one even if onesided. We never had so
much fun since the ball games started as
we had last Saturday, even the Warden en-
joyed the game from beginning to end.
The musical director, Mr.. Christensen,
wants several singers for the choir. Any
one with good voice and good disposition
may join. 1t is not required that you can
read music; the voice is the essential re-

The first outside team that goes against
the prison team will get surprise, there are
several new players in the team that are
real ball players who are showing good
judgment and "alive" every minute of the
game.
