Thursdny night’s offering will combine a regular five-inning d-ball game and a four-iDning donkey kittenball eon-te.-d.The latter game is not the same as that was played here by the House of David. It combines more nearly the regular d-ball game as played here with the attractive teatures of the so-called donkey baseball.‘‘The Strawberry Roan,** moat famous of the little pack burros to appear here, has a changeable mind. Sometimes he goes to first base and again he may stop halfway there and lay down.Packers of the burros have prom i.-ed a laugh for every minute of the time the game Is in action.Every player except the pitcher and catcher will be mounted. The batter must mount as soon as he has hit the ball. The base will be an eight-foot circle into which he must ride, pull or push his burro to be safe.There are other famous burrows in the troupe that will appear here. •‘Man of War” is one, another Is “Stepin Fetch! t.'* and a third is “Steamboat.” ' Tony” and “Man of War” are the speed demous of the clan.f]
