ILAL DALI nUAA0AA Af AiA4A DE-
 There may be baseball game Sunday between Juneau and Tread well on the grounds of the latter, and again there may not. Tread we'll is anxious for a game with the Juneau team now that the long deferred game with Dougas has been disposed of and Tom Mac Donald. manager of the Treadwen team. has been endeavoring to get Pat Scott. the Juneau manager, in Ia conference to settle the matter, So far they have been unable to make connections and get togeth Ter.
 Several of the members Of the .Jmeau team do not feel disposed to play any more baseball this sea son. They have been out of the game for three weeks, and feel that it is folly for them to go. againsts the Treadwell team, which has been playing regularly.
 The Juneau team is crippled. Fossas is out of town and will not be back Sunday, and several of the boys are working in positions where it will be extremely difficult to get away. King is the only member of the Juneau team that has had any practice and is in condition. The rest of the bunch are soft and probably couldn't put up good grade of barn lot ball.

Oldrinq Hits in Pinch.

Rube Oldring made himself sol lid with New York fans the other day. The Tanks were trailing on the wrong end of a 6-3 score at Chicago, when they rallied desper- ately in the ninth inning and pull ed the game out of the fire by scoring five runs Rube hit for a home run with the bases full, accounting for four of the tallies.
 That's just like a tale from the story book where the hero slams out the hit that wins the game and walks off with the belle of the yil- lage.
 Rube thought he wanted to quit baseball when he got his release from Connie Mack, but few exper- fences like that of last week will make him think that this is a pretty good old world after all.
