So you use. fellows, it seems
to be the opinion of everyone

With the big party only few
Hays off and the league opening
following close behind, the asSo-
citation is booming at full blast.
The entries are coming in fast
and the league is showing lots
nf promise. The entire league
machinery is ready to function
as soon as the teams reach the
100 mark. The teams now num-
ber II. Come on, boys, a little
quick action, make it snappy.
When the teams reach the 100
mark, we start. Twenty-Five
more to go, fellows. Get them
in fast, and the wheels of the
mammoth league machinery will
begin to roll along in double
quick time.

the party unless he has regis
tered his team at the office OF
the director. Room 408, The
