ter stating that Cairo is winning two
out of three games, ventures the
prophecy that s'the pennant will
again float over the Cairo grounds.
Can you inform me and my brother
enthusiasts when 1t ever did float

any arrangements regarding a pen
nant, and IL so what?

Cairo only has the title, the league
having failed to cough up the SIS
allowed under the constitution. Well. |
the title of Champions is pretty good
at that. Incidentally The Bulletin |
would inquire of an evening contem-

Cairo is well aware that the pen

from the American association pre-
ferring to let him go at the end of
the season under the draft system for
$500 to the st. Louis American league
team, MT. Hedges having already
made the arrangements. With Bar

the staff of that team, Cairo will have
contributed two of its pitchers in

owes much to Rufledge. His sobrlety,
sterling work, steadfastness of pur
pose, reliability. honesty and general
worth has made him very valuable TO
Cairo and furthermore Cairo highly ,
appreciates the intrinsic value of the Z
