Fort Wriaht af the Falls.

The game Sunday afternoon at the Falls diamond promises to be the best played game of the season, as both teams are in fine shape and eager for the fray.
 The Fort Wright boys have a great team, and have yet to be beaten this year. -&
 The feature of the Fort team is their infield, which is comprised of Univer- sity of Illinois players exclusively, all having been drafted at the same time, and stands just as it did on their college team. The pitcher, Elkins, is former New Haven player, and Peterson, the catcher, is a Three-I leaguer.
 The All-Norwich lineup is still an uncertain thing, but the Norwich fans can expect to see many new players on the team, and real fast boys, every one of them.
 The Fort Wright lineup is as fol- lows: Lampson ss, Carroll 1b, Gish 3b, Peterson c, Osborne 2b, McCaskall If, Brouillard cf Halliday If, and Elkin pitch.
