bats, worth all the way from S1.25 to

One might as well take away the nee

to take the bats away from some ball
players.
The club house was only completed
a few days ago on the outside. Fifteen
lockers were built on the inside, but
all Of then were not yet supplied with
locks. The carpenters were at work
there yesterday and expected to finish
by tonight.

fact that of the five commissioners
one was from Porto Rico and none
from the south, described the Porto

half shell. and wondered IL the gentle
man from Porto Rico could define the
relations between that. island and the
