President Bernard Of the local Club
has come in for quite bit OF criti-
cism from members of the team re-
Gently 1t seems that Johnny has
been negleeting the team to look
after Chickens, and this has consid~
erably peeved the team, and they had
thought, judging from Johnnys as
sidious attentions. that they were his
one and only love. Since this new
feature has appeared in the Presi-
dents life he il serenely ignoring the
team while dashing madly from Val
ley to Mountain and back again look
ing after the aforementioned chick

dent, that he makes a success Of any
ching he attempts, and this latest de-

very commendable,
The ladies of the North End OF

Matrons from West Depot street on
The local grounds on Friday after
noon We do not know whether this
game will materialize or not, as we
heard some of the West Enders say
that they objected Co playing some of
the Cuban Giants on the N. End team.
We hope this little friction will be
ironed out and that we may have the
pleasure Of witnessing this confess I
Mr. Mullen, at the earnest solicitiR

sented to Umpire this game. One of w.
The teams was especially anxious to \
get this Umpire as they say that he6
had the reputation Of winning more
games, single handcd, than any plag~'

The turn Of The lane may be near

about long road that has no turn liz
as true today as ever and wa are
air-castles on this Lire Of
dope May we suddenly dash into
view lust ahead, and may our Club
sweep all opposition off their feet
FOR short while!' A little Of the
above would go a long way with our
iaded fans, and the crowds that would
urn out would make our neighboring
cities set up and take notice. We
have the rep Of being the best sup
porting town in the circuit and we
10 not propose to LET few defeats

'pect. We warn the team 10 again
ook for great outpouring of the
faithful on their next appearance on
