AT TIE MAJESTIC.


There are many things on the new
Majestic bill which are good, but some
of them need a little toning down. A
suggestion to the Brownings that they

are clever people. and it is too bad
that they must faint their act with
some of the suggestive utterances
which they made use of yesterday to
draw laughs. 1t seems that people
who are as good as the Brownings
should get along with more acceptable
material. They did very well yester-
day and drew applause for their eff
forts. The Diamond Four, in school

it would prepare a schedule for our

have been exploded and reassert them

kinsella continues to harp on the al

which did not appear in the records,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Sexton explained
how the impression that such a mo-
ton carried got abroad and the south
erners virtually confessed he knew
what he was talking about. The
claims Of Quincy to promises from the
north of Waterloo's berth were like
wise shown to be nothing more thar
expressions of friendliness toward
Quincy and to have been followed by
warnings of trouble in changing the
circuit and yet these same claims are
being treated with the utmost serious

influenced in seeking a place in the
league by statements from the north
end OF the Three-Eye that the league
agreement ended last fall. Funny he
