the ball about to hit her, ducked,
held her bat before her face to shield
herself, and the ball hit the bat and
bounded far enough to enable her to
reach first base. However, she un-
fortunately tried to steal a base out
in left field, mistaking it for second
base, and was naturally put out.
Lofgren of the Leans did this also,
making terrific dash for shortstop,
and therefore receiving the same
penalty. Dickey showed her ability
as star player by accidentally al
lowing the ball to hit her bat. and,
being a naturally swift runner, ran
in her most graceful manner to first
base, and in the course of Is minutes
made a home run, falling into the
fond embrace of her captain IS arms.
Orne and Emma Rosin, the main
players, did wonderful work as the
battery, and succeeded in striking
out many of the Leans. Sarah
Schurrer and Clara Rosin also did
highly commendable work for the
Leans, but found their superiors
when competing with the ''obesi-
ties," who, besides being hard
hitters, were swift and graceful run
ners. Mott and Uglem distinguished
themselves as great runners and may
in the future compete with some of
the great A thenian racers.
Prof. Vaudeville acted as coach
for the Fats and Prof. Marshall for
the Leans. The latter distinguished
himself by making the round to the
bases with each runner. Coach
Vaudeville received a severe repri-
mand from Umpire Ewing for run
ming across the field without per-
mission, therefore showing that he
was unacquainted with the rules of
etiquette on the ball grounds.
The Fats. succeeded in making 16
scores, and their opponents II scores.
Tears of agony trickled down the
marched from the ball grounds.
After this famous ball game the
fat girls ran a race. the captain
winning by inches.
The instructors, consisting of
Profs. Marshall and Vaudeville and
Misses Whiting and Challman, were
then called upon to run a one legged
race. They reluctantly took their
places and at a given signal made a
most notable dash. With a look of
determination on their faces they
sped along, unmindful of anything
that might be in their way, and at
last reached their goal. 1t was
tie, therefore credit could be given
to no one. -.@
Several notable boxing matches
were witnessed. Coleman and
Schmidt tried their luck at two
rounds. Each one proved to be
equal to the other, although size was
a contrasting feature, and after
dozens of biffs and bangs we're heard,
the two quietly laid down the gloves
for the next couple. Shockley and
Uglem were called to battle and,
after fierce conflict, Shockley proved
too much for her opponent and the
fight ended.
To assuage the hunger of all big
feed was partaken of and all ate like
little children after a hard days
work wedding the onions. Several
unconsciously ate trlt1e too much,
but, as it would be rude to mention
names, we will forget it,
We must also relate, lest we forget,
that the instructors abandoned their
pedagogical dignity and we're trans
formed into frolicsome little lads
and lassies. We might say right
here that it is perfectly natural for
children to disagree on the rules of
any game, and this they did in play
ing ''mumble-de-peg.' In fact they
we're the most quarrelsome we ever
witnessed. At the conclusion of
this game, the judge: Mr.. Marshall,
drove wooden peg into the ground,
and the losers had to pull up this
peg with their teeth. The lot fell
to Misses Challman and Whiting and
you can imagine the rest. Miss
Challman succeeded most wonder
fully in pulling the peg, but after
three or four desperate efforts made
by Miss Whiting, she became indig-
nant and refused to proceed any
further. Therefore Mr.. Vaudeville
graciously offered to secure the peg.
Near one of the huge eucalyptus
trees you can see the facial images
of our female instructors carved in
the ground. You are at liberty to
ask them the details, which will not
be printed at this writing.
At sunset the crowd started back
for town and the artistic manner in
