Mission, Texas, Nov 80, 1909
Thanksgiving was observed at Mis-
sion in regal style All the stores
closed at noon, and in the afternoon
the AissiOnites witnessed a very in
teresting game of ball between the
McAllen Grey Wolves" and the
Mission Coyotes. The Mission
ties were very much surprised to
see the game end in favor of Nc
Allen, but that is easily accounted
for, as the Coyotes ate their Thanks
giving dinner before the game, and
the result was two of the best men
were laid up in bed, while the rest
were unusually slow in moving
about The Coyotes are it, but this
was one time when the wolves were
litter, but another game will be
pulled off soon. and,-nuff said.
