City League standings.

Baseball fans are anticipating one
OF the hardest fought games Of the
season Sunday afternoon at Rio Grande
park when the league leading Weston
team clashes with the Purity CLUB
under the leadership Of Sim Davis
Thus far the Weston team has not been
defeated, and inasmuch as the Purity
players have declared themselves as in
on the pennant race some fast base
ball is expected when the two clubs
meet on the field IN the second game.
The Weston team is the hardest hit
ting club OF the entire league, having
a collective average Of as against
400 OF the Purity squad. Pelphrey has
probably the best bunch Of hitters that
has been seen in a long time. and is
well equipped in the box with Elliott
and Thorpe. Both OF these whirlers
have given the fans an idea of their
ability IN previous games. and it IS
known that each can deliver the goods
in proper shape.
Davis viii doubtless rely on Red
Brennan or Weiss Brennan is the
more reliable tWirler as Weiss may get
caught off form. and the result would
be a sWatfest for the Weston team.
In the event that the little fellow is
going good. however, the fans are N
for a hard game.
