not cause such a sensation as might

was that the name of the man VINO

The leader in this revolutionary move
ment is William Abbott Whitman, who has
been connected with base ball for more
than twenty years. He Is the owner OF
the Reading ball park, and for some
years was president of the Pennsylvani
State League. Politics. as well as base
ball is also hobby Of the organizer
and several years ago he was the demo
cratic candidate for lieutenant governor
of Pennsylvania.
