took OIL the Glasgow bunch of ball
rollers and the latter succeeded in
slipping one over on the Havre bunch

ORGANIZED BASEBALL.

Organized baseball is form of phi
Ianthropy instituted for the purpose of
keeping the wolf from the club own
er's door.
In the last ten years the wolf has
not approached within twenty seven
miles of the club owners door. This
is due 20 the fact that wolf once met
club owner. The wolf now hesitates
to approach within hailng distance of
the owners door, lest the owner come
out and inveiale im into buying a
gold brick.
Organized baseball has kept the
player in the bonds of slavery. 1t has

, He is a slave for life. All he can do
is to gamboI around for approximate
ly three hours every day at bank

bright picture. We once knew fin

But the three shell man answered
