II is more than probable that at the end
OF the Sunday school base ball season of
1906 the leaders VIII not be the same as
last year. While all of the teams are en-
deavoring to keep their star players in their
old positions. still it seems more than prob
able that some of them will be sadly lack

teams OF Mount Pleasant Congregational
Sunday school, as well as these of Calvary
Methodist and Fourth Presbyterian, Will
present nearly the same teams that repre-
scented the schools upon the diamond last
season. The champion team of the Gunton
Temple Sunday school will no DOUBT lose
many OF the star players who helped TO
win the championship last season. 1t is re-
1orted that the majority of the players will
