sequence two games will be played this af

When the game was called yesterday by
Umpire Emslie it looked as IL another de-
feat was to be recorded against the Sena-

at the bat and then it rained, and after
waiting thirty minutes for clear-up the
game was declared off.

There will be many people who will be
sorry to see Cartwright go, owing to the
big fellow 5 pleasing personality. If Cart
wright would only put little ginger into
his game he would be worth great deal
more to any club, but then some people
are not built that way. and Ed seems to
be one of them.
