, equal number of games, and the clu

. prize offered by the Traction compan,
of Carbondale. No players were to
/, | allowed to play outside of their own tow
with any other clubs in the league. Q
these conditions /, as manager of II
Hickories, withdrew because a few of Il
= latter's players from out of town hs
= played these last ten years with ther
l After that there was not club in II
= league that did not break the rule
= which everybody knew but the opinic
of the people was that all of them we
