These outfits are the tributes

by our love and respect for our

milton OF what the United States
army did for baseball and what IL

they civilized tie Philippines.
And now you are taking this
game into France. More than

into Germany when you roll the
Germans across the Rhine. You
are the boys who are going to
roll them back. Nobody else Is
going to do IT. You are. And

show their appreciation OF Mr.. Brown citizen, a
musician and composer, and also to symbolic, in a

Wilmington Is much the better because Mr. Brown made
