OF the Gotham tribe is emphatic in his
declaration that his team must land Sat
urday's game. Said he: Washington
should not have been represented in this
series anyway. as the Capital City boys
not only are older larger, and more sea-
soned than either ST. Nicholas or ST. Ig-
natius. but the majority OF the players on
the team have seen professional service,
and 70 pit them against the mines repre-
senting the other two cities Is an injus-
tice. and this fact is realized by all who
have seen the teams play. New York
played professional battery in its game
with the Cornell team in New York. but
we played our regular lineup against
Philadelphia. and our only reason In get

apparent from the result Saturday that
the Paperhangers did not let themselves
out until they me; us in New York. and

joke. Let them bring down anybody
they please" was Mr., Cornells reply,

Capital City League and defeated the
four clubs in Section A. and then defeat

win. and II possible. my team will take
the two remaining games in the Inter

baseball. I have played fair from start

booted all the year. first IN the Capital

there are few soreheads who are try

New York and Philadelphia are not
stronger than they are, but as I am not
responsible for their weakness, I don't
see why I should be blamed, We will go

II is hard 10 see how New York cal

Gotham boys should make things merry
