McENTEE's CAP.
The. checker players of this place are
now at ease, 50 far as James McEntee.
the champion checker player OF New
York is concerned, for Genial jim" is
I'm New York. and the only memento.
save few unpaid bills that are now
treasured by the Olneyville Checker,
Chess and Whist club. Is n 25 cent cap
that covered the brains OF New York's
greatest checker player and while the
cap today would not bring more than two
cents, from the most liberal second hand
dealer In the land. the club would not
part with II for a whole years rent. and
the cap Is hung in most prominent
place in the cosy clubroom. and II - the
Intentions OF the managers OF the club
10 have the cap properly labelled and
possibly nailed to the wall, so that no
one by chance will take IL for his own
Some OF the players will no doubt say
when they see II Poor Jim and some
will say something else. and every mem
ber would miss a fat turkey dinner to be
fn the clubroom when a member Of the
Providence Fire department named Null
leada comes I'm, for while he does not
care very much about So. but nc would
like to have the 50 that he says McEntee
got out OF him. u
McEntee. Il Is said. has promised TO
come to Olneyville soon again. and pay
his lunch. cigar and ether little bills. and
n he does. he will be welcomed
