/ cester baseball club left yesterday aft

some of his idle winter time in Cleve-
land. The husky youngster will go some
time next week.
john and Arthur Nettlebladt will
wrestle off the draw, which was de-
clared at the Jenkins Lundin match
last Thursday, at Hjalmar Lundin's
wrestling establishment, 207 Main
Street tomorrow night. Between the
bouts a couple of likely youngsters will
put on the mits. Only friends of the

John Anderson. who covered the
initial sack for Milwaukee last season,
has entered into a partnership with
Hjalmar Lundin and will conduct a

of Lundin's at POI Main Street.
The friends Of c. S. Titus and
Frank B. Greer, the Boston sculler,
have been after them to go to England
next summer and try for the Diamond
Skulls in the Henley regatta.
Those gentle little knocks which
Little Lord Fauntleroy- Rob Roy deals
out with an unsparing hand must be
choice reading for the Boston sports.
And they do say that Robbie has
done a lot for the wrestling game in
Boston-to put 1t to the bad.
The footballists are wondering If

for the Philadelphians.
Billy Lush, the outfielder secured
by Boston National League from
Rochester has purchased the franchise
for Wallingford, Ct, in the Connecti-

The famous steed was driven by his

The st. Johns ParochiaI High
School football eleven plays the Aver
High School eleven Saturday, at Aver.
"A football organization known as
the "Clearys" in the vicinity of Green
Street, produces some strong football
talent.
The Casino alleys are being smooth
ed off and put in repair for several
match games that will be rolled at the
Mechanics Street alleys this winter.
One Of the attractions on the street
is the matches rolled at Monsey's Pearl
Street alleys in the Mercantile League.
1t is the Mecca for all the clerks and
downtown sports every night. Tomor-
row night teams Nos. and clash at
the alleys.
The Sherwood League still con-
