Pleasantville A. A.

The Pleasantville A. A. foot ball team
went into practice last week, and with
out a doubt will make q good team.
The main trouble is to get the players
out to practice. But those who do come
take great interest in the game. The
star players are Haines, Carton and
Hackett behind The line. Haines makes
a good lett half back. and always makes
gain and bucks like an old veteran,
while Carton at right half back, plays
his position to perfection, and is good
runner and interferes well. Hackett at
full back is in all the hardest plays, and
will, without a doubt, make the best
player. FantOn at quarter back will be
all right W hen he learns the game. The
rest of the players haven't had much of q
chance to see what they can do, but they
are all good fellows.
The Junior team scored on them once
Saturday, but the players got tangled
up and were slow in starting.
If the boys who intend to play the
game will come out to practice, it will be
to their advantage. As some one said
anything started in Pieasantville only
lasted two weeks, but the boys should
get together and prove this untrue.
There is to be game Saturday and
all the players are requested to be on the
ground at 2 O'Clock to practice.

Rev Charles T DurbOrOw OF the First
Methodist Episcopal church OF this city,
asking that his name be stricken from

zens I have concluded to stay on the
board Of police commissioners during

roll of members do this because I
believe it is the best for yourself as
pastor and myself as a member Of your

The reason for the letter dates back
several weeks. About that time the
quarterly conference of the church in
set of resolutions called public atten-
ton to the failure of Commissioners
Stewart and Lyon, both members Of the
church, to enforce the prohibitOry Ii
quOr law. A few days later Mr.. Stew
