AUSTINBURG.


Eds Tele:- There was a mach game of
ball at this place on Monday last between
the Geneva boys and our home club, it was
quite game although there was not as
many errors as we might expect IN game
! resulting in so many tal!leS. The Geneva
! boys are all good players and they are
gentlemen in every sense, not like any
other cub that ever came here from Geneva
for IN all of the game We did not hear one
oath from player. Score % to 10 in
favor Of Austinburg some very heavy bat
ting on both sides but it was most too one
sided to be interesting.

We think he is "A gentleman and as far as
the cabbage Is concerned we Judge from
the portlineSs Of cur Orwell friend that
sour-krout and lager had been his stand by.
If he had attempted to look up what the
signiture meant he would have been at
something of a loss to tell whether it was
good latin or not A weakness for "fat"
beef may have something to do with obtuse
irreverenre for latin scholarship.
