The Printers Fight It Out

For some time have been heard in printing circles the mutterings of a rising storm. The printers at the Register office began to play ball a little and emboldened by a fair degree of success began to teil around town that they were not afraid to meet any team the other printers of the city could muiter together. In fact they went so far as to publish a challenge to this effect. The advocates of the art preservativo in the other city offices literally and ly sprang to arms. Cook, of the Argus, was qonstituted captain and preparations for a battle royal began. Yesterday the two teams met at the Athk'tic Field and fought it out beiore au ai miring crowd. Sid Bangs twirled the sphere for the Register people during one inning, Meyers caught ; bat five runs were made off him. Rice Davis suceeeded him. For the opposing team Stoll, of the Hausfreund, pitched for six innings, and was followed by Sage, of the Courier. Bitske caught. Of course the game was remarkable. People must look for remarkable tliings from printers. The errors were not - infrequent - no proofreader could follow theui all. Ko one lost bis teiirper- that is, not very mnch. The score by innings is as follows : Innings-1 234567S9 City - 5 4 12 10 4 0 0-17 Register 21032615 -20 The nines lined up in tbis way : Myers c BHske.
