Scribbier must live in Boundary
street the way this article sounds.
Don t YOU think so? Now what 5 the
matter with Calhoun street? You
mustn't forget that thisis THE street
Of the city. They tell me that they
don't even eat pies in Calhoun street.
And YOU know that's an evidence Of
aristocracy. I don't know much about
that. Then there are some fine boul-
evards ont in the new part Of the city
and don't let Scribbler forget that.
In fact on any Of these streets you
will fad fnanciers and bankers and
money makers. The fact is this is a
pretty good old town. Well, there is
one thing Boundary street has no
chief justice, if she has three sena-
tors and e1-senators. And then, un-
less [ am mistaken, one Of these gen.
tlemen does not claim Boundary
street, but he lives in Johnstone street
and it might not be well for Scribbler
to claim too much. All Of us farmers
are living at home now and boarding
at the same place and this winter and
next summer the way we will eat
country ham will be a sin.

II is remarkable fact that the

OLD STARS IN A

NEW YORK, March 3.-As Joseph
McGinnity will have entire charge OF
his Newark clubs affairs he will prob
ably replace Harry Wolverton as the
manager.
The result is likely to be a quarrel
that will get into the courts before IA
settlement is reached.
WOlverton, who had big league
career in Boston. Chicago and Wash
ington, won pennants for Williamsport
in 907 and 1908
His success attracted the attention
OF many owners. and this year he had
a choice between offers. The PROPOSE
ton of Newark to give him $4,000 to
manage and play third was SO alluring
that Wolverton closed. He has gone
ahead and signed players and has a
