 Game Postponed

Rain descended at various times and in various quantities dur ing the day. and at o'clock the managers agreed that, very few 1 players on either team being Bap- lists, it would be best not to play in the rain. The sun then prompt ly pushed out through the clouds to tantalize the players, but they had made their decision and they stuck to 1t.
 The field was more or less of swamp, anyway, and the players were glad to lay off and keep from going stale. It also afforded One night when there would be fines for appearance. and the only ones who complained were Garfield Jones. H. A. James and I. J. Birnbaum. who had laid in vast stocks of rain coats and rubbers to sell on the field.
