Ing hand In hand With the secretary OF
the Giants. and there was . general
pull to heip the Gianss out Of their
dilemma.
On account OF the temporary resi-
dence OF the Giants at the Hilltop. the
wonderful showing mad by the High
landers 80 far against the Champion
Athletics. and tho prospect OF dig
crowds, a contract has been lot for the
erection OF an additional stretch OF
