Reed Team Pleased at
Victory Over CroWleys

The members of the Reed team are
pleased today with their showing in the
game against the Crowleys yesterday,
when the latter team was defeated in
eleven innings by the score of to 2.
The two teams were picked from among
the old-timers of the northwest section,
and both played good ball. The pitch
ing of Reed, who allowed but five hits
and struck out eight men. was the fea-
ture of the game. The double play
executed by Carley and Carey in the
seventh inning brought the crowd to
its feet. Mercer pitched well for the
CTowleys. but poor support caused his
defeat.

MANY Trees Removed.
The total number OF removals was
2,236, most being curb trees. Where the

at least LEG had been killed by gas, while
water killed one and salt another. But
most OF the removals were on account
of decay, SIG being taken away for that
cause, while street repairs, construc-
lion of buildings, sidewalks, and vaults
made 1t necessary to remove others.
The superintendent suggests that more
trees should be saved by change In
