the other evening which showed there is some gal lantry about some of our young men even if they are ball players a young lady of jthe east end while taking a quiet lonely stroll became suddenly fatigued and in an almost fainting condition theyoungman pfar off rushed gallantly to the rescue and placing his arm gently but firmly around her waist assisted her gently to a seat on a old steel rail ie the track of all places fand supported her fainting frame until she recovered sufficiently to proceed homewards with his assistance his utter indifference as to the damage inflicted on a new pair of trousers by the rail was a little surprising the cards are not yet out whajt is it that takes one of our most itaidand sober old bachelors prowling iirbund the east end chiefly at all hours of the night especially the witching hour tf midnight and thereabouts having had occasion on sundry recent nights to indulge in a little midnight parade for the imme diate benefit of the smallest little

admission fee a trifle tis true to witness the game and it was the impression of many that the visiting club ought to have paid the patient spectators for watching their extraordinary antics notably those of their longlegged catcher who acted as if he had springs in his heels a sort of a springheeled jack talk about kickers theyve got that down fine but kick as they might they couldnt rattle the redoubtable ike not much the chief bh cockalorum of the kickers seemed to be an individual who played centre field who at times varied this by trying to be fanny as a humor ist he is a lamentable
