PEN TEAM IN HOSPITAL
BENEFIT GAME

On Sunday next at 1880 there will
be a unique ball game played in. this
city. the proceeds to go to the Hos
pital Fund.
The Wyoming State P~enitentiary
baseball team will play a game of
ball with the Rawlins team at the
Fair Grounds.
Warden Hadsell states that he has
a mighty fast baseball team at the
pe%nitentiary and that the people of
Rawlins who attend this game will
have an opportunity to e some
dandy players in action.
The only condition under which
Warden Hadsell would permit the
p%enitentiary team to play'outside the
pen grounds was that every cent of
the proceeds of the game go to the
benefit of the hospital.
1t is seldom that the people of
Rawlins have an opportunity to see
a baseball game such as will be
staged next Sunday and it Is hoped
that there will be a large turnout.
