AN OLD DIVERSION UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

Leaving the checker players in a lonesome hunt for victims, JohnHolden has introduced a new form of amusement that he thinks in time will prove more popular than appendicitis. He has organized a two-team sev-en-up lehgue, and every Thursday night they meet in a titanic struggle for mastery. The team under his leadership is composed of Attorney E. P. Honan, R. B. Harris and Dr. H. J. Kannal. Their opponents are M. Leopold, A. Halleck, W. V. Porter and J. H. Chapman. The first game of the series wqs pulled off at Mr. Holden’s last Thursday night and resulted in a victory for his team of 24 to 16.
