^Board of Trade in Bellmore
We are earnestly hoping for the re- establishment of the Bellmore Board of Tra'de. We think there is room for such a Board in th'w village. Why the old one was allowed to die out we can¬ not state, but it should have been kept alive without doubt.
Wc stand ready to work for and with tbis Board and invite from our Bell¬ more readers suggestions on this sub¬ ject. Are you interested? We would ask your opinion. Write us your views and give them publicity through the colurn.is of this paper.

choked the score board with more than twenty-five runs it was too tiresome to follow the slaughter. Umpire Frank Roberts was very patient and the only thing we can say was that the local team got a chance to do some practic¬ ing. The Bellmore Club recejVes good support from the residents here and they turn out to see a good game of ball, not an imitation. Stronger teams as opponents are needed and even if the boys do score a failure now and then it will not be as bad as a bur¬ lesque on the game we have had to re¬ port in the cases of the colored players and the Saranacs.
We stand by the local team in every way. They are good players and put up a strong game and we make this suggestion in the hope that they will give the village a better grade of ball than recently.
