What the Girls Would Like to See A good comic opera. The town girls let "our fellows" alone. A fine dress ball. A letter from their home fellow.

What the Boys Would Like to See. Another legitimate drama. A letter from their home girl. The girls give a few more parties. The town fellows let "our girls" alone. The lady fruits take in some "fly" girls. The literary societies meet in the evening. The girl who would rather walk than ride. The girl who would rather go to a ten cent hop than a dress ball. Base Ball Brieflets. The base ball season is almost over. Art Moak umpired the game Friday. Chapin is coming right out as a catcher. Allen is getting to be a bad man on first base. Patterson is the coming man for the left field, Tonlin is coming to the front as a second base man. Hogeboom has one of the best records in the nine. Little makes a good captain and holds his men level. The silver bull is now in the possession of the first nine. Misses Cook, Dunn and Wright viewed the game Friday. McBride made several difficult catches in left field Friday. A large number of town people witnessed the game Friday. Reynolds is the best short stop we ever saw. He is a fine base runner too. Cummings, though out of practice, still plays an excellent game. In Saturday's game Yohe made two home runs and two three base hits. Canfield and Yohe were warmly applauded when they made home runs Friday. The Washburn club failed to materialize Saturday. They had all they wanted the week before. First class base ball material was never so plenty as at present. There are at least twenty-five good players in school. The club is still a little in debt. Members of the association should see the captain at once, and settle. The game Friday between the first and second nines was closer and a better game in every way than the one with Washburn. If our eastern friend had been on the ground Friday we would have made him eat his words about "intellectual slouches." One of the best games ever played in the city was played on the grounds last Friday, between the first and second nines. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning, on account of darkness. The following is the score; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1st nine 1 5 5 0 0 2 1—14 2nd nine 0 2 0 4 2 2 3—13 Home runs, Canfield and Yohe. Three base hits, Yohe. Deford, White, and Cummings. Two base hits, Jackson, Canfield, Hogeboom (2). Little and Cummings. The Phi Gamm boys are happy! oh, so happy!
