that with little practice Sw edesboro will
have team that will be hard to beat

he will have the best of them guessing
Mr.. Mulholland deserves great credit for
his impartial decisions He is a gentle
man, and as the visiting club declared did
about the tairest umpiring that has eyer
been performed in this place. Mr. Null
holland will be here for every game and we
can assure all who wish to attend the
games that they will not be troubled by
witnessing dispute instead of a game of
ball
Excellent order was preserved on the
grounds and the club deserves more atten-
| ton inside and less from the sidewalk.
Financially the managers did better
than they expected, coming out about even
with the expenses of the day.
The visiting club showed themselves to
