NEWS OF THE WHEELMEN

The Pacific Athletic Clu is playing the
Railway Athletic Club this afternoon y
the Johnston avenue grounds ana II
should be a rafting game. The hahWass
are expected to play q good exnlpitioh'
as they nave strengthened their team loi
this game by taking in a few GOOD minor
league PLAYERS. This is the third TIME
these teams nave met and each mas d
victory to it's credit, so there Is the ue-
Gliding game at issue today. The RahWays
are probably the strongest players Tue
Pacifcs have met. They are neaVy hlt-
tiers and the manner in which they pouho-
ed Wall on their two former visits mas
led the Pacifics to take a step, the ad-
visibility of which cannot now be deter-
mined. Wall is to be displaced. wal mas
been a good old wagon, but the Rahways
break him down. That is the figuring OF
4he Paci6cs and not a few are impressed
with the opinion that sorrow will follow
the step.
The West New York Field Club Will
have the strong Ironsides of Newark 70
play against tomorrow on the Niles ave-
nue. grounds, West New York. This IS
the second game arranged between the
Two teams. The first one was an exceleht
exhibition. the West New Yorks winning
by a very close score. John l.. SULLIVAN
srmpired that game and the visitors
claimed that he gave the home team the
game when they had not rightfully won
1T. So they are coming here tomorrow
with the only intention they ever have to
win. but it will be greatly heightened as
they figure Manager Mersheimer's aggre-
cation is a cinch. The genial manager,
however. has had his men at it pretty
hard since their defeat last Sunday by the
New Haven Club and he will have the best
ball his players know tomorrow, and if
the Ironsides can beat that there viii be
no kick. In years gone by the Ironsides,
and the organization is an old one, We're
MP with the cracks of the semi-profes-
sIonal class. They always put a strong
team In the field and give a good exhi-
bition.
The Hobokens will play the Pacific
Athletic Club tomorrow On the ST. George
Cricket Grounds and the game should
be a fast, snappy one. The Paclncs are
going to Hoboken tomorrow filled with
hope and ambition. Mike Connolly, the
Pacifc's manager, has one ambition for
his club. and that is that they defeat the
Hobokens, who have gained the position
on Inc summit Il II
class hereabouts and his aggregation mas
been doing good honest work in practice
for this game, and they will certainly
give a good account of themselves be-
fore the game is over. Oakley Wood
will go back to his old position on the
Initial station tomorrow for the Hobo
kens. The Hobokens will have to play a
better game than they put up gains
the Cuban x-Giants last Sunday. 1t Is
to be hoped that the new men have had
some practice so that they might get IN
the game the old ones have been in.
The x-Rays will oppose the Anchor
Baseball Club tomorrow in Hoboken. The
teams are both young and evenly match
ed. so that 1t should be a good game The
Anchors have a surplus of money they
are willing to offer in support of their
opinion of the outcome of the game II
there is any one who thinks that the
x-Rays can win.
