Ign, have not been decided on. 1t is set
tied that Low rrick and Wooten will
be on the teamn which plays for the Ham
ilton trophy. But Who will be the fourth
member of the team Is still uncertain. The
choice lies betwesn T. P. Borden, Fogg
and Qrackenbush. Fogg practiced with the
team on Wednesday evening. He played
on the team that defeated the Albany and
Hamilton clubs for the American League
trophy last winter. His strength as q
player is well recognized. He Is not how

Low, Rarrick and Wooten. On Wednes-
day evening the team had as opponents
Messrs. Quackenbush, McComb, Cole and
W. T. Johnson. The latter defeated them
by q few points. The team that viii rep
will probably be composed Of Quacken-
bush, McComb, Williamson and Rritton.
The choice of the, teams rests with Mr..
Harry N. Low, the captain. He states that
he IS not yet ready to make, any an
nouncements
