Who we are? Why, none other than the Marquette Club of the Lithuanian Alliance of America, Chapter 260, from Marquette Park. The Marquette Club, folks, in case you do not know, is the Junior Division of Chapter 260 in the largest of Lithuanian organizations of America, namely, Susivienijamas Lietuvin Amerikoj (Lithuanian Alliance of America).
In this thriving new Lithuanian community, the younger Lithuanian folk have formed a club, the only requisite for membership being that you are of Lithuanian parentage, so that we may perpetuate the language. The club meets regularly on the first and third Thursdays of each month at Gage Park, and has entered its second year of existence. All sports are sponsored. The baseball team, under the direction of Anthony Schnukas, has attained national prominence, with a record of twelve games won and three lost for the 1929 season.
Yet, as we look back, we find that accomplishments of the weaker sex come 2 vividly to the front, for our charming group of girls has been instrumental in the success of our undertakings.
One of the features of the Marquette Club is the maintenance of a news column under the caption "Marquette Murmurs," which appears from time to time in the leading Lithuanian publications of the country. In this column a section is devoted to local gossip, as described in our previous articles.
