Many fans at the game. Saturday
night asked why the lettering on the
uniforms of the Rockland players.
Upon their chests they wore S. S. A.
while across their backs were the
words Pie: II. This is the insignia of
the newly organized athletic club in
Rockland of which EX-Postma ster
John l.. Donahue is the promoter. 1t
is called the Steamship Athletic and
the club room is furnished as far as
it. is possible like unto an ocean
liner. There is the main deck. the
saloon deck, the hurricane deck, the
main saloon. the dining saloon with
the captains table, and all officers
bear nautical names, captain, mates,
purser. etc. The club is situated on
LIMERICK street at what is called
Pier II, hence the name on the uni
form. To say that the Steamship
Athletic struck a tyrhoon when she
sailed into the port of Belfast would
be putting it mildly. This was the
same lineup which defeated the
Shows in Rockland a week ago in
the newly originated city league.
