first road trip out of the tri-cities this
season next Monday, opening at the
Island City park with Darringer's

pected.
The Islanders played Hannibal this
afternoon, and will perform in the
Missouri town again tomorrow after
noon, yesterdays contest being called
off on account of wet grounds.
Manager Lister is well satisfied with
the form shown by the team on the
road. Boston" Wolfe has recovered
from his batting slump, and the in
field has been materially strength.
