The Maize Critic from Maize, Kansas • 3

I ficient; hut I would say that It should bo beneath the dignity of any member of this society to even mention, either to or before these hoys anything in reference to this hull game. Many a person has gone astray; many a man has wandered from the path which he should tread; hut having seen the error of his ways, has returned it may he the same way with these hoys, so I would say, should you meet them, greet them with a warm hand-shake, a pleasant word and a sweet smile as of yore. Mr. Joe Spicring and Miss Anna Lawson are in charge of the programme for the next night. Yours Truly, Mauy Ann.

Mrs. Sarah Cobb died at the home of her son near Maize, May 7, 189G, aged 79 years, 2 and 23 days. She was born in Attleborough England. She was a member of the Primitive Methodise Church. Luck of time and space prevent more extensive notice.

Funeral services were held from the U. 13. Church this afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. E.

Farney. it or sponge olT of your neighbor to a litile paltry 25ct piece) you are pretty well acquainted with the main features of the game, and I have thought that a few illustrations showing the men and positions of the Jamesburg team would be of interest to a large number of Currie subscribers. In summing up: You will notice the man behind the bat is Fred Cook. lie is long, lean and lauky, and is what is known among It. 1J.

players as a cracker-jack. This man on 1st bnse is Dan Peterson. Nothing remarkable about him only lie plays good ball. This man on second is Will Aldrich, alias Ilunnewell, alias llunny. Ho is known by all base ball boys by the name of llunny.

I am not sure but what one or two of the girls of the Burg call him by the same name. You will also notice that he baa largely developed lung power On short stop we find Ohas. Uuerhaus. lie is not very large, hut lie lias well developed lung power. It is an (indisputable fact that he has the largest dovclopc ment of base ball lung power of any one in the team.

On 3d base you see Tom Pickens. Tom is all right, though it it is whispered a-round that while attending the Worlds Fair in Chicago, he became bewildered over a pretty lassie from the ould and his friends had great dif-liculty in getting him hack to Kansas. You will recognize Clias. Peterson in the box. Charles always keeps an eye peeled for an opportunity to make a grand stand play before the pretty occupants of the surrounding buggies.

In left field we find Will Cook. You will notice that his lung dcvelopomcnt is also great. In center field we sec Jim Lingo. Jim is all right, though for the life of me 1 cant tell why some of the girls persist in calliug him a bird. We find here in right field Simeon Glass.

Sim is not usuully hard to find--espeially about meal time. Pack here we see Manager Claude Aldrich. You will recognize him by his wearing two hats. I dont know how it came about, but I noticed that after the 4th inuing when Jamesburg had shown that she was still a winning team Claude secured a second hat and wore them both the rest of the afternoon. We suppose that he felt his head begining to rise up and spread out and wishing to keep it in as normal a condition ns possible, lie secured the second hat to help hold it down.

Back here, with downcast eyes, stand the four Jamesburg boys who have joined Colwich. Poor fellows. I would draw their pictures to. but I havent any BLUE chalk! They were dressed in Blue-bloomer Uase-ball-Breetcbes, and a sickly smile Oh, that ought to be suf PHYSICIAN and SURGEON, Criticisms, and Pointers. Still win oh' Its getting dry, grandmother.
