LOWELL TO BE OUR NEXT SUNDAY RIVALS

Our Oldest Athletic Opponents Are to Furnish the Program at Riverside Park. Lowell is to be here next Sunday to play the Athletics. Rensselaer had three good games with Lowell last year, winning two and losing ona Shurte, who pitched for the Lowell team, proved one of the greatest enigmas of last season. He is going good this year and held Momenee to two hits two weeks ago. Lowell always has a good ball team and Rensselaer turns out in large numbers to welcome them. ■' 5

Some changes in the line-up are possible for next Sunday. There never has been an occasion when fans took greater interest in the welfare of the home team and suggestions are as thick as molasses in midiwinter. The management wants to develop the strongest team possible and the interest of the public is appreciated. The first visiting day for the Athletics is Sunday, June 28th, when we play Goodland. It is hoped to have all the weak spots closed up by that time. ’Captaty Wilcox is arranging foi two practices a week from this time on and hopes to have his team in the best possible condition for succeeding games. Fans will >be interested in the outcome of last Sunday games in other places. •• * . Ockley, a small town where the baseball fever runs high, defeated Delphi by the sooire of 2 to o.' The Flora-Bringhurst team defeated the strong Logansport Ottos by the score of 1 to 0. Delphi plays the Ottos at Logansport next Sunday. Wheatfleld was defeated 5 to 3 on their home grounds by Hebron last Sunday. The game was neek and neck until near the end of the contest. It was some game, reports Alex. Jensen, who was down Monday.
