle Sam viii rot close
the postoffce, nor will the Southern

those employed at these two offices
win be on hand when the umpire
