Lowell to Play the Wrens At Riverside Park Next Sunday.

The Wrens will have Lowell for theif opponents next Sunday at Riverside park. The flunking with Brook Sunday was a very deplorable occurrence, but practically unavoidable so far as the manager was concerned. That Rensselaer owes Brook more than an apology is certain and It is hoped to square the thing in some acceptable and sportsmanlike manner. It would have been better had nine men that never saw a ball gone over and put up some sort of a contest than to have “fluked” absolutely. It is expected that the Wrens will come in for a great roast when Orie Bumblebee comes out with his weekly jokesheet and whatever he says, everyone is going to laugh at, no matter how coarse it is. J Lowell is a great ball town and a great athletic favorite with Rensselaer. For years they have tried to beat us at football but they can’t do it, and for years we have tried to beat them at baseball with the same diannuraging results. This year we are going to try to turn the tide, but the fledglings realize that they have got to go some. That gallant old warrior, Minus Irwin, is in the box for the up-staters, and he has been handing out the whitewash to a lot of ambitious teams this year. Irwin is popular here, too, and it was he who went to Oxford last year and finished the game for the Wrens when Hanks blew up. The attraction for next Sunday looks to be the best of the season, thus far, and Riverside park should, have the largest crowd of the season, probably augmented by a number of Lowellites, including a few former Rensselaereans. now chasing the elusive dollar in Lake county
