WANT TO FILL
SEVERAL DATES
Manager of Saints Has
Sent Challenges.

Manager Maloney of the st. An
thony baseball aggregation has sew
eraI open dates for the fast teams
of this vicinity. The Saints hust-
ling manager has already written to
the teams that he wishes his nine
to meet, but he claims that he as
received no reply to his challenges.
His challenges were to the El-Cids
of Railway, to the Roosevelt aggre-
cation, with which the locals broke
even in a series of two games. An
other game would prove the better
team and Manager Maloney thinks
his team can take the rubber easily.
Tottenville A. c. was also chal-
lenged, but the islanders seem to
regard themselves better than the
locals boys, although scores do not
show things that way. The st.
Anthony boys defeated the Huguenot
team 81, while the latter defeated
the Tottenville A. @. 60. The
Saints defeated the Marions, who
also walloped the Tottenville aggre-
cation.
