all expectations with their work.
They are learning many points from the
older players and are willing and en-
thusiastic pupils.

members, as Mr.. House was an efficient
officer 1t was feared that a good man
for the place could not be secured but the
corps is large and fortunately for the team
a good man has stepped to the front and has
been elected manager. This new official
is Mr.. j. S. Robinson, who has the conf

worker and will no doubt prove worthy
successor to Mr.. House and Will bring sue
