Fol- the first time in his career as a
club owner. Barney Dreyfuss has made
a prediction for his team. He says it
will win the pennant and that 1t is the
strongest team Pittsburgh q had
since 1903. Coming from a man who is
quite conservative on all matters per-
tanning to baseball, knowing the games
uncertainty, this statement is signifi-
cant. Dreyfuss must have something
to base his claim on. Notwithstanding
the fact that Marty O'Toole, his s22, 500
pitcher, is suffering from a lame arm
and has failed to show anything"
writes Ed Grillo.
IF O'Toole does go right he will be
some help in making good his boss's
prediction.

HAD A SMOKER
Chamber of Commerce Enjoys
Successful Session of Social
and Business Nature

In order to insure good crowd at
the regular meeting Of the Chamber
Of Commerce Tuesday evening the
publicity committee took the matter
OF announcing 1t In hand and sent
cards to each OF the members stating
that II would be a smoker. They
succeeded In getting one OF the large.
est and most enthusiastic crowds into
the opera house that ever assembled
for a similar purpose in Ordway.
President Inman disposed Of the
regular routine OF business in short
order and the organization voted to
adjourn sine die. President Inman,
who is also temporary chairman Of the
newly organized chamber, the pur-
poses OF which were announced last
week, then called the proposed in
cOrporated organization together and
R. L. Martin. temporary secretary,
succeeded VIM. Edgar at the desk.
The matter OF electing permanent
officers was discussed and a committee
composed OF Perry Behymer and Judge
dtiICh was dppoiutcu W iuNCsVisoSS
and decide just what course should be
pursued In the matter, their report
to be given at the next meeting. THE
board OF directors we're then called
upon to report progress on the build
ing proposition. They were unable
to make arrangements for the upper
floor OF the Leary Bros building but
had under consideration the purchase
OF the one now occupied by that firm.
This proposition was thoroughly dis.
cussed by the body and many others
brought to light. No vote was taken
but it seemed to be the concensus Of
opinion that new building would
meet the requirements OF the chamber
better than the one proposed. The
board was instructed to investigate
other propositions and, II deemed
best, to secure a longer option on the
building In question. .--. ...
Following adjournment the enter
tainment committee served sand.
wiches and coffee, apples and cigars
and the members OF the new organiza
alton departed for their homes ut a
late hour declaring the meeting to be
one Of ths best ever held and one that
will be productive OF much good.
