ASHLAND PLAYS FORpHAM
UNIVERSITY MAY 25TH

Ashland will play Fordham univer-
sity on Ashland park grounds Sunday,
May 25th. and fast game is assured.
Ashland will have as usual Rieger and
Chase for battery; also Vincent, Ed
die Murray. Hebert and Brickley for an
infield, LeClaire, Raney. Maynard and
Cakes from which to pick their out
field
This game should be exceptionally
fast, as the visiting team on this oc-
casion will receive no expenses what
soever unless they win After last
Sundays game with St Mary's team
the regulars are pretty well broke in
and expect to romp home with another
victory Sunday.
Ashland also plays at. the submarine
base on Saturday the Gath. Their
battery for this game will probably be
Brickley and Chase. 1t is runored
around town that over $500 has been
bet on this game already. as one of
the. leading merchants of the town has
a nephew going to Fordham who will
play on this team. He says that this
nephew is some ball player and on the
strength of this and the poor game
that the first team put up in their
game last Sunday, when Stonington
failed to show IN, is the foundation
for quite a few bets that Ashland will
get trimmed this coming Sunday. hut
you can never tell. 1t takes the firing
line to show up the real hero. and this
IS true in baseball.
