an unusually successful season under the
clever handling of Coach Bradley, Captain
Downes and Manager Greevy, and but few

with O'Hara on second and Byrnes in CEN
ter the club will be able to make its usual
good showing against the Chicago Uni
versity team. which comes to this city for
games tomorrow and Saturday. White,
Bewitt and Golden will probably do the
twirling, and with these men in good con-
