MethOdiSts fnlnerse
 Baptist Brethren

On Thursday evening as the shades were settling over the gory field the Methodist s. 5. ball tos- sers were crowned the victors over the cock-sure Baptists, IT to IA. Notwithstanding the fact that s. s. stands for Sunday School. when applied to the Methodist team it stands for sure-snagging, sweet ,swatting, as evidenced by the fact that they successfully sprinkled the Baptists with base hits of every known variety and before the fracas had progressed for half an inning the Baptist side of the congregation was immersed in the slough of deep dispair from which they never emerged during the whole after
 noon, although they came up for air several times after the fifth inning.
 For the first four stanzas MT. 8Slusser had the Baptists on his hip and they ate from his clammy paw nicely, but along about the fifth frame they mixed a few solid blows with a handful of Methodist mis- cues and amassed about five tallies before they could be stopped. From then on it was a question of wheth- CT they could make enough before the game ended to come out on top, and they came so close to doing this that several Methodists almost fell from grace in the excitement. Earned runs Cn either side were about as scarce as prayer meeting attendants, most of the counters being the result of some wild and reckless heaving in which the Bap- lists slightly exceiled. The Methodist infield was running smooth and
 pretty till Newborn at first, stuck out a finger ard pulled back a nub which necessitated some changes l in the chicken-eaters lineup which worked much better--for the Bap- { lists.
 Rambling around the center pas ture for the Methodists was Johnny Maynard, who gobbled flies just like 1 tanglefoot ana held just as tight Kid Lindsey, behind the willow, per | formed like a veteran, while the guardian of the third bag, Ruben
 Bullard, played a creditable game, 1 The entire team, with one or two exceptions, hit the old pill like they
 were used to it, Maynard and RiveS being especially efficient with theil wallops.
 | For the Baptists young McLendou short-stopped in classy fashion and
 landed on one of Mr. Slusser's choice offerings for a four-piy wal lqp. Hampton in cencer cavorted abound under some nice chances ana
