MONON NEXT TEAM TO TACKLE ATHLETICS

Swift Semi-Pro Organisation From Railroad Town Will Be Here for Contest Sunday. £ J. J. Blair’s fast Monon team will be here Sunday to play Kip’s Athletics and the locals will do all in their power to get away with the game. Clark should be in prime condition, not having pitched since the Lowell game, two weeks ago, while the infield will present a much better appearance than it did in the last gfime. This will restore Elder to left field, while Dennistou will be at bis post in right. With Conn at Short and Robinson at third base the line-up will be the same that it was in the Wheatfield game, except that Parks will play second instead of Morgan. It is .an all home team, while the Monon team is composed largely of hired players. It is expected that the largist crowd of the season will be out to witness the game. Financially the team is in'splendid shape, having made money on every game except the Momence game, which almost broke even. Sunday, July 27th, the team will go to Remington to play a return game. Remington was defeated here oarfy in the season. It has continued to play ball since and is winning most of its games, having defeated Reynolds last Sunday, 11 to 1.
