The baseball game at the Missouri Valley College grounds Friday afternoon was more comical for its costumes thatn interesting for fine playing; although the game was good. However, all the players are out of practice even if those were tagged "New York", "Cincinatti," etc. In this case there was more in the name than in the game--just a good time for the crowd that looked on.
The representatives of the National League, etc., came out with victory hanging from their bats, having won by a score of 17 to 12. The lining was as given below:
MISTLETOE CLUB VS PICKED NATIONAL LEAGUERS
F. W. Miles, P., (Brown) Mathewson, New York
Ben Striker, C. (Gore) O'Conner, Pittsburg.
DeVere Jackson, 1st, (Bryant) McGann, St. Louis
Ralph Duggins, 2d (Duggins) Daly, Brooklyn
Alba Ringo, 3d, (Grecian) McGraw, Baltimore
H. H. Hopkins, S. S. (Ward) Corker, Cincinnati
Harry Wilson, L. F., (Turner) Burkett, St. Louis
Theo. Mayer, R. F., (Cooper) Wagner, Pittsburg
Frank Naylor, C. F., (Goodwin) VanHaltren, New York
Umpire, Jack Branahan
The proceeds were $15, while the amount left after expenses
was $10.25. This was turned over to the band. The INDEX was
sorry the band boys did not give the crowd more music on this occasion
as the crowd was disappointed in this. Their music is always appreciated
and everyone had hoped to hear more of it.
