Each man was given a short broom and made brave attempts at moving a soft- ball between the goal of the op posing team. The Firemen came out triumphant with a score of ihree to the Lions' one. The main attraction of the after noon was the donkey baseball game Which was played on the regula tion size diamond. The rules of he game differed from the regular rules o f baseball on several counts. When a man is at bat there is no .trikeout. After three strikes, the batter is given a scoopshovel in place of the regulation bat. He may hit only three foul balls and if he hit over that number he must ride his donkey backwards. The pitcher and catcher, sans steed, are allowed to field the ball only in a designated strip which runs between the two men. The infielders may field the ball only if they liave hold o f the reins of their mount. The outfield may leave the donkey to pick up the ball, but must return to their mount before throwing it. T h e rule which accounted for the most outs stated that a runner may not touch the ground after leaving first base. The donkeys seemed quite determined that no one would ride them, but if one brave person succeeded in getting aboard he was taken for an ex tensive ride. The mount would not stop until he felt like it.
