of opposition and the series ot the Phil
adalphia Baseball Association VIII be
! tame compared to the flames for tic
Junior honors.
Ivy claims to have won twcntv-four
games in succession over a string or
Junior teams which includes the most
prominent in the city. The Lorraine
was mentioned by the Ivy as having
been beaten last year and the club from
Twenty. sixth and Jefferson streets
takes exception to this statement,
claiming they did not meet.
Ivy last year was known rs thc

roine lost only three games to the
Ledger A. A.. Argonaut and AdlNn.
Lorraine later defeated the Ledger and
scored three victories over Adlon. y
return contest was scheduled with Ar
