NOTES.
The mud did it, say the Port
landers.
The Farmers and Mechanics are
managed by NJ. Samuel, who is also
manager of the store the club If
named after.
The f. and NJ. boys will be well
received by a large crowd of specta
tors whenever they play at Salem in
the future.
The game was nearly tied or losl
by Riley's wild throw to first.
Best game Of the season excepl
one.
Salem boys can play Dall, II the.
can't make it pay.
Salem's new player and shortstop
Lavan, is an acquisition.
Their name was mud.
Salem's mascot-Freddie Fontain'
was as pretty as a bunch of flow
ers.
