ment to S. III. S. in two ways-the way il

the game. The boys went to Woodstock
expecting to meet high school team and tt
be treated in a gentlemanly manner, bu
instead met team made up of expires:
/ agents, clerks, and few high school players
and the treatment that they received would
not be creditable to even a halt-civilized com
munity, much less to such beautiful ant
lively town as Woodstock. Not satisfied

pointed in this as the "cat had escaped" ant
| their would-be victims had gone another
way. S. II. s. went there with strictly high
| school team but on arriving were told by
w. H. SIS manager they would meet a town
team. Consequently they played the strong
est team they could make. W. H. SIS man
ager failed to show his certificate under
which they were to play. The score stood
10 to in favor of w. H. s. W. E. P.
