The average American baseball fan

game in Havana. Havana has several
fTst-class teams. as has been proved this
winter in contests with big league teams
from the States. The game is played ex-
actiy as N the United States. the English
language being used by the umpire and
the players The Havana newspapers
have introduced much American slang
into the Cuban vocabulary through the
medium OF the sporting page That slang
has been carried into politics. and base
ball has become. in fact, the national
game OF Cuba
The great difference Is in the grand

Miss Campbell, to William Parkinson,
Rev. Earnest Brown, officiating. ~
The sbride was attended by Mr..

a quiet one, but ~ often is the case

80 it was upon this occasion, anu much
to the surprise of the bridal party, they
were met with q shower Of rice and
other articles of wedding memories, as
they were leaving the place Of knot

BaraSa Retsliates.

A good slap in the face would not
have raised the ire Of the members OF
the Baraga Hockey team, known as the
Wanderers, any more than did the fol-
lowing paragraph which appeared in
Thursdays issue of the Marquette
Journal:
1.-THE Marquette hockey team accept
ed challenge from the Baraga seven
fortnight ago, but has yet to hear fur
Their from that aggregation relative to
the proposed game. The Marquette
players say it looks to them like case
Of cold feet. They are anxious to cross
sticks with the Baraga bunch and have
confidence in their ability to defeat
them"
Both the managers and members OF
the team inform US that there was lit
tie or no foundation for such q state
ment; that they have repeatedly writ
ten letters to the management Of the
Marquette team, with the view of Sc
curing games, but it was merely a
waste of stamps and time.
If we remember correctly, Marquette
was booked for q game at Baraga on q
recent date. That game was never
played. Marquette did not show up
and now they have the nerve to come
out and make the above claim.
We understand that Marquette was
given tip that the Wanderers were a
husky bunch and that it meant hockey
from the word 60, and It looks az II the
cold feet were in some one else shoes.
To test the nerve and staying quail
ties of the Marquette team, the follow
ing def has been issued.
To the Editor Of The SENTINEL
1--WE would like to contradict the
statement that was made in Thursdays
issue of The Mining Journal concerning
the acceptance Of challenge from the
Marquette hockey team by the Baraga
seven. The Baraga seven has time and
time again written to Marquette
manager, but we can not come to salts
factory terms.
"But now that Marquette players
come out and say to the public that the
Baraga hockey team has cold feet, II
will be up to the Marquette boys te
show Us.
1--WE will wager $50 that our team
can beat the Marquette bunch under
these conditions, namely, that both
teams play amateurs and not ringers,
and that the game be played on . neu'
trail ice field.
s'Now, II the Marquette players wan,
to play, let US hear from them. W.
will deposit our money at once at TIM
ID. s. S. & A. depot.
