The folks In the immediate Vicinity
of the Defiance Clubhouse on Jackson

night.
1t started when "Red" Hession and
Joe Fillibcn were seen suddenly to
dart from behind the screen at home

Side-Eden game yesterday and make
their way toward centrefield. Out there
they met "Fuze" Quinn, captain OF last
years football team. The three had
their heads together for nearly ten
minutes. talking confdentially.
However. drifts from the conversa-
ton like this were heard: mo, it's too
early yet" walt till baseball sea-
sons over" but well get the jump on
them" ut ain't too hot" Jaw, it
looks like rain, not tonight" etc.
Finally the conversation ended when
"Fuze" walked away and hailed
Swinger, youth from out of the
crowd and whispered something in his
ear. The youth shot out of the play
ground and went up Third street
like he was on the run for a doctor.
"Obie" O'Brien. "Moon" arroll and
Bill Walsh joined the crowd which by
now was acting like they were n little
silly. They were hitting each other or
the back, calling out all kinds OF num-
hers, bucking each other like a gang
OF wild steers.
Finally the boy, Swinger, came
down through the Jackson street gate
