The members of the Rising Sun
Ibase ball club wish US to state for
1.-THE information of their many
friends, who are anxious for them to
have return game with the Elkton
club on the home grounds, that
Manager Bratton refuses to bring
his club to Rising Sun, claiming that

what they deem lack of courtesy on
Manager Bratton's part. as they ex-
pected a return game.
