landscape.
His earlship is some sport. In short
he has proved himself right along in
the Sir Thomas Upton class, although
he never sails toy yachts in the bath
tub. 1t was pres. himself who chal-

such exhibition games usually are.
Here is something for all Cactus
Ieaguers to gossip over, the present
