thrown away their old title Of HAS
Beens," and have adopted the title Of
"Still Are" Teddy Nelson umpired
this game and gave universal satisfac-
ton. The married men showed that
they had been doing some practicing
the past week or SO, and made some
very professional plays. The single
men also did some very good work
and about the only reason we can see
for their loosing the game, was that
"Doc" Tenant played with the Ben
edicts this time.
