TREADWELL TOPICS

on the baseball fans at IreadWelL. There have been several good games of ball in the last week. On Friday night the assay office beat the cyanide plant by score of z to 6. There were too many ball players on the team to make an interesting game out of it. Monday night tke carpenters played the ma chine shop and the machine shop boys were the victors by score of $ to 6. On Tuesday night the foundry and Mexican teams pulled off the best scrub game seen here this year, the Mexicans winning by a score of 5 to 4, which showed that they played gilt edge ball, as it lasted for seven innings. The pitching of Mark Smith for the foun- dry team and the batting of Cornwell and baserunning of Osterberg were the features that are to be credited to them, while Jim Daniels, Jack Richards, Monte Benson and Al Christoe played like big leaguers for the Mexicans. There is some talk of a retarn game be- tween them some change Sunday soon, when the foundry hopes to reverse the score.
 Milton Kelly had the misfortune to drop a piece of iron on his foot crush ing the toes, and in consequence has been unable to work for the past week.
 Tom Donaghey has been laid up since Thursday with a badly scalded arm, caused by the steam hose getting away from him while engaged in the clean up of the plates in the 240 mill. It will perhaps be several weeks before he will be able to go to work again.
 The band concert in the Club last Saturday night was decided success and the boys deserve great deal of credit for the first class program they Furnished. The new director, Harry McIvor, is to be congratulated on the improvement the band has made under his leadership. Besides the band there were three reels of moving pictures and an illustrated song by Mir. Pitzman.
 The directors of the Club should take some steps to have the noise that the children make done away with. It is & shame that the people who go there to see show should have to put up with a lot of youngsters who go there with out their parents and who yell and whistle so loud that person can hard ly hear anything that goes on. The men in charge of the Club are not to be blamed, for they have too much to look after aud have not time to sit with them and try to keep them still. There are lots of children who have no right there at all, and orders should be given to the management not to let children in on Saturday nights unless accompa- nied by their parents. Until this is done the same bunch will be on hand and keep on raising rackets every Sat urday night. Let us hope for the bene- fit of those who go to hear the shows and concerts that something be done to abate the nuisance as soon as possible.
