FROM BERLIN AND NEAR BY.

Roland Park base ball team played
Berlin two games last week. Scores
to 3 and to a; both in our favor.
The games were hard fought, clean and
sportsmanlike. We have had visiting
teams who could not accept defeat OF
victory in the spirit of either sportsmen
or gentlemen, but the Roland Park men
made an agreeable impression both last
season and this. Citizens and strangers
alike enjoyed the games, and commented
on the courtesy of both teams.

The news of the suicide in Iron City,

ceived with much regret. Little Bob"
left here when boy, but he is remem-

this tragic ending to a life which al
ways held a pathetic interest to his
friends is full of sadness. He was
buried where he died, and the many

the fatal shot, he wrote a note saying,
- have tried to make good and have
failed, so | will end it all. F"
