with Andy DAILY of Bangor at Lowell,
Wednesday night. Gardiner is matched
with George Bolles Memorial day. It's
downright ignorance for a would-be sport

athlete. If the rule was followed there
would be nothing but ringers in the col
umns of a morning paper, not The Spy.

the Crews wonderfully. incidentally the
same can be said of every other team
playing ball.
