The surprise of the week was Monday night when Billie Cavan- naugh,s Beef trust knocked off Fitzmaurice's Butchers by score of g to 8. Pitcher Red Ladden of Bolger's team better look around at the start of each inning and see that the outfield is ready to play. M. Byron better put an anchor on that right arm of his so he won't toss them over Al Pauls head.
 Billie Fitzmaurice would like to know whether G. Daly's hit was in- tentional or not, it certainly won the ball game for Cavannaugh.

agreeable provided Poland'S consent
could be obtained.
2.-France was inclined 70 decline
