Wise gave a dinner of five eourses to his Goodharts in the ' large dininir hall of the Hole! Sailer, * Tuesday evening, and thus celebrated i the clos*1 of the most successful baseball j season that a Massillon team has ever enjoyed.

Market, Tom Jones, Harry Smith, B. | Heyman, Julius Wittmann, Willard j Gove, George Keller, Otto liuhmair, John Nolan, Jacob Bullach, Arthur Anderson,C. Heyman, T. F. McGinty and George Good hart, in whose honor the club was named, and who presented it with hand-f j some new uniforms shortly after organ - j c s ization. * ^s Trie dinner was quite informal, and y f while there were notoastsor set speeches j everybody had something to say. In the j Course of the evening, Manager Wise was given a handsome silver tea set, Ray -v L. Markel making the presentation ^ speech, in which he voiced the senti- { merits of the entire team by saying that Manager Wise had worked assiduously i m to make the club what it was, and that i that was its method of showing its ap- ^ preciation. Manager Wise responded in c a pleasant mam er, thanking the team, and modestly saying that but for its co- ‘ i operation, nothing could have been ac- v comptished. tBefore the first course each player found beneath his plate a check for $47. . this being the tinal division of the funds y on hand. The clnb is now entirely free n from debt, the players have each re- .li I * lt;£1 | ceived a fair compensation for their sea- .son’s work, and they have played and ^ f I won more games than any other amateur ^ team in the state. Altogether the Good-harts are to be congratulated upon their ^ successful season, and Massillon is to be ^ congratulated upon having a team that has reflected so much credit upon it.WELCOME PAY DAY. tlt;
