which threatens to become a growl
of dissension and finally a howl OF
protest. And you, Dreadnaughts,
appear to be the cause of the fault
finding. The writer win try 10
give the Dreadnsughts an idea of
the different causes of this epidemic
of dissatisfaction on the part of the
fans ard the populace generally.
1t seems that the way the team
is being run is the main point of
attack. They say that Cleary
would look better on the railroad
with a shovel in his right hand, a
pick in his left, while he mopped
Athe sweat from his brow with a red
bandana held in his other hand.
They say that nature intended
Jack for something like this, rather
than the manager of baseball
team. And they say of Callahan
poor old Tim-that, we'll we haven't
: the heart TO say it as they say it.,
but oh, TIM Then DeWolf they
say that McGraw kicked him off
his New York Giants and that
Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs
threw bat at him during game
three years ago, while of Kelly,
they intimate that he'd ought to
be ashamed of himself for appear
ing at ball game with the knees
of his pants way below his ankles.
Jones, they say, gets mad and calls
Hades by its other name, and is
forever looking for an opportunity
to cover himself with glory other
than Old Glory, and that Call

bon counter in big department
store, while Foss swings at the ball
like farmer making hay while the
sun shines and that he'd ought to
take course in pharmacy for this
reason.- Kinnear, so rumor goes.

turned to the pitcher, misses it,
erunts and wishes he had never
left Sweden; and Bill Saunders,
we'll, Bill, we hate to say it, but it's
always been a source of wcnder-
ment in this town where you ever
got the idea you could play ball.
Harris fantastic preliminary wind
ups and weird slants have ruined
the eyes of most of us and we want
it stopped, and as to you, Al Bruce,
you never had chance and we
can't understand why, nor can any
one else.
The above constitutes the sIb-
stance of the remarks of the dis
gruntled land well they might beg
~populace.
{ The writer's private opinion as
to the cause OF this feeling on the
part of the Ferryites, is that the
Dreadnaughts haven't been play
ing enough games and that they
haven't practiced as they should
and haven't taken enough heart in
ther work in the past. But a few
evenings ago meeting was called
and it resulted in the erstwhile
captain of the Dreadnaughts being
dethroned and Kelly raised to that
exalted position. Now, for Bon
ner's sake, Kelly, do your duty.
On last Sunday the Dreadnaughts
met the Plantations Of Spokane.
The game was good, but the atten-
dance so small that it's a wonder
any game was played. The game
was called at the end of the first OF

On Tuesday, a team representing
Bonners Ferry, but which was only

Tomorrow the home team meet
