follow these two rules, and you will have the golden key of knowledge.—Ex. I—Ease ball fans are now asking: To [ V whom does the pennant belong? To Warren of course. The Iron and Oil league ceased to be on July 5 when the Celoron team was counted out. At that time Warren lead the standing by II points, with Bradford second. Warren had won 30 games and lost 11 to Bradford’s won 31 and lost 12. The Warren team is unquestionably entitled to thepennant 1 1—The Iron and Oil league is no more. The end which we have been anticipating s nee July 5th, came quietly and peacefully last evening. It was not that people love base ball less but that they love war and their count* y more and are now spending their $pa*-e change for little sticky papers to paste on things. Well, the league made a heroic stand in the face of great odds and that it had not succumbed before to the inevitable is what we cannot understand. In times of peace the battle of the bats and balls is sufficient to arouse the enthusiasm of the average American for his national game, but this year base ball has been a failure. Nearly all of the minor leagues have gone under on account of “lack of patronage and it could not be expected that the Iron and Oil could outlast the others. Warren’s team under the management of Mr. Jas. Erady has been all that could be desired. The young men composing it have always conducted them^lves as gentlemen and by their courteous'manner both on and off the field have won the esteem of the people of Warren. Our team has not been in such financial straits that disbandment was necessary and if the other clubs had held up their ends Warren could have done her shaie. A benefit game will be played on Saturday with the State Hospital club, Indian Hill pitches for the hospital. Every one turn out and give the boys a good big send off.
