THAT BALL GAME.
riayecl iVeaneaday EVelf Between
tbe Concord Kids and the Jlfl..
the Concord Kids and the Harris
burs: Giants The Laughable Game
of the Season Only Twenty-Six
Rhus Blade By the Two Teams.
Not since the uFats" and "Leans"
played baseball last year have we
bad such an amusing game as was
had on the diamond Wednesday
evening. Only a small crowd, how
ever, witnessed the game.
The game was played between
the Harrisburg Giants and Con
cord's second nine, called the "Con
cord Kide." Our boys a few days
ago made the arrangements for the
game, but got it up more especially
for the amusement of the grand
. stand than for anything else, but
the Harrisburg boys didn't come
for foolishness they came to play
ball and to wipe the face of the
earth up with our boys.
Richmond Reid was selected as
the umpire, while Prof. Lewis, as
beet he could, kept the runs, but
this time he struck a game that he
couldn't well score the errors, as
there were entirely too many.
Luke King went in the box for
the Giants while Jake Cope went
behind the bat. King threw splen
did balls, and the boys made some
splendid flies off of him, but he also
succeeded in making so feral of the
Kids drop their bats and wait until
their time came again. But the
Kids had the battery of batteries

Robert Keealer did the twirling act

Keesier, like Mains, pitches a
every batter was
guaranteed a hit before nearing the
home plate. But for fear his right
arm mignt be injured in the eame
he was taken from the pitcher's
box after several innings and put
behind the bat. After testing his
excellency there, it was unanimous
ly decided by both teams that he
ought to play first base.
Some of the players on both sides
made nice three-baggers on errors.
Une of the Harrisburg Giants,
when nearing the home plate,
deemed it advisable to run over
Catcher Billy Caldwell, but the
runner was simply enveloped in
Caldwell's arms. But the Giants
made it back on us later on in the
game when one of their runners
just simply run aerainfit fn
Richmond and knocked him out of
tne path.
At the beginning of thn fnnrtfc
inning tfye Giants had made the
popular score of 16 to 1. Noah Cor.
rell was next put in the box for the
-los, and for the first time in the
game the Giants didn't get to make
a score.
About this time when the Har
risburg boys went to the bat, they
found that some smdll W w

stolen their bats from them. As
our team did not daKr ;
. ball like the stealing of bats, our
um round one of our small boys
had stolen them and he was made
to go and get them at once. Our
team is to be congratulated on this
act, and the boy who did it should
be censured and watched hereafter.
The costumes of eome of the
players were amusing, but none
looked more handsome than
"Shake" Willeford, whose form was
admired by all on the grand-stand.
Shake" played some good ball too.

At 2 o'clock yesterday the remains

in the city cemetery.

mciated at the house. His brief
officiated at the house. His brief
bot beantifnl address was baaed on
John 5-24. The speaker shows that
the deceased from her infancy had
heard the word of God, believed it
and in her life put into practice
what she heard and that according
to the promise of Christ, she had
now secured the end of her faith
which is everlastiBg life. '
Rev. Prof, W H T Dan, who two
years ao officiated at the funeral of
Mrs. Bakke, conducted the services
in the church. On that occasion he
pleaded touchingly with the bereaved
husband and daughter to say from
their hearts "Thy will be ,done,"
now he impressed upon the grief
stricken father the words from the
Love Song of Paul, 1 Cor. 13 13 :
"And now abideth faith hope,
and charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity:" The
exposition which the Rev. Prof, ea' e
of the three chief Christian graces
as well as the application he made
on the bereaved one as , Christian
father and pastor was something of
the best we have heard. The sermon
was replete with sound instruction
and tender comfort which could not
fail to lift up the sinking spirit and
bind up. the broken heart of him
who mourned He paid a high but
well deserved tribute to the Chris
tian lovely character of Miss Lydia,
which all who know her must sub
stantiate.
The Lutheran Grace church was

with fragrant roses and flawers.

knowledgement for the toying kind

express my sincere gratitude to Dr.
M L Stevens for his faithful devoted
attention to my dear Ljdia during
her protracted sickness; to the Evans
gelical Lutheran 8t . James Church
and its pastor, Rev. Miller, for the
gratuitous tender of a temporary
resting place for my child, and to
the members of my dear Grace
Church for the efficient help they

it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto
me." Matth 26:40
