sshletics only their heartiest and
cooperative moral support.

g tne wish that DR.. Mueller and

uleiess worker for the best inter-
~ OF the fans, was impelled to
s.cilne the honor because OF bust
lne oficors and directors will
wta their immediate. attention to
s opening Of the season. and the
cme OF optimism is prevalent.
