The meeting of the Father Mathew

engagement.

city will be a spectator at the annual

a Syracuse girl.
1t is said that Fred Parent, the
young shortstop, who jumped to the

Manager Dooley of Montreal re-
Gently arrived in the Canadian city and
made a red hot speech in favor of that
city retaining it's Eastern League fran
chise. Mr.. Dooley says that because
of its out-of-the-way location, Montreal
will have little chance of returning to
the league If it drops out. He points
out that with Syracuse the case is diff
ferent, as that club is in the circuit and
can keep out of baseball until there is
a popular demand for the sport.

needed at q. Of p. to again put the red
