more time to his team. the Blooming

Without manager they have been at
the bottom since the league began.
The Reservoirs seem to have the
BIoomingdales' goat. Soaking il in to
the club team twice in succession was
too much for the rooters on both teams,
and a fight was narrowly averted the
last time the two factions came to-

That fifty-nine minute game which
the Congressionals and Eckingtons
pulled of the other day was a good
one The score was 6 to 0. and but FIVE
hits were made in the game. Good

this league.

stories as to how he acquired his cOgno-

you might call dark yet. and when l was

called IL tow My mother had a fondness
for arranging it in long. flowing ringlets,
after the style of little Lord Fauncleroy.
I didn't like it. but my mother and my
boy piaymates did. The boys used to put

When I was about eight years old
an uncle who had been a real boy and
realized what I was suffering. took ne

hair cut as close as clippers could do it.
