MONTICELLO TO PLAY ATHLETICS NEXT SUNDAY

Game To Take Place At Riverside Park.—Jim Downey’s Favorites ' To Clash With Locals.

For a time it looked as though the Athletics would have an idle day next Sunday, but Manager Kiplinger succeeded in getting hold of Jim Downey’s Favorites at Monticello and has scheduled them for the affray at Riverside Athletic Park. Monticello has not been playing much ball this year, but has a game with Idaville for Thursday and has secured the services of our pitcher, Howard Clark, for the contest. It is quite certain that Monticello will come here with a ball team made up from the best players in two or three towns, under the leadership of Jim Downey, the veteran of baseball in this section of the country, having played with the big teams when “Dad” Swartzell was wearing kilties. The game Sunday Will be the last at home for two weeks, in all probability, as the Athletics expect to play a game or two at other places, one of the games being with Monon during the gala week there.
