MdudB6T hIICIlcll o1 LAA0 AolIoSCpOAt club, made wise move in signing Johnny Nagle to catch for the locals. Nagle is a heady receiver and that quality is needed behind. the bat just now. As Gather has started well in left field, Lee Gooch has been releas- ed. Heis a good hitter but poor as a fielder. Manager Krichell expects Dug Smith, who has been laid up with a set of damaged fingers, to return to the game this week.
 The hard hitting Lawrence club will come here tomorrow for a double header with Bridgeport. The last time the Massachusetts boys played here they took both ends of a. double. but Manager Krichell hopes at least to get an even break tomorrow. The first game will be called at D. ru.

Germany has not sunk as many American ships nor taken as many American lives in the month following the with drawal of her pledges as she did in curing some other single months. And ye: there was threat of ruthless war fare. It has not been so ruthless in reality and if no very serious affront is put on the honor of the United

 Take the American wars and you will find tha. the loser was the one to suggest the end of the fighting.
 England and not the United States was the power to request peace in the revolution and the United States was the winner.
 Mexico and not the United States was the first to talk peace in the cls sh 70 years ago. and again America was the winner.
