! that Salisbury Brothers, who at one time
y intended to organize team. feel that they
, cannot afford to back so expensive an out
) fit this year, even with the outside aid ten
r dered. There is, however, quite an "itch-
ing" about town to see Randolph repre-
sented on the diamond some way tn is sea-
son, which may take form later. Love Of
/ the sport has by no means faded in this
! town. Woodstock has joined four
, team league, including Claremont, New
/ port and Lebanon. N. H., which Randolph
was also invited to JOIN. II there Is suffi-
cient interest to warrant, let somebody
) take the lead in forming local associa.
tion to back team.
