Channel bass are more frequent

Those big doormats, founder, also

And besides practically all available
hotel and room space is taken now.
and while the big majority Of anglers
who went early to avoid the rush will
be gone, the fish still will be there.

neighborhood base ball. Rivalry BE-

"The league organization was good

"And the city series, the ono

Brusoue announcement on the
bulletin board of the National
Press Club, headquarters OF the

that a member had been expelled

The cause was not stated in the
formal announcement but it had
been the chief topic Of Washing
ton newspaper conversation for a
fortnight. The charges, which
had been bitterly debated, were
that a member had been guilty of
conduct unbecoming a gentleman
toward a fellow club member
and the injured club member in
this instance was none other than
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Stated the typewriter an
nouncement posted by the clubs
secretary:

American League last season.
Lost Four Tits
Having averaged 1876 games for

have yet to lose more than ten
games a season. Last season they
won 90 out of 90, including two
victories over Heurich. This year
they have lost but one game in 40.
Continuous action keeps them on
edge, for it is nothing for the
Celtics to play as many as two
games day.
Heurich, boasting victories over
the world famous renaissance and
Brooklyn Dux, will welcome the
return of Eddie Ace" Hargaden
and Tuffy Leemans. Hargaden
will be at forward with Whitley
