Tomorrow ForenOOn-The
New BrewS.

ball Clubs of the Mercantile League
will play ball on the Oak Park dia-
mond this afternoon, beginning
promptly at 3:45. The two games
played by the High School boys recent
ly show that they know how to play
good ball.
The boys have practiced faithfully
during the past week, as they realize
that they will have hard game with
the Capitols. The latter club recently
defeated the strong Waterhouse & Les
ter nine by large score, and have
since been strengthened in the outfield.
McManus, local twirler of note, will
pitch for the Capitols, and should he
play his usual game base hits will be
scarce for his opponents. Jack Powers,
who is said to be the best catcher in
the league, will catch, While Smith and
Cowden will be in the points for the
High School.
Judging from the interest taken in
the game, there will be a large crowd
present, including a great many High
School girls who never fail to be pres
ent when their favorites play.
