The Pittsburg cricket team is scheduled
to play in Chicago on July and s, but it
begins to look as if the team would be
weakened from the fact that some of the
Chicago will put its best men in the field
and that means that they are determined to
win the Western end of the Intercity
league. Outing, in discussing the game,
says: 'The match between Pittsburg and
Chicago on July 4 and 5, is now very much
in doubt with the odds probably in favor of
Detroit by 2O2 to 81 and &c. This year
Pittsburg won from Detroit by 1873 to 107
and IS, but our team was strong. It is true
that Chicago's team has been weakened by
the death Of Mr.. Self and the recent illness
of DR.. Ogden and j. G. Davis, and by the
loss of Tom Dali, who is playing for De-
troit this year, but the managers Of the
team have been sparing much time in
practicing the men so that If Pittsburg goes
there with weak team the chances th at we
win are materially lessened.
The time for the holding Of the fourth an
nual tournament of the championship OF
the Western Pennsylvania singles, on the

burg Tennis Club, is fast approaching. The

Brown and Thomas Ewing, has issued cir.
cular calling attention to the fact that the
