crowd witnessed the defeat of the
First National Block by the Brink
man Block, in a game of ball Thurs
day afternoon. The score was only
81 to 10. The Nationals partisans
were out in full force, armed with
megaphones, bugles etc, to assist in
routing the enemy, but the enemy re-

went down to defeat with a smile.

the faith, and says there is no such
thing as pain. Frank Kramer was
