In appreciation of the meritorious
conduct as good sportsmen and ac
knowledgement of superior baseball
ability a few of the more ardent fol
lowers of the City baseball club gave
a hearty six-course dinner last night
to the members of that team. The
dinner was served in the Bacchus
bantjuet room on the mez floor of
Reilly's cafe and Mike and his cour
teous assistants fairly outdid them
selves in the matter of cuisine and
service.
After the coffee noir some ordi
nary and some extra ordinary stories
and experiences were told, several
songs were attempted, but none fin
ished. The party was congenial and
every one added to the entertainment
which started by Captain Nicholls
saying to the first base man, "Bow
ery, tell us a story,” and Powery’s
story started like this:
"This happened several years ago
in my little home town in one of the
central states and a party of 17 were
seated around the dinner table: the
captain sat next to me and l sat next
to the pitcher: Said I to the pitcher,
‘Brownie, tell us a story,’ and
Brownie’s story started like this:
‘Once upon a time in McCarthy,’ ”
and so on to Henning, who sang Hei
delberg; Tiffany got a home run with
the bases full; Bush saved the day
by a phenomenal catch in left field,
Linn had 17 strikeouts and Howard’s
record was enviable; and Admiral
Nourse told why he wasn’t wearing a
Chicago uniform. Games were won
and lost, batting averages boosted,
stolen base records beaten and even
Tracy renewed his youth and won a
game in the last half of the ninth;
Normile took them back to ancient
times when you could call for a high
or low ball: Silent Polley told of the
time he stole home, the ball, and
the game; Koch captained a team
that won the Panama pennant; Alibi
Campbell, full of that "if” stuff, told
why Miles City wouldn’t let him play
the second game, and Larson sang.
The dinner table was appropriately !
decorated with wild flowers and a
large cake graced the center. This
cake, baked by Mr Reilly’s pastry;
cook, was a large three-layer, white
frosted cake with a miniature anchor
moulded on top, in respect to the
Anchorage baseball team.
The party was enjoyed by every
one present and is the first of such
affairs contemplated for the interest
and pleasure of the city team.
