case at the Crescent Park muster
Here the boys caught a pun of wind
which interfered with the stream ana
without doubt caused them 10 throw
several feet short OF what they would
have done had the weather conditions
been different at the time they played.
The companies at a muster have GER

waiting for cars on Watchemoket square
