his own assertions, seem "puerie' or
"school boy style'' or "pleading the baby
act" have bnt few words. His own
language reminds us Of the old adage,
"once man and twice a child" He pre-
pares himself for defeat by giving an ex-
cuse in advance and saying, lit will be a
victory OF men over boys" 1t was a terri
BILE crime, in his sight. for an Edinburg
boy to question the decisions of
Woodstock umpire, and yet this very
manly club called "The Kids" got their
backs up, an sulked and broke up the
game because they did not like the de-
clsions of the umpire. We promised you
Ito flax" them, but even the influence OF
their old chief, Mr.. Letcher Burner, could
not keep them on the field long enough 10
receive the taxing we had in store for
them But really, Mr.. Spectator, don't

college students and young men that
escort ladies through the streets, is rather
ancient to be called "Kids," and to cry
'your men beat our boysP
Don't you think another club "hurt
their reputation as ball-players," and
that club nearer home should heed your
overland advicei -
