The series Will be played on the

In the city, which diamonds will not
be announced until the schedule is
ready for publication. The schedule
cannot be adopted until the date of
closing Of each league is absolutely
certain. The reason for not announc,

not want to give any team an ad-
vantage.

The games will start on or about the
18th Of August. and the preliminary
contests will be finished in about ten
playing days, after which the series

Manager Cornell has an aggregation
that never throws the ball away, which
is the fault of most of the amateurs.
