paper. Mr.. Bradford is veteran Of

and one that never was known to

whooped her up for Bob for these
many years.

the Columbian Guards and the Bay
field team resulted in a victory for
the Guards by score of Ii to 4. The
game ended in the 9Th inning when the
visitors attempted to put Gordon in
the box contrary to an agreement
arrived at before the game. The
visitors were out generated in every
point from the first inning and their
attempt to break their agreement

battery for the Guards and are fast
becoming the swiftest junior COM

The two men were both black, and

only person who witnessed the trad
