unfulfilled. in spite of the fact that

then frozen SO solid that all its usual

Last year American Falls had the
best amateur base ball team In Idaho.
This was largely due to the masterful
work OF A. Il. Kelly In the pitchers box
although the club was very strong In
other positions. Not all the excellent

the front last year but we still have
