Show Water Baseball. The boys of Georgetown have Invented In-vented a kind of water baseball, which will appeal to the lovers of the sport during hot spells of the summer. On a large raft anchored above the Aqueduct Aque-duct bridge they have laid off a diamond, dia-mond, and on this they gather in their bathing suits, playing ball, every now and then plunging into the cool river, and snapping their fingers at the hot-weather hot-weather man. The ball is of rubber, large and light, and cannot be batted very far. But when there Is a passed ball, or some amateur Wagnor knocks a long fly into deep center, the fielder in that territory has to plunge overboard and field It like a retriever deg in a . duck hunt. Needless to say, home runs are very frequent in that game. |
