seen that both teams are prined for the
fray.

The Engineers have been working hard
for the last three weeks for this game.
1t will be remembered that the ENGINEERS

baseball with the st. Louis Browns and

Pat Wells, who capitalized the great 1884,

fall of 1898 in one of the hardest-fought
games ever seen on the old Red Field,
