sion pertains to protection for the
Three-I in the event of possible
break. there having come to his ears
from different quarters murmurings
that would lead to a suspicion that
some of the magnates are endeavor-

the Terre Haute players can draw
their pay and win games the next
day.-Terre Haute Tribune.
