ball candidates at the University
trained iii the gym. They will be
given theoretical instruction in the
finer points of the game and on the
rules, and will play indoor base ball.
This will put them in fine shape for
the opening OF outdoor practice
which is to begin just as soon MS the
weather conditions will allow.

One of these will open for business
on the evening of Saturday, January
23d, in the office of Snee, Warman &
Gordon, on Chancery Row.

may have something to do with the
prices which are being paid as they
certainly sell enough booze in some
of the Uniontown hotels to make it
profitable.
