Der of concerts during the summer of
1910. Eight Of which should be Civ

as one concert.
Pursuant to the above and following
the custom of former years, which
allows the director of the band to ex.
ercise his discretion in naming the
exact dates on which such concerts
shall be performed, | have named the
following dates for all concerts, to

Harrington Of North Adams, pitchers;
Carolan first base; Doherty OF Pitts
field, second base; Genest, shortstop:
Graham OF Jeffersonians. third base:
keefe Of North Adams, right field;
Hickey Of Pittsfield, center field: Ken
nedy OF Pittsheld, left field; Finnegan
of Bennington. utility infIelder; Ro-
barge Of Pittsheld. utility outfelder.
How do you like the team?-Eagle

Pretty fair. The substitution OF
Prindle for Kennedy and Ryan for
Hickey wouldn't hurt the combina.
ton. And then again the fans on
this side OF the Huckleberry line
have an idea that Sullivan Is holding
down bag No about as well as any
tirst sacker In the league. II Is also
difficult to see where Cranker has
anything on either Weiss or Bosk.
With these few exceptions the all
star selection win pass inspection.
