Newport 5 return to life must be
attributed to change in management.
Jerry Donovan was released a week
ago Saturday. and under the leader
ship of Nolk the players are putting
up an improved game. The return OF

as the town is small and the summer
residents have been counted upon tc
help out largely. The expenses of the
team have been met by few, and
an Improvement in the team 5 playing
