Weather permitting, Marion county
baseball teams will participate In
three good games this afternoon and
four more games tomorrow. This
morning Il was cloudy and looked as
though 1t might rain, which would
mean postponement Of all the
games this afternoon and q probable
postponement Of the four games
scheduled for tomorrow. But II 1t is
at all possible. the games will all be
played.
In the City league the Midwest
Box company and the Monongah
Glass teams viii clash in the opening
game Of the afternoon at South Side
park, beginning at D. m. It is nee
essary for the game to start at this
time In order to give the other teams
time to play the second game OF the
afternoon. The fionongah Glass nine
has yet to lose game and is going
to take no chances this afternoon. II
will have Its usual strong team in the
fray. The Midwest team won its
last game with the B. 6 o. by 81
score and will put up stubborn fight
IN the game this afte;Non.
The second game of the afternoon.
which will begin at 4 D. M, and
which is to prove of more than usual
interest, is the game between the Min
ing Machinery and Watson Building
teams. Should the Mining Machinery
team defeat the boys form the big
building the machinists will then go
into second place. Should the ma
chinists lose the Stevenson and Min
Ing Machinery teams will then be tied
for third place.
The Mining Machinery and Wat
Bon building teams are two OF the
best teams in the league and the
game this afternoon should be a big
factor in determining the comparative
strength of the two teams.
At Point Marion, Pa, this after
noon the Monongah baseball team
will cross bats with the first baseball
team from that town and real game
is expected. Last year number Of
games were played with Point Mar
ion, and they can always be expected
to have good team.
The game this afternoon will also
prove OF value to the Monongah team
in getting in baseball trim for the big
battle between Idamay and Monon-
gah tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock the
Thirteenth Street baseball team will
meet Westchester at South SIDE park.
The management of the Westchester
team saw in The West Yirginian of
last evening where the Thirteenth
Streeters were wanting shmes and
called this morning and arranged for
the contest.
One Of the biggest and probably
the best ATTENDED game of the season
VIII be played at Traction park to-
morrow afternoon beginning at $3.50
o'clock when the Idamay and Monon-
gRh teams, rivals on the baseball dia-
nond for YEARS, will take the field for
their annual game. Originally the
game was scheduled for last Sunday,
but because OF the game between Ida
may and Clarksburg at Clarksburg
was postponed until tomorrow.
Fans from in and about Idamay
and Monongah have been preparing
TO attend the game for weeks past and
the old gra1l stand at Traction park
ie expected TO be filed to capacity to-
morrow when the umpire gives the
command play ball"
II reports are I;ue, both teams have
new players who will be put into the
game tomorrow. Both teams are max
ing every effort to win the game ~
ARE going to the Init in securing the
very best players.
The Consumers Fuel company
team from Downs has taken on the
Grafton All-Stars for tomorrow after
noon. This game will be played at
Hlnckshere park beginning at p. m.
and the usual big crowd will be pres
ent.
The Grafton team has many old
league stars In their lineup and with
an abundance Of younger talent will
prepare TO spoil the q cd record Of
the MarsHpites tomorrow. But all
who have seen the consumers outfit in
action VIII easily understand. that this
is easier said than done, and that to
win from the Consumers team the
visitors viii have to go to the limit.

from that town will meet select
team from Watson. Manager Hite

the fray which last Sunday won from
the Warrington team. This game will
be called promptly 1880 p. m.
