haitian has taken a sudden brace during
the past few weeks, and is now within
an arms reach Of the Farmers. Both
Managers Evans. of Agriculture, and
Kraft. Of Manhattan, have been bracing
up their respective aggregntions for this
opportunity and It is most likely that
"Shag' Rawlings and Jimmie Fegan will
constitute the Manhattan battery. while
the Farmers will use Ferguson and Ven
