To Be Regular Thing

Inc paH game between the grocery
men and dry goods men yesterday was
staged without a hitch. As advertis-
ed, the procession formed on Hibiscus
street near the banks, headed by the
Citizens band, and marched to the ball
grounds, arriving there about ago.
Many and varied were the attractions
afforded the people as this novel pa
rade, with military air, under the di-
rection and command of Capt. H. L.
Loomis, wendell it's way to the battle
field. Every one that could find gang
way for foot or car was in line of
march. Those who could not get a
place Immediately in line took to the
sidewalks Or cut across lots headed
for the grounds. The Citizens band,
unde rthe leadership of ]. D. Smith,
provided music, playing a few pieces
on the corner to call the crowd and
furnishing the marching music on the
way to the park. The members of this
band are deserving of especial credit
for having left their several places
of work and rallied to the call of the
board. Perhaps they did as much as
any other influence to get the people
together. However that may be. the
crowd got together and in good shape
and numbers.
AT 4.30, after some preliminary
working out by the two teams, the
WAS called with Ed Klosterman
Louis e lyf 5l hahls v aalpiEes and
the two teams lined up, many com
ments{ were heard anent the splendid
physiq&es, the attractive forms and
tasty uniforms.
The Scraps came first to bat with
Loomis up. He fell an easy victim to
Barnum's curves, while Evans and
Schargus followed suit in rapid sue
cession. The crowd began to sit W
and take notice. Some remarked tina
Barnum was a professional and had
no business in. the game. For the
remnants Brown was the first to sue
cumb to Wharton, the twirler for the
Scraps. Barnum came next and scored.
Chidester was left on base and the
Scraps came in again for the first half
of the second
We will not attempt to give the
plays in detail. Several star plays
were made while the contending sides
battled for the victory. In the second
inning Shaw knocked the cover off the
ball and scored. This was the only
run in this inning for the Scraps. The
Remnants came to bat and went down,
one two, three. Thus ended the sec
ond lesson.
Inning 8 found the players of both
sides getting "riled" and determined.
Neither side made a run. In the 4th
Young pasted the sphere for the
Scraps and made a run amid the
cheers of the crowd. It was the only
run they got in this inning. The Rem
nants failed to score and the game
stood to 1. Betting was evenly di-
vided at this time, as indeed it was
throughout the game. In the fifth the
Scraps got their dander up and scored
8 runs by LOOMS, Young and Evans.
The Remnants now began to realize
that something must be done And
they certainly acted according to the
thought. They had an inspiration.
They brought Loescher out of appar-
ent obscurity and he started in by
sending the hall so far over the center
fielder's head that it was out of sight.
Of course he scored. This seemed to
encourage the other counter jumpers
for the Remnants and they began to
eat things up. Barnum walked to the
first and, true to his nature, wormed
his way around the course to home
plate. Chidester came to bat next,
making a hit and scoring a run.
