by the clubs individually, which will surely happen
before the opening of the League season.

Powell and Fulmer arrived at Capital Park a few
minutes before the game OF Friday and caused quite
hurrah among the audience and PLAYERS The good
favored men, as they banged the phenomenon Porter
all over the field and won the first creditaole victory
of the year. Powell and Fulmer are the best two all
