not prove Il JOY forever, but it's just
bound to be Il advertisement of no
mean caiibre. That's just ono OF the
reasons why the clash between the
baseball teams of the Wcstmorcland
and Commonwealth clubs Is going to
attract extraordinary attention. An
other. and equally as compelling rca-

game will go 10 the Shcltcrnc Arms
Free Hospital. The combination should

ScrOoSes OF Richmond. assuming that
there are any ScrooEcs In Richmond,

At headquarters Yesterday, Colonel
Hill, who will he responsible for the
