Teams That 'Take a Chance" Lead Races

NeihOff of Louisville; Reilly of Indian

Race Still Tight.
By their victory in the opening battle
with the Blues, while their rivals, the
Aiillers. were being walloped by St
Paul, the Brewers pulled away to a
two and one-half game lead over Min
neapOlis.
The race is very tight again. It
will be necessary for the Millers to dis

turn around to defend their position
against Jack Hayden's fast rushing
COlOnels. Jack Hayden Is another be
lever in the take a chance" method
of winning ball games as is shown by
the dashing attack Of the Colonies
Although Jack Neihoff is the only one
among the leading 10 base stealers Of
the circuit, others on the club possess
considerable speed
This team must be considered in the
fight

Erected as the mother church Of

undergone time after time the stress
Of war and abandonment, the ravages
Of decay and fire.

and given by the purchaser to st.

1876 gave it back to the old parish
