nateur circles, will be played in
Alexandria Sunday, and will undoubt
edly be the most interesting event of

The Dreadnaught manager has
l"any applications for games with
teams, but is slow in closing agree
n1ents when their ability to play dn
fast company is doubted. Champion

baseball. Politeness in rebuklng
these challenges is the policy OF the

ION in the sport who challenges the
Dreadnaughts in the spirit OF honest
workmanship will receive it's de-
