...near approach of the championship games brings to mind the inadequate accommodations for the scorers which have been provided in past years by the management. At present there is room for only six men at the scorers' table. The need of ampler space is evident. Last year at the championship games it was often the case that ten or fifteen reporters were obliged to score the game without having the slightest conveniences for their work.

...given by the society in May, L'Affair de la Rue de la Lourcine. This comedy or rather farce, is one of the brightest of the small pieces written by Labiche, and if well put on cannot but be a success. There are five principal characters so it will need quite a number of men to make it a success. All who can should go tonight to hear it and see if there are parts which they think they could take.
