of overalls of beautiful hue, striped
shirts and felt somberos. (Fancy work
was the diversion.) The Leans ap-
peared in suits of Khaki dark colored
shirts and caps advertising Pillsbury's
Best. City Commissioner Kirk did
the receiving for the Fat mems ag-
gregation and wore regulation base

rules clearly defined that all regula-
ton suits must be barred After the
fracas the conquering heroes were
served delightful luncheon, consist
ing of bread and water.
Smith did the heaving for the Leans
and twirled in good form up to the
fifth, when he was replaced by Bauers.
Chief Downing wore the breast pro-
tector and mask. Carl Kositzky was
the spit ball artist for the Fats and
got by nicely. He was forced, on
many occasions, to resort to the water
pail in order to work up juice enough
to make his splitter work. r..
Another feature of the contest was
the enthusiasm displayed by everyone
in attendance and particularly large
crowd of rooters occupied seats in the
upper extremity of the grand stand.
Cheer Leader Louis Goldman was in
charge and under his able guidance
the rooters worked themselves into
frenzy. ABE" was in absolute COM

to get on the right side of the husky
catcher so that he can sell him some
insurance.
