STANDING OF THE CLUBS

teams will play the first game Of a
series Of three games arranged be-
tween the above-named teams for

these teams are strictly amateur

In many baseball stories the words
''semi-pros," are used freely. The
average persons do not understand
such baseball terms. ''Semi-pro,
is an abbreviation for "Semi-prO-
fessional," which means that such
players receive half-pay for their
services, or, only play on certain
days.
The Del Ray baseball lads are
strong bunch of country players
who are hard to beat. They have
defeated many high-class teams
from Washington and )tner places
and are now ready to show the
Cardinals few new tricks in the
mysteries of the baseball art. They
