Year. Fellowship Club in Charge

The citizens OF Paw Paw are assured
of a first class lecture course the coming
year.

ship club at its meeting last Wednesday
evening rescinded it's previous action
and voted to put on course again the
coming year.

to show up weak in comparison TO that

addition to being a born ball player.
The loss of LIE Brand was the hardest
blow the Cactus league has had to take
this year for he was head and shoulders
above any catcher in the league. He
was what McGraw calls a ball player
both ways from his shoulders, mean
ing that he plays ball with his noodle.
Coming from a man who has worked
behind catchers and with them until he
knows a catcher when he sees one,
