Eastern Athletic Club.
The baseball team of the Eastern Attn
letic Club added another game to its long
and unbrokeR string OF victories last Mon
day by defeating the Capital City club for
the second time this summer
The team has beaten everything in sight
except the Shamrocks, with whom there
has as yet been no game. contest or a
series Of contests between these crack
teams would be interesting ana would I'M
doubtedly draw out big crowds.
Next week the members will begin put
ting the clubrooms in shape for the in
door seasons work. and as soon as the
temperature permits light practice in bas-
ketball viii begin.
The basketball team will be about the
same as the one which won the cham
pionship last season. There will be sew
eral new players to take the places of
those who have expressed their intention
of dropping out.
The team viii have new manager, as
DR.. HouseI who SO successfully piloted
the players last season, will not again
serve in an official capacity.
