Clinton Baptists. Clinton, May 29.?The Baptists of this place are bending all their energies l<? the gathering of funds for the erec tion of ;i new church building. They have given several entertainments re cently two this week. The first of these was a burlesque base hall game between fourteen of the fattest men in town and eleven of tho leanest. The Fats wore green uniforms and the Leans yellow. The umpire was one of the graded school fans,Master Clarence Galloway. The way this twelve-year old midget rendered his decisions was irresistibly comic to the spectators, be cause; it was tho reverse to the umpire, li was the original plan to play a seven inning game, but at the end of that time che Pats were unwilling to stop because they were behind. The scon; stood 12 to 14. The Leans, over-eonfi dent, agreed to play nine innings, al though the twilight was pressing on. They regretted their rashness,however, lor the fata piled up four runs, making tho final score 1(5 to br>. As may be supposed, the game abounded in sensa tional plays. There was actually one double play. No record was kept by the official scorer of errors. Several portly gentlemen pounded out what would normally have been home runs, butthobest any of them did was to reach third. All five of their substitutes were called into the game early. It was a warm afternoon and a warm game. The financial returns wore very good. On Wednesday evening tho Baptists presented "The Singin Skule," a broad farce, on (he order of the "Okie Tyme District Skule" and "The Old Maid's Convention," both of which have been presented here. The entertainment was given in ('opeland's Hall and every seat WOS taken. The clear profits from both entertainmenls was a little over one hundred dollars. SI.72.L77 Paid By City.
