A Neat Sum Realized.

       That was a hot game of ball played between the Green and the Yellow "Mother Hubbards" at Reed park diamond.
       The feature of the game was the off style of teh costumes of the players.  Each player was attired in a mother hubbard costume of the very latest (?) style and pattern.
       The game resulted in a score of 14 to 3 in favor the greens and a purse of $27.05 in favor the Ladies' Wednesday afternoon social club.
       The sensations of the game were the three bagger hits of "Miss" Ikie Aronsohn and "Miss" Ely McKinney.
       The sport was pronounced good by admirers of the national game.
       The players were as follows.

       Greens:  Barnes, Hosteters Humphrey, Snodgrass, Price, Cayton, Barton, McKinney, Hunnicutt.

       Yellows:  Davis, Sewall, Lenoir, Fannin, Houghton, Aronsohn, Wood, Spawn; Sims, Maxey.
