Disgustcd with his surroundings, he quit the profession.

 The New York club offers $10,000 fol any two good players in the league. but th' conditions are such that no club dares risl the acceptance of the rich offer while thu playing season lasts. Next fall. however there will, without doubt, be some mor' | valuable additions made to the Giants.
