Again has the rising sun of ambitious
effort cast its rays into the hand-baIl courts.
Some time ago John Condor conceived the
idea of giving gold medals to the best
players who grace his, the Union Hand-ball
Court. and it was success-Such n success,
indeed. that he has conceived even a greater
undertaking, which he has now under con-
sideration. It is no less an undertaking
than giving a hand-ball entertainment at
the Pavilion, open to any and all players,
to take place some time during the next SIX
weeks. The negotiations so far extend to
business operation or undertaking with
some one who has consented to pay the
rental for the privilege Of conducting a re-
freshment stand and the pools.
John is losing his usual cognomen, for the
bows are calling him "Oid Red Shirt ." but
that is nothing, as his side-partner, Jack
McDermott, is known as The HoOdoO
and his manager as the "MauwhO-w
not-and-is." The latter gained his sobri-
ouet through the fact that at one time he
swamped himself in airy schemes that never
materialiled.
Yesterday the games in the Union Hand
ball Court commenced with single-handed
contest between "Red-Shirt" Condor and
Sachem Pendergast As usual. Chief Red
Shirt lost the first and third, and won the
second game. Score: to u, Is to II and L
