I the donkeys on a tour of this part of the country and huge crowds have greeted every appearance of 'the donkeys to date. A series of games was played at Fort Wayne a few weeks ago and fans there went for the new tad 'tn a big way. Donkey baseball does not call i for a great deal of skill on the ■ part of the players as far as basei ball is concerned. Mose of the skill is In ;be handling of the don[keys. Sometimes as many as two runs are made in an evening of [ play —for donkeys don't always, go In the right directions. For Monday night, the Decatur Floral and General Electric teams will ride the donkeys. Tuesday ' night, the City Confectionery and 1 Cloverleaf Creamery teams will try to make the grade. As a preliminary softball game, starting at 7 o'clock Monday night, i tlie Cloverleaf team and the Schaf ■er Hardware will play. The first ■ game Tuesday night will be belt ween the Moose and Decatur Floral company teams. j Mr. Miller will provide a canvas i which will extend around at least ! the greater part of the playing i field. Admission prices for the ilonkey games will be 25 cents for 1 adults and 15 cents for children. ; Decatur’s share of the proceeds will be used to defray expenses of [the softball association and to es- ; tablisli a fund to start league play [again next summer. !
