Standards would play the Buckeyes and
the La Belle The Clippers Of Bellalre,
the two winning club, TO play for the

that the winning clubs in the fist contest
would be the Standards and La Bell

prediction.
Al. interest was concentrated in the
game between the Standards and La.
Bellies, although the LaBelies knew that
they would have to play in order to beat
the Clippers, of BcIlairc, Us they only
beat them BY score OF to on Satur-
day two weeks, and the Bciiares had
strengthened their nine very materially
since the last game. Long before the
game was finished between the l4aB3l.o
and Clippers the Standard had gotten
through with their scrub game for such
it was, as it was made up Of all Standard
men, and none of the regular first nine
playing in their places, and had come
down to witness tho terminus Of tho La
Belle and Clippers, and tho 5ackerS Of
the Standards were very tout IN Offering

Bellies had no person at this time who
was boisterous in Offering bet, they took
all that wero offered.
The Standards were very anxious to
commence the game, and would not al

had some thirty minutes in which to re-
fresh themselves.
