deer edditoral, havin got up toun too
iait to git in the rase for the liggila-
tur i besides to go oaver to baisbawl
gain and see the likes for Torrents
play ginst the judges from abvul.
we'll, when i got ave there i foun
that Ford arnuld wus tryner set the
BASEBALL park on fire. askt russell
tomson whut wus the matter wifi ar
nuld and he sed that he thort arnuld
had bet a ford ginst a chaw of ter
hacker that Torrents wood win and
he wus feered that he wood lose the
bet SO he WIS tryin to set the game
err fire. well, i don't know. i suppose
that he wus not tryin to maik the
wether hot bekos the sun wits givin
its u%ndervided attintion to the plais
where I stood and every time i NOV
ed he soomed to moove too. if there
had bin sum distillt water ice which
sells on south main oaver there it
mite a cooled things off a little but it
seam that this had bin overlook by
the mannigemint and bradley reese.
|. Well after arnuld had tride to burn
up the ball ground as already stat
ed a ugly Teller frum donnerls steps
out in frunt of the abvul boys and
says that it is alling and agnue and
Bobo and sum uther teller and
every boldly hollers and the two
teens trots out on the feeld every
teller tryin to look as important as
babe ruth and ty Kob and myself
but nun of them did except Broos gal
lerway, old man gallerways best
looking and latest boy what gifts
his aents and annermashun from his
ma. well, i talks my stand back by the
baisbawn hog pen, which is sitterate
on the highest pint of the city ex-
cept the top of the stanpipe, so that
the dizzeaze gurms can puckalate to
evry korner of the sitty. j serpoas
that the sitty kounsal has bin too
bizzy to talk a noat of this fack and
that it think this is wun of them san
niterry hog pens bout which i bleeves
they has a audients, if 80 i is in ia
vur Of hitchin the whoal gang to one
of the poasts O. 'sed hog pen and let
them stand hitched all mite and smell
the arromer which it hand out both
by day and by mite. if there are any,
thing emmy binder then a city koun-
sal it must be a bat.
we'll, by that time the Torrent
fellers dun knocket up two, or three
hi balls which Broos ct up or sum
of the uther fellers and our bois had
ran in. well W. hit the ball wunst or
twict while we are gittin the range
of the TEEN, and in the seccint innin
we lit upon them, except truman
reems which was lookin at the pur-
ty gal with the red sack sittin on the
car whist bobo fang in three whoal
stracks on him. but this oanly made
truman mad bekos after awhile he
came in and knQckt the ball bout like
a eyklone do a tennent hous and
then he slammt it out in the direc-
ton of the perpriters hous of the
Dicing Brick kumpny, and trotted
till he got tired. then we runs
in two runs and felt better.
we'll arter awhile we let them git a
run by hevvy kitten and knocken the
ball where Broos cuddent git it, not
that he cuddent but he want to give
the uther bois a little parctice, know
in that they wood miss the ball and
give a hart to the boys from Lor-
rents and then step in and disappint
