newton was in progress. The news OF At

he heard the news. Others by the dozen
came from ali parts Of North Texas.
In every quarter nothing but Cranes
Withdrawal was discussed. Here Colonel
Wynne caucused with a number OF his
friends; there colonel Foster told Il group
why Sayers Is certain to win. II was
busy throng. full OF hustle, expectation and
anxiety. Colonel Wynno's friends pleaded
with Chairman Blake. Manager Ramsey
and others TO help their champion.
