HUNDREDS ENJOY TREATcBast evening as the ojkener of the almost all night carnival of kitten-hall at Athletic park, the business and professional men of the city staged some real fun for the crowd that packed the park and greeted with shouts the antics of the players.From the playing standpoint, the “Bloomer Girls'* seemed to have the edge ;n playing as the 7 to 3 score would indicate, John Hatt, the chief j of the “girls having secured some good stickers and not being so bad himself. The costumes of the “girls attracted much attention, they having an especial Swede model at third oase. as well as entrancing flappers at .he infield posts.The “House of David/* who played the Bloomers, showed a wide variation of whiskers from the patriacha! flowing beard to the dashing goatee showed and modeled by Fred Rea. The bearded boys were able to get through the game without accident although there were several close calls from losing thir kirsuate adornments as they sped after the ball or dashed from base to base. Judge Graves, who started playing bail in 1S76 with the Rock Bluffs Giants was presented with a special hat for use in the game and the Judge slap* ped the delivery of the charming lady hurler but was tossed out at first base. E. Ptak of the Bloomers secured a home run as a feature of the game.The kitten ball teams were overshadowed by the two umpires. Cook and Bennett, who as the representatives of the two teams entertained the crowd and brought many laughs. Bennett appeared as a lady umpire and his ample figure was draped with a black tent, cut bias and with picture hat to match. The lady umpire also showed that she knew all about the combination that she was garbed in. The male umpire made a fine edition of Weber Fields, or rather the Weber end of the team. Both umpires, as is the general rule of the job, failed to satisfy the teams, but ignored all protests.
