by March first, and at that time the
team could be lined up fairly we'll.

Burlington Gazette; The signing of
George H. Manusch by the Keokux
directors was prudent move on
their part and had they shown as
much prudence in a number OF other
matters this year their team would
have as good standing at present as
any OF them. They did not seeming

were worth when they rid themselves
OF Bresnanan. Kelley, ct al. They
should have realized that these men
would have given new manager the
nucleus of fine team and that 1t is
easier to hold what one has in tho
way of material than to raise the
wherewithal to purchase men to fill
their places.
