to-day the team leaves for RoxbOrOugh
and tomorrow Roxborough comes here.
Manager Harmer writes Manager VIE
.gand a letter stating that he Will win
or he will not take any money. He
certainly must have plenty of con-
fdence in his team to take a chance
like that against a bunch like wig
has gotten together. One thing sure
is. II they do win. they will know that
they have been playing ball
Friday the Wissahickon team will be
on deck ready TO win. This team has
proved itself to be one Of the best in
THE country, having defeated every
thing that has entered its park this
summer. with three exceptions. This
will be one more exception.
Saturday down they come prepared
10 win the game at any cost. Tama-
qua will be the attraction on Saturday
and are known TO be a hustling lo
of baseball players. They play the
game from start TO finish and keep the
nest teams in the country guessing.
This will be a hard week, but wig
says six more straight II the rain lets
US alone. The record last week Il
enough to keep any rooter talking foi
two weeks; II was one to be proud of.
