Mr.. and Mrs. August Carlson
and family, who went to Sweden
last winter, surprised their many
friends by returning this week and
will again reside here.
1t was the general opinion Of
every witness of the game on
Wednesday that the umpire got
all that was coming to him and
while the home team put up good
money they should also be given
the same treatment as other clubs
and while the Elk Mills team put
up manly game they did not
need the help of the umpire who
has roasted the boys before, this
summer, and when they objected
to his outrageous decisions which
were always against them, he
threatened them by putting them
out of the game. No protest will
be made, and while the people de-
plore rowdyism and appreciate
good playing they won't stand for
loaded umpires and will hereafter
demand an equal show with other
clubs and the boys have been much
disheartened by the unfair and
seemingly intentional roasts which
have become SO frequent making
the onlookers suspicious.

nolds, of Principle, formerly of
