Bill" Carney is lining up his Hibernian
Athletic association teams, To make
selections for the field and track stars
who will be pitted against all Corners,

boys have kept themselves i'm trim
during the winter, by various games
i'm the Hbernlan hall, still as these
were mainly handball. baseball, wrest-
ling and boxing, they have to do lot
of work of an entirely different nature
to fix themselves for the field day
games. Mr.. Carney has his mind on
the fact that the Y. M. G. A. boys OF
Calumet, who last year carried off the
honors, and the silver loving cups, have
been working hard all winter and mean

year their performance of last. The
entries of last field day were large but
this year the idications so far point tc
great big increase in the number

inclined young men are going to en-
deavor to prove themselves eligible
for entry; this latter should not be diff
