lie is constructing a wharf at the

grounded, leaving her bow in deep
water, and she turned over on her side
and in such a position that the incom

Members of the baseball teams are
considerably vexed and rightly so ov
er the cutting up or the baseball dia

are still somewhat wet and soft, and
the autos have cut it up badly, en
tailing unnecessary expense in put
ting it in condition for playing again.
They request auto drivers to refrain
from making a speedway of the ball
park.
