GIRLS' BASE BALL -- Communicated.  The girls have organized a base ball team which
they are sure can beat any team of boys, and furnish more fun for all the young
folks than anything since the fats and leans played their wonderful game here.  
There are nineteen girls and an umpire, one side captained by Miss Nellie McGREW
and the other by Miss Mae SLOAN, and are designated by red, white and blue and 
white, purple and black ribbons respectively.  The boys had better look "a leetle 
out" or the girls will show them a few things about base ball they never thought 
about.  Just ask Puckyhuddle Pete how they can play.
