Notice
I
All stockholders of Farmers
Union Gin cSLMill Co., are notified
to attend a regular meeting for
One of the most amusing en-
tertainment. and at the same
time the most successful in i
reaching the ends where unto it
was, given—bringing, in the cash
— was the ball game played by
local talent on the college grounds
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock.
The ladies of the Cemetery Aid
Association were in need of funds
7;cqT'c'/A. . - v. ■ •
to carry’ on the good work they
are doing a,t Edge wood ceme-
tery, and a base ball game was
arranged between the heavy and
lights of the town—or strictly
speaking between the leans and
fats. The weight of the fat men
varied from 205 to 250 pounds
and the twelve men tipoed the
beam at 2,645 pounds. The light-
est lean weighed 120 pounds and
the heaviest 150 pounds, and the
twelve totaled 1,615 pounds.
Harry Kerrey was captain of
the Fats, and commenced drill-
ing his men Friday of last week.
Karl White captain of the leans,
gave close attention to the ability
of his men. As t h e longest,
leanest place on which to display
their colors the Leans chose the
fire bell in the square, and run
up a flag of red and white, and
looking to the eternal fitness of
things the Fats should haye
selected the water tower and
decorated same with blue and
black.
On leaving the square Tuesday
for the field of contest, quite a
demonstration was made by each
side. The Fats had a float deco-
rated with their colors, drawn
bv two Rocky Mountain Cana-
ries and driven bv a “muchly”
decorated coachman. The Leans
put on considerable agony and
were taken to the grounds in the
White, Moffett and Batchler
autos. They overtook the Fats
and the machines caused the
side-tracking of the donkies, but
the grounds were reached with-
out accident to either side and
the teams were given a hearty
greeting bv the large crowd as-
sembled.
The line-up was: Fats; H. E.
Rawlins, catcher; Harry Kersey,
^pitcher; G. L. Graves, 1st base;
Don Mauldin, 2nd base; Alex
Mitchell, 3rd base; E. M. Curry,
short stop; Fred Green, left
field; E. U. Thompson center
field; H. E. White,1 right field;
substitutes, T. R. Fondren and
F. J. Wilson. ^
•Leans: Jas. Long, catcher;
Dr. Wills, pitcher; K. L. White,
1st base; Jas. Hamilton, 2nd base;
S. A. Rawlins, 3rd base; E. O.
Flowers, short stop; Lester
White, left field; Walter Hulbert,
center fiield; J. M. Billingsley,
right field; substitutes, Will Mof-
fett, Paul Henry, Arthur Hun-
ley, W. B. Benton.
The Fats were in the lead at
the end of the third inning, when
the score stood 3 to 0. A num-
ber of them were put out of com-
mission bv that time by the un-
' ’• V * . - - -\- -V ' ■' •.. ■ , • 7
usual effort and the Leans got in
the lead and staid there. At the
close of the game, the score stood
11 to 19.
While the Fats lasted they
played better ball then the Leans,
Kersev, Graves and Rawlins do-
ing fine work. The Leans had
everything jn their favor, and
were trained to endurance by
practice on the tennis court.
The veiling was long and lustly,
and an error brought forth laugh-
ter that equaled the applause
given a good play. Our pencil
is unequal to the occasion, and
we found no sport in town who
would attempt a description of
the game. Sufficient to sav, if
the game was not the most scien-
tific, it was the most amusing,
good natured and cleanest game
ever played in the city, and the
ladies realized $90.50 from gate
receipts and sale of cold drinks,
etc. 'Phis amount will be used
in special work needed to be

ors and other important business,
