able day the men with deal Of sup
erfuous flesh and those lacking in
this feature, namely the Fat men and
Lean men of the Capital City, will
combat in a game for blood on the

The game will be called promptly

Judge Dolan has been elected to
officiate as umpire. He is we'll known

will be many who will be glad of the
chance to hurl pop bottles and other
missiles, should any close decisions be

From across the OF Missouri comes
hue and cry that a town named
Mandan has gathered together and
whipped into shape a baseball team
that they claim has no superior in
this section Of the state. In their
rash vociferation the Mandan howlers
even go farther and announce that
on Sunday, next, they will invade the
Capital City and administer a TRIM
ming to Manager Kinks crew of speed
demons that will make them forget
baseball and go, back to Kelly Pool
and shooting crap.
The Wielder of the pen at the fore
of publicity for the new nine garner
ed by Mandan baseball cranks even
even goes further and announces that
the locals have been shouting loud for
the past, few weeks but now craWled
back into their shells. Mebe. so, Mebe
so-but just wait. 80. ..+.. -.,- -.
Dolly" Elder and his gang of ball
tossers don't talk. very much believ-
ing in the old slogan, "actons speak
louder than words" The locals have
never been noted for their hollering
as to their ability but have merely
gone ahead and dished up an article
of ball superior. to any team in this
vicinity and have won games. Scores
during the recent games played are
proof enough of this statement.
Mandan has annexed some fast ca
