The widely heraldH butt!# be*tween the House of David and theKansas City Monarch* last nightdid not occur.Man was willing. but nature was not. and nature, bc.ng the biggest won handily. It waited until abouta thousand eager people got intc the stands an J until the team* wore on the verge of battle andthen it stepped up disdainfully andspit a big gob of ram on the pro-ceedings.The half drenched fan*, many of them having come from great distances. lingered for upward of a half hour hopeful that the sky would clear and that the game might materialize. But as the spectators and promoters lingered on, testing the diamond and watching the sky, nature reared it* head over the wall a second time and seeing that its first foray had not been effective, spit a second gob on the people.That v, as enough. The management hastened to the stand* andannounce 1 the gam* off and thedisappointed fans trekked out of the park.An hour later nature gathered 1n its clouds, put the thunder back in its pocket and went hence. A starry sky watched the team* leave town and saw a Beatrice baseball management leaning disconsolately asrainat tfc* Athletic park gates wondering how it could guess wrong so many times in one season.There was a Lttle salvage in thenight s ruin. The Beatrice management had little invested in the game and so happily escaped heavy dollar loss Then, too. It srttll held a contract with the House of David team for an appearance here with the Beatrice Blue* September 6 the day after the State league season closes The whiskered gentlemen—and they were gentlemen in every sense—will return and northern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska fans have still another chance to see soa ething especially tasty inthe way of baseball.
