SCRIBES TO FACE JESTERS

World-Famous Publications Clash in Annual Baseball Game at 3 o'Clock on Soldiers Field--Odds Are Even

This afternoon at three o'clock, regardless of the wetness or dryness of the weather and other conditions then prevailing, the CRIMSON'S prolific pen-pushers and Lampy's jesting jokers will meet in their annual baseball gambol on Soldiers Field. In spite of the fact that the CRIMSON'S ball club is known far and wide as a world-beating aggregation, the Ibis and his followers have so falsified reports of their prowess that the betting odds are even. This will only be the second defeat which the CRIMSON will have handed to Lampy this year, since the cowardly comic was afraid to meet us on the ice during the winter.

In a useless attempt to conceal their real weakness, the editors of the humorous sheet have sent us the following lineup: c., Coe; p., Behn; 1b.; Moorehead; 2b., Flint; 3b., Newcomb; s.s., Alger; 1.f., Choate; c.f., Allen; r.f., Frazer.

The CRIMSON'S line-up is as follows: c., Cutter; p., Cameron. No other fielders will be necessary, as 27 strikeouts will be sufficient to settle Lampy's fate. Hamilton and Hamblett, the home run heroes, will be relied upon for most of the CRIMSON'S tallies.
