as the teams surged up and down the field. The game was witnessed by the

Captain David J.
Brothers
died of heart failure Tuesday evening at the age of 67. Captain Brothers will

most active citizens for years and leaves a monument to his memory which
entitles him to due respect now when the last farewell rites are being
administered.
