The Scranton Base Ball club is too coy

league for several days now, but doesn't
seem to know whether it likes the new
suitor we'll enough to take him for her
STEADY company" The suitor is willing
enough and pleads with moving eloquence,
but dear Scranton is a shy young thing
It's all so sudden, you know, and she's all
in flutter, poor dear. SO she wants time
to compose her nerves and think it al
over. Her first "non may not mean
any more than the traditional mega
tive. which. in lovers parlance
is generally understood to mean 'ycs
In that case we don't think il
wise to insist upon an answer too soon. Il
might frighten off the sweet creature and
then what alot Of fun we should miss
Seriously, we need that Scranton club il
our business. We yearn for her. We asl
her to come to our arms where she viii
get such IA base-ballic squeezing as shal
reduce at every squeeze the size Of her
Uranium and the figures of her percentage
Wilkes Barre Record. We come, but moi
to be squeezed.
