to call a halt to the battle of July
18th, 1908, because of the intense
heat in which it had been 'layed.
Note the heavy padded pants
that the players OF this day wore,
presumably to take much of the
sting out of contact with the dead
ball" of that time and also bodily
contact with players. Also the
kerchief worn by the umpire to
help in Kidding his brow of pers-
piration caused by his labor on
the hot, July day. Quite a change
has been made in the gloves and
bats used also, as n will see that
a larger, shorter club was en-
ployed than the one now in use.
Gloves now are much larger than
the ones seen on the hands OF the
1900 performers.
According to Ed Stone, who is
now railroad agent at Lake Wacca-
NAV, the living members of his
Boardman team are scattered
