They could do the best they could and it would make good sport for the audience. It was stated by some who are interested in the project. that if such a game could be gotten up, that s2oo could be clear ed for the city benefit fund for the de- serving people of the city. If the game is put on, 1t ought to be held as early as next week, Manager McLay will give the use of thu rink for such a game, it is understood
