The Junior Knights are having a busy week. The Knights meet the Tabs in a two out of three series, and on Saturday afternoon at Tabs in a two out of three series, and on Saturday afternoon at 2:So p. m. meet the Pembertons who accepted our challenge. We are still patiently waiting to hear from the SoutS End Bulldog.
 John Brennan has had his thrill of a lifetime. Last week I stated that John was going to catch the Tanks and Cleveland's doubleheader this coming Saturday. John goes down and of all the unexpected things, Monte Pearson of the Yankees pitches, Ilo-hit, no-run game. I saw John the next day and asked John what he thought of the feat and here is the answer in Johns own words. Tt was great specta- cle to watch and marvel at." Pear sons curve was breaking beautifully and his control was superb.
 John also told me that Joe Dl- Maggia can certainly clout the old horsehide, and that the Tanks looked unbeatable against Cleveland.
 Joe Delaney, who would rather play golf than eat, recently entered the caddies tournament at the Chase Golf Course and from what I read in the papers, Joe didn't do so bad. Joe keeps the boys very much on edge with his swell golf yarns.
 The all-tar team of opposition that stated here last week certain ly has stirred up a controversy. It seems everyone I feet says, "Why did you put so and so on the team, what was the matter with me?", etc. To these players my answer Is I chose the team to the best of my ability, and the Junior Knights and myself still think 1t IS the best op- position team we faced. l hope that closes the incident.
 Now that the baseball season is nearly over the Junior Knights are busy organizing for the winter. The Knights are in search of . club house and hope to secure one very shortly. Before going any further I want to urge every member of the Junior Knights to be present at a very important meeting to be held this week. Mike Ritucci, head of the committee in charge tells me that the most important business of the year will be discussed. So don't forget fellows, be there.
 Gossip of the day about Junior Knights. Mike Ritucci is striving to make the Junior Knights a great club instead of just good one. <. |. Keep 1t up, Mike. Ed Errichetti is sadly missed when he doesn't ap. pear at a game. Thought Red Byrnes does capable job. he's still no Ed, The day after Donie Mancini re- turned from seeing big league ball game, and after watching Gehrig and all the other sluggers in action came up to Fulton Park where we were to play the Corsairs. Before the game Donie was telling everyone all about the way he learned a new batting stunt and that he was go- ing to murder the ball. In the game what happens? Donie strikes out three consecutive times which ought to prove something or other. Frankie Sedlick informs me that while he took a nose dive in batting I shouldn't forget the rest of the boys who slumped. If did that, Frank, I'd have to put down the whole team. Aside to MT. Calo, whose first name slips me at the moment. According to Vito Gilino you want to get In touch with me, If so, you can reach me at 25 Sum- mer street. Now that the baseball season is practically over, I hereby name the batting champ of the Junior Knights. Ed Errichetti with an average of .33S is the team leader in batting for 1888. Mike Ritucci is second with an average of .Sl8. Congratulations, boys. . Sammy Lombardo wants to know why he can't pitch a game. |. Who'll answer that one.
 Until next week I say on behalf of the Junior Knights: So long and keep headingl
