THEIR OLDER SISTERS,

The newest fall styles show great
beauty and cheapness. often wonder
how such pretty goods and such service

some effect upon new pitchers, as Pitcher
Mark Baldwin said it broke him all up when
he first joined the Association, but it can't
have much effect upon veteran pitchers, and
it is very unpleasant thing in the game

base runners much; in fact, it is calculated
to confuse them as far as coaching is con-
cerned, and at times every man on the bench
is yelling at the top of his lungs"
