May stick, After All.

1t now appears that Joliet may take
a brace after all, the pride of the city
having been aroused as a result of
the severe jolt it received when the
announcement of the action of the di-
rectors of the team in deciding to for
felt the franchise became known. 1t
is now announced that another try is
desired after the team returns home
from its present trip on the road, and
if the midsummer patronage turns
out to be sufficient to make the team
pay its own way the franchise will be
retained. While the team is away the
time will be spent by the directors in
a canvass for funds to offset the loss
already sustained, the success of
which also will have weight in deter
mining the future ownership of the
club. 1t remains to be seen whether
the people of Joliet will give the team
the requisite backing.

containing grease, simply furnish food
