TOm0rrow's Game at orange Will
CIOse the Season.

The 1897 season of baseball on the
Orange oval will come to a close tomor-
row afternoon at $3.50 P. M, when the
team representing the Orange Athletic
Club will play their final game with the
Newark Athletic League team.
The Orange team ave played about 40
games this season, and have only been
beaten by the strongest National League
and the Newarks. They have a percent
age OF about .775, a record they are justly
proud of. The only team that have de-
feated them nave been their old rivals the
very sore over the fact that they were
unable to administer a defeat to them,
because they had repeatedly beaten teams
that in turn had "licked' Deacon Ellis
aggregation.
AS a fitting roundup the Orange man.
agement made arrangements where
by their team could have another
chance at their foes, and Captain
Thomas feels confident that his team will
win this last game. A game between
these two teams never fails to please the
Critics. who are generally in attendance
at the oval, and as the followers of the
Newarkers haven't had a chance to see
their favorites play since the close of the
Atlant1c league, a good size auQlence Will
undoubtedly be at the oval.
