From New Mexico to Have Charge of the
Game—A Glimpse of the Orients-Reserve
Battery.
"The afl~u.il bull' game ~ oetweeri "the
West and East side business mon has
been for tho past three years an event
which the inhabitants of our peaceful
city look forward to with the same
eagerness that the small boy yearns for
the Fourth of July. At this time ''the
cares that infest the day" are' forgotten
and everyone goes to the base ball arena
to yell for their respective heroes.
Next Tuesday, September 10,. is the
time set for the battle between the West j
and East side gladiators, and more fun
is promised those who attend than they
will ever have an opportunity oE enjoying again, evan if they were to live to be
as old as Methuselah.
An umpire from New Mexico has been
scoured at an enormous expense to preside over the game, und he will havo the
entire poiic" force aa a body guard, ho
.will also bo supplied with a steel breast
plate and wire mask to protect him from
tho foul tips, grape-vine curves, and the
many splinters that will sure to' be flying
from the bats of the gladiators.
Tho West Side InvikcibiiEs have in
tho past carried away the honors, and its
dimes to doughnuts that they will keep
up the reputation of thia side ot the
street am1 rightfully retain their name.
The inaaager of the nine, Mr. Alward, is
convinced that it is the strongest team
in this Bsction of tho United States, as
one of the be^t players, Ed. Waller, was
known at ono time to have caughb a
foot ball, and it is said <that the others
bawled considerably when they were
childress.

Looking back o'er the years,
On this, thy Natal day;
Are there not more smiles than team,
That mark thy onward way.
Thy Father's guiding hand,
Hath strewn thy path with flowers-
Emblems of the better land,
E'en in Sorrows darkest hours.
The friends of long ago,
Your memory brings to mind,
Like shadows come and go,
And leave their trace behind.
Four score and six today,
Waiting the Fathers call;
■"Come tip tho shining way
And let life's burdens fall."
Thou hast not long to wait,
Thy sun is going down.
Faith views tho pearly gate,
And Mp?8 thy saintly crown.
The grave no victory gains,
Ovetf the righteous dead—
Only the poor remains
When the freed spirit hath fled.
