MIGHTY DIAMOND CLASSIC SLATED TUESDAY NIGHT
Firemen's s Ball Promises to Be Gigantic Struggle
 of Strong Men

There may have been some great games in the Gastineau Channel Baseball League this summer, but you haven't seen anything yet.
 At 6:30 o'clock sharp, next Tues day evening at Firemen's park, Ju- neauS all-time baseball classic is to be played. Those brawny men of the hook and ladder are going to cross bats in what can be assured to be the most gigantic struggle ever to have taken place on local base ball diamond.
 The opponents are Company No. l of the Juneau Fire Department, Minard Mill, foreman, captain, manager and umpirebaiter, and Company No. 2, foremaned, cap tained and managed by that ster- ling salmon-chocker Sim" Mac Kinnon. It is authoratively reported that Sim" has bait that even leads umpires to drink and batsmen to knock homeruns every time they go to the plate. When approached on the subject, 'faucet-expert" Mill declared, When Company No. 1 gets after that coho-chocker and his gang they won't know what hap pened until we have made about 10 runs."
 "Humphl" retorted Salmon checker Sim" they haven't seen us use our bait. Boy, was bait base hits"
 Full regalia is the uniform of the day for the momentous contest All catchers must carry axes to cut the runners off at second, according to the latest ground rules, and Bat Boy Penny" Mulvihill emphatically declared the grounds rules were going to be enforced, if he had to put both teams off the field, to answer a fire call near the ceme- tery.
 Its the cemetery for them if catch any of 'em chopping through the roof at home" he added.
 To prevent too strong language by coachers, gas masks will be com pulsory for the players assigned to the coaching lines, but every coach CT who doesn't shout Kill the Um- pire,' and call him a "thieving yell low dog" at least eight times in every inning will be disqualified and sent to the outfield with a pitchfork to put up the "hey, hey from the bleacherites.
 So at 6:30 Tuesday night.
 Play Ball
