And whether or not the contest develops any work of n snappy order, or resolves itself into a burlesque and comedy of errors, there will he a big crowd in the bleachers to watch the combat. While the contest will be a revival of old custom, the game also has been arranged as a benefit of the Navy Re lief Society, Rear-Admiral Wilson, superintendent, having given permis sion to have the hat passed for collec tion. and. in addition to this, ice cold soft drinks will be sold for 10 cents a "pop.” which moans that half the amount will be net profit.
