Poor Old "Jaxons' fostering Remains
Gathered Up in a Winding sheet.
Oh, for lodge in some vast wilder
ness; some boundless contiguity of
shade where baseball rumors and
vacilating childs-play may never more
be heard. No doornall ever approached
IN deadness the present condition Of
the Jackson baseball outfit; no wagon
wheel was ever more thoroughly tired
than is the public OF this constant fusil-
lade, this up and down, in and out,
battlecock and shuttledoOr that has
been going on for the past few weeks in
baseball circles.
The Patriots report of Wed nesday
nights meeting was correct at the time
il was written-2 a. M, Thursday-but
the dozen ball cranks who threw up
their hats and swore 10 nave team or
perish, have perished. Peace to their
ashes.

Main and Mechanic -sts., four of the
''solid hackers" of the team constitut-

If il would not be wise to let the whole

A I'd so il stands. The men who
Wednesday night, declared that the,
would see Jackson in, still declare tina

composed of only four clubs. "W
will play hall" said Mr.. Allen, ian
don't you forget it."
