pected chat the contest viii be an inter
esting and hotly-conteSted exhibition
from start to finish and entirely worthy of

Lawrence Creoli, catch; Pat Tearney, first

On Sunday, July 3, the Blues will
lineup against the crack Chickasaw In
dams, an aggregation of ball tossers COM
posed of genuine red men. This game
viii be started promptly at 3 clock, so as
to permit the spectators to leave the park
in plenty of time to witness the grand
parade of Elks. which will take place at
5 o'clock p. m.
DonaldsonyiIIe has suffered the humil-
iation Of permitting one baseball team
to give up the ghost this season on ac-
count of lack of patronage, and it is
to be hoped the fans of the city and ada
cent country will be little more generous
in their support of the new venture in this
line and attend the games scheduled by
Mr. Weber in such numbers as to insure
the maintenance of the team and give
some tangible evidence of their desire to
have the national sport perpetuated in
this city.
