Commissioners to Play Fourth Presby-

The crack Commissioners team will cross
bats at the American League Park tomor-
row afternoon with the champion team OF
the Fourth Presbyterian Sunday school at
$3.50 o'clock. and the contest will doubtless
prove to be one of the most interesting Of
the season. The Fourth Presbyteriaus were
the champions of the Church League last
year. and from the game of ball which
they are putting up this season they bid
fair to come up to the standard which they
displayed last year. The lineup of the
teams will be:
Commissioners - Holman, center field
Venable, shortstop; ColIifiower, first base;
Handiboe, second base: Browne, right field;
Gates. catcher; Cantwel pitcher
Fourth Presbyterians-Bradle catcher;
