Words they need to place Ferguson on tho re-
tired list and appoint = new Captain. II want
I'd man to kill = nine T know Of no one I
should be 80 anxious for Is Ferguson. He is the
best nan to run q clup-into the ground that
ever saw He recognizes but one way OF deal

foTca. II p1sser makes an error. you will At
once hesr Ferguson swear until everything looks
Blue. As is wen known, he is bully zhom
