great event closes the season for
baseball and the great stars will 20

the managers of the different teams
will begin the marshaling Of their

The people never tire of the sport,

pore commodious quarters are built
and the vast outlay of capital in

The baseball hero, while he is in
the limelight from the time that Mr.

hero with the fair sex like the husky
bushy haired, padded, red-faced, red
