Expect Good Gaine With Chicago Ball Club Sunday.
The Cattlemen’s Commercial Club, a well reputed ball dub of Chicago, representing the Union Stock Yards, will oppose the Athletics at Riverside Park next Sunday. The game was arranged by Emmet Eldridge. The visiting team has won games at Joliet, Bloomington and other Illinois cities and is supposed to be characterized by that brand of “pep” which has made Chicago famous as a ball town. As previously stated the Athletics will be composed of an all home’ team. Clark will again be on the mound, with Elmer Wilcox at the receiving end. This star battery has made a fine record this year and will try to put a climax to the winning streak of the “cow punchers.” Faithful “Dad” Swartzell will be on first, dependable Parks on second and that splendid outfield, Elder, Jesse Wileox and Denniston in the field. Eldridge, Eigelsbach, Robinson, Potts, Clark and Cohn are left from which to select the third corner and shortstop men. Those holes have been hard to fill, but the work of Eldridge in the Wednesday practice was very encouraging. He is fast, accurate and has a splendid throw. Morgan was out for practice and showed very good considering his bad knee, but there is small chanee of his working in Sunday’s game.
