expect to begin the playing of baseball
which as you know is carried on in

courtesy of asking for an extension
has not been accorded. 1t cannot be
expected that the owner of the land
will hold on to the place indefinitely
for the wheelmen. The lake can be
rented at a moments notice, and the
land round about turned to some prof

should be held and something done
The time is ripe for action, and the
