1t is practically useless for the
worlds champions TO deny that they

Rajah" on the National League slug
ging circle, slammed out two complete
circuit clouts during the afternoon, and
brought his total up to the fairly re-

these blows was inside the playing field,

other WAS dropped snugly into the up
