The lean traveling men of the U C T claim they can play better base ball and more of it than the fat traveling men as they met in their annual game at the park. Fred A Ruplin captain of the fat Men alleges the traveling men had the Scorekeeper fixed and the umpire swayed scores. Umpire Hanson defended decisions with force.
