these canals carry whole rivers. He

This had been the hitch shines
last week, when the Puritan mani
ager stated firmly all his home

this and agreed to bury the hstch&ts
50 far as city league matters are fs0n-
cerned, and enter the league prpYid-
ing the games between the Paritans

was decided, by lot, that two games
shall be played on the Auditorium
II another on the South nfv0r
