They will play ball in summer and in winter indulge 1n the e hilaration produced by gymnasium di- vertisement. In ball playing the sides will be selected at random after the old style of choosing sides, and each side will wear the uniform used by the members so selected on that day. “There are twen- ty of these suits, 'Ten are of drab gr the other ten of maroon. ‘I'nese sides will be exclusively composed of members of the association and the result is ex- pected to be not alone exercise but also enjoyment and delightful intercourse.
