It is useless to speak of the barrels of fun that will be exhibited then, for all the Dlavers have been masters at the art in the past, and in fact a large per cent of the line-up will be players who have not by any means forgotten the little tricks of the game. So besides the many laughs you will have if you go. there will be some real good plavs without a doubt. The public is assured that the game will be umpired just about right. The umpire will be accompanied into the dia mond on this eventful day with the ele phant gun which Sir Samuel Baker took into the jungle when he ascended the Nile in 1869 with a commission from Queen Victoria to suppress the slave trade. This gun measures five feet four inches in length, shoots a pound slug, and weighs tourteen and three quarter pounds un loaded. As it has been known to kill ele phants in the next county, it will at least oe harmful to even the toughest ball play er at short range. The small umpire with the big gun will be able to render close decisions strictly on time and i. rag chewers will be used for wadding. NORTH SIDE Jay VanBjren. Sherwood Williams, Clarence Crawford.
