A short tlmo ngo I was called tqion by rommltteo of phyilcmns and surgeons of Mlnnenxtls, led by Dr. Hunter of thnt city, with n request that I would uinplro n gnmo of base ball to bo played on tho ensuing day between tho Allopaths nnd IIomiDopaths ot Minneapolis for tho championship of thu northwest, tho proceeds to go to tho llonnuo pnthlo huapltal. I told Dr. Hunter that ntinllwlso provl donco had not seen (It to endow mo with n grent deal of baseball wisdom, but that I was passionately fond of tho game, rocognls lug, as 1 did, that it denoted a woiidorful do greoof progress nnd u gradual loading up from beau bag and two-old-cnt townrds tho earnestness, tho throb nud thrill nud such things in thnt of tho trim nthlota. Dr. Hunter vald I had tho right Idea of tho gnmo, ho thought, nud ho would get Mr. Coiikllu, of tho Grand Opera houso, to do tho active (xirt of tho umpiring, leaving mo mostly to sit under tho shiulo of n largo sun umbrella, outsldo tho oiblt of hot bulls nnd engaged In thought Ho said that n groat many (icoplo had noticed In mo tho faculty of being uhlo to nsHiuuo n Ihlnkful nlr whiio really engaged In something else. Ho said people llko 1 that in anybody, nnd especially in an utiplru. At'JiIlO tho rival clubs nnived In separata nmbuluuccj mid chuso up for "ins." Tho Al lopaths got the bat, Each club had n separate pall out of which they drunk when In need of anything in thnt Una Tlio Hoimrinpnths took theirs nt a third dilution every twenty minutes out of n "graduate," nud tho Allopaths drank out of n largo tin dlpior until rolluvcd. 1 presume tho different players would not cm o to havo mu uso their names hero and to I will substitute fictitious names. Tho Allopaths wuro u uniform consisting of different kinds of clothes, but very becoming Indeed. A fuw bnsoball uniforms scattered through tho two clubs gavo llfo nud pi quancy to thu gauio nud mado It morn illfll cult fur tho uinplro to tell which sido wns in. Dr. Gray wore drab small clothes, n light high lint with wido, black band and lung, nshes of roses mohair duster, hold lu pl.ua by means of a string. Dr. Wltidymclcr woro n bluo flannol sail or's suit, with inllnmcd rovers of samo. Dr. Peudergnst won) a low neck nud short slcovo knit lingerie, with checkered panta loons nud u wnil of till o ut tho throat. Ho woro n tarpaulin hat nnd no ornaments.

Dr. Early woron stroot costutno, with fire man's hat and varioloid necktie. Dr. Pangliorn woro n Priuco Albert coat, knickerbockers nnd foro and nf t steamer hat of small bluo and white plaid, with squirrel skin car tabs tied roguishly over tho top. Ho woro no ornaments ut tho beginning of tho gamo, but at tho third inning appeared in a stellated, comminuted contusion Just cast ot tho parotid gland. Dr. Pcmbcrthy worn n tenuis suit with silk hat and crocheted slIpiKrs. Ho mado n very duo iippoaranco ou tho beautiful green ball ground, but generally ioiislied lioforo he reached second. In batting Dr. Pcmbcrthy almost nlwuys stnick at tho ball nftcr tho catcher had It In his pocket, nud ho always errod In diagnosing tho general direction of tho ball, nnd his treatment of it was vision ury and theoretical lu tho extreme. I had to reprimand him three tlmo for these things publicly. Tho gnmo was called nt 3 o'clock', nud with two largo shingles to keep tally on, 1 told tho boys to sail lu. Dr. Mills, of tho Allopaths, went first to bat Ho was dressed simply in u suit of bluo llanncl, with richly leaded moccasins and high crowned stiff black shiny straw hat. Ho spat ou both hands, then caught up a quart of sand, which ho applied to tho handlo of tho bat, breathed lu nil tbo nlr between himself and tho center fielder, asked for nu abdom inal ball, and Got so near what ho requested that it was somo tlmo beforo I could signal Mr. Ccnklin to go on with tlio gamo. IIo was given his baso ou balls, I bcllovo, nud mado a homo run iu tho ambulance When ho got lu ho tallied and took n bismuth kw dcr that w ould havo settled tbo stomach of a wholo livery stable Dr. Dixon then camo to tho bat. IIo was dressed in a morning costumo of brown chov lot with maroon fnlllo fraucaUa slcovo llnlngi which had crocked his Unci: in places, bt,t did not hurt tho general effect. Ho woro no ornaments aside from a society emblem ot solid gold attached to his watch chain which weighed two or three pounds. Ho nskod for n clavlclo ball, which ho missed by n right sniait, Tho pitcher prescribed another cap sulo for him, which ho struck at Just u few moments beforo it got to him, and with such forcons to whirl him around on tho homo plato with great vlolcnco. Assoonas ho had recovered from his giddiness nnd vertigo -died time again, and this tlmo ho swatted tho lull so h.gb tint it was u glonoai chattel for tho center Holder to get under it, ns it was n long tuno in tho nlr mid camo down as straight nu n shot, but tho rvutcr fielder was Just lilting n new topicr to hu stethoscope, which ho had lost out ou his way to tho grounds, and so muffed it, rs wo would say.
