the benefit OF Capitol Square; residents
Of South Third Street and vicinity have
a breathing spot at CANDLES Hill:

no comfort OF this nature for that

of that district are entitled to a park,

The people of Richmond who have
given such loyal and substantial sup
port to the local baseball club are
complaining, not without reason, when
they deal with the poor record Of this
aggregation. Clearly there is some
thing radically wrong with the PLAYERS
