We are glad indeed to note the
side walk improvement on East
Front street. This should have
been done a long time ago as this
walk is used more than any one
in Prescott. Now there are sev-
eral places in the resident part
of the city where walks are badly
needed, especially on the round
about-street leading to the Agri-
cultural High School building.
Will the street committee see
that these walks are constructed:
Tonight at the Gem Theatre

are not vet beaten, however, and still
hope to bring the worlds pennant TO the
Polo Grounds. The Red soS have played
good ball. but they are not unbeatable.
and I feel confident that We can check
their rush on Monday"
Jake stahl was a happy man after the
game and spoke In high terms Of Hugh
Bedient. who held the Giants to three
hits. He IL not counting his chickens,
however. before they are Matched. and
said:
I'VE have got the edge on New York
