ERRONEOUS STATEMENT

A number of our residents who
favored the illegal election held re-
comfy by the Real Estate Owners of
this town, among themselves, for the
purpose of deciding whether they
would permit the installation of a
sewer system here and deciding,
among themselves, that they would
not, have advanced the statement
that when the town voted some years
ago to issue bonds for the water
system, property owners alone were
permitted to vote.
We wish to advise that this state
ment is not true. Reference to our
files shows the advertisement for
that election stipulates that all leg
ally qualified voters and taxpayers
OF Rising Sun were permitted to vote
on the question.

car, who caused the accidenl, escap-
ed with minor cuts, but his brother
Felix, was badly cut about the head
and shoulders and bled profusely

tered aid.

and Mrs. Levi B. Kirk and her
daughter taken to Lancaster, Pa,

Last season Hubbell won ID and

league in earned runs and seventh
by the percentage figures. He will
not vary a great deal from that
record this year. although he has
done harder and better work. 1t

pitch all his good games as well as
he pitched them last season. and
some games even better. It is very
seldom that lefthanders have two
seasons so much alike, and this goes
to show what a consistent performer
Hubbell is.
One pitcher on the New York club
will surpass him in percentage, and
he IS Adolfo Luque. Although not
one of the big four of the team, as
Hubbell, Fitzsimmons, Schumacher

Luque is a very good added fifth

No sir Hubbell has gone IN and
taken his regular turn IN the Dox
lust as though he were an ordinary
plodding hurler and, as if this were
not enough, he has been pitch
torked into games to help out
wavering pitchers, who looked as
though they needed relief.

Yet Hubbell is the first National

has lost three fewer than Hubben.

seasons he has been second only to

Cronin also had won laurels at

brilliant tennis players.
But along came Joe Devine, Pitts

the San Francisco fiedgling promises
of fame and fortune to be gained in
base ball. So Cronin began q career
that in eight years led to his manage

the age of 26, with the goal of becoming
the youngest pilot ever to steer q club

Cronin was born in San Francisco
