MOMENCE SUNDAY; TRIP IN AUTOS

Momence Team Will Be Here Without Fail to Meet Athletics—Defeated at Wheatfield Sunday. The Momence baseball team will be here next Sunday to play the Athletics and a good game can be expected. The manager of the Momence team called Manager Kiplinger by telephone Tuesday to make sure that the team > was expected and to say that they had found that the trip could be best made by autos. The manager also asked that some bills he sent and indicated that’ there will be some Momence rooters make the trip with the team. Last Sunday Momence met defeat at Wheatfield by the score of 10 to 3. Lou Jensen was in the box for Wheatfield and struck out ten of the visitors. The Momence pitcher had failed to earf«h the train and the team was weakened. This game will give Rensselaer and Wheatfield some opportunity for comparison, as Wheatfield is to play the Athletics on July 4th. Momence, like Rensselaer, is understood to have an all home team, and we expect an exciting contest next Sunday.
