A game of base ball was played on Sunday afternoon between two picked nines from this community. Although not advertised the specta- tors numbered about twenty-five and laughed more than they would have at Barnum’s show. The feat— ure of the one team’s playing was the good work done by the battery a Duteh one at that. The playing of both teams was very fast and it kept “Pinky” the umpire, busy to keep track of the ball, who had to have his drops between each inning. Hardy and Duffy were the op- posing battery and outside of a foul tip touching the latter in tho face, everything passed along nice- ly as did also the balls that went through the catcher’s feathertick. The fielding of both teams was on the ‘bum’. Losing ths ball, over- throws, errors and threatning to kill the umpire were enough to make a dead man laugh. The same push contemplates haviag a boat race on the Chigues the first Sunday after a heavy rain. —- Salunga Notes John Piefer has slightly improved, M.
