Awful Sight At South End Park Burlesque Baseball Show
A South End Park burlesque game between the Fat Men's Amusement company and a K of C team drew laughs and derision. Baby Bliss, 640 pounds, appeared to bat but did not truly play, replaced by Midget Kimball. Umpire Chayka allegedly took bribes as Bliss claimed Muscatine had no chance. In the seventh, a staged mob scene broke the monotony as heavies armed themselves and Bliss batted.
