Next Sunday the Boosters" will
play the Moscow team in this city.
In past years Moscow has had one of
the strongest teams in the Inland
Empire and in all probability this
year will be no exception.
Moscow has made application to be
admitted to the league, and Colfax,
Pullman and Palouse are favorable
to their admission. In case the
Moscow team is admitted the game
at PalOuse last Sunday, when Palouse
won by a large score, will count in
the race for the pennant, as will
also the game in Pullman next Sun
day.
The standing of the teams after
last Sundays games is as follows:
