Sidney Alpha and his bunch Of
ball tossers are coming down from
Lafayette tomorrow Sunday to
again try conclusions with Mana
ger Boyle's stars; this time with a
team greatly strengthened and
determined to exert every effort
within their power to even up for
their two defeats at the hands Of
the locals so far this season.
1t is hardly probable, however,
that our boys will suffer defeat
OH the morrow, unless something
unforeseen occurs to weaken the
team but this is not at all likely.
The boys have been putting in
some good practice during the
past week and are improving
right along. Especially go are
most of them improving in batting,
and this IS what counts in a clcse
game.
This, the third game of the
season between our boys and
Lafayette, takes place on the
local diamond tomorrow afternoon

Letter to F. G. BLUMENTHAL
New Iberia, La.
Dear Sir: The Trustees of Fair
Ground, Cobleskill, N Y, were
glad 10 pay Is cents gallon more
for Devoe; and no wonder. Two
other paint agents said it would
take $50 gallons of their paint to
cover the buildings.
Our agent put it at 1875 or less.
1t took 115.
We saved them 35 gallons of
paint and painting (worth "a to $5
gallon, as the painting costs two
or three times as much as the
paint less Is cents gallon on l15
gallons. Say $40.
That's how to count the cost of
paint. The cost of putting it on
is 50 or 50 a gallon. You see
what that means. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly
