luck at bass fishing. Frank Mundey

Now that the baseball season is
nearing an end and in all probability
only few more games will be played
here, the management informs US that
unless better financial support is with
coming it will be almost impossible to
secure any games except with small
teams in this immediate vicinity. At

at the next game.
