: Providence has a Lead Of nine
points in the International League
entering the final week of the PEN
nant struggle. Everything is in the
Grays' favor, for they wind up at
home with two easy teams-Jersey
City and Baltimore, while Rochester
meets Buffalo in the Flower City and
then travels to Toronto for its final
set. Both clubs wind up Saturday.
1t looks like Providence now. They
have won two more games and have
lest one less, insuring a lead of one
game and half. To pass them the
Hustlers must win twice and the
Grays must lose twice. Providence
can afford to drop one of it's games
and Rochester can win all without
even getting into a tie for the lead.
1t looks cinch for the Donovan
crew.
An exhibition game with the Iron
side r. c. will be played by the New
ark Club at South Side Oval next
Sunday morning.
Larry Sutton, business manager of
the Newark Club, is in demand this
fall. An alluring offer has been made
to him by the New York and New
