the attendant had given him.
The charge against the attendant was OF

summoned the man and questioned MN:
He admitted that he had had little tuSSle

really been the serious injury that Carson
claimed there would surely be some evidence

a small lump on the point OF the Jaw, when

He made remarkable record as man.
ager of the LAGRANGE team the past sea-
son and by many it was supposed that he
would be in charge again this year of the
LAGRANGE club, but his decision to take
up chamber of commerce work as a life
profession has very likely closed his
ba aseball career.
During his management of the La
Grange club he formed a very close
friendship with Secretary Edward Young
Clarke of the LAGRANGE Chamber OF
Commerce, and became so interested in
the work of this organization that he
stated when he left he would very prob
ably enter the work at a later date.
AS yet he has not definitely decided
where he will locate, having several diff

friends here wish him success in his new
