TO bring snug sum away from the island.
Mr.. HeWett did not go with the team, pre-
1erring to achieve honor here by umplrlng the
game to be played tomorrow between the po-
hcemen and the reporters. He was. at last ac

best in left field with sore thumb. while

The reporters will be uniformed in gray and
white, and will be distinguished from their OPP
pOnents by the large size Of their heads. which
Will form the predominant feature of their

add to the interest of the occasion. Judging
from the number of tickets sold the crowd in
