There would be two lines reaching

be necessary to operate, and since the
object is Understood TO be more IN the

According to The present synopsis
OF things, there is u two reasonable
ways to look at the conduct OF the
boys from the Duke city, and these
are both against them. They either
got cold feet and are cutters straight
out, or they thought they had the
management in a jackpot, and would
get the entire gate receipts for the
game they had no written agreement
for, before the home boys would miss
letting such a magnificent audience
see the game. ON both hands, their
bluff was called. and they lost in the
end. Indignation ran very high, and
more than one attorney instructed the
management not to give them one cent
for return tickets and further eX-
pcnses and thai they would gladly
bring suit for damages if such was
necessary against the Grays. This,
however. was not considered the best
thing to do. as the management
wanted everything to be run as
smoothly as possible and gave them "A
check for something like $3.50, which
was more than their part of the re-
ceipts for the four games, and that
money was just simply lost by the
local management here.
This city has always been very
friendly to the Duke city, and has
beer glad to nave tnem send their
bali team here. treated them with the
highest respect. but they request here
and now hat when another team is
sent for a series of games. if they can
not send a better manager, the re-
quest goes out in advance that they
keep them at nome.
Roswell fans believe in clean meth
DDS and it is very apparent that Dan
Padilla doesn't know anything about
that kind of methods.
