TWO GAMES ON THE OTHER FELLOW’S LOT

Athetics to Play the Delphi Comers Next Sunday and at Goodland On the 28th.

The Athletics are to leave home the next two Sundays, playing next Sunday at Delphi and the following Sunday at Goodland. The team has played six home games, winning five and losing one They have made a total of 48 scores to 23 for their opponents. They are Showing more class in every contest and expect to give the Delphi Comers a real game next Sunday. Delphi has had a splendid ball team for two years and have won all of their games this year except one, Just as Rensselaer has done. They are especially elated at this time because they, defeated the Logansport Ottos Sunday. They have big crowds at Delphi and their reorganization two weeks ago, when Jack O’Connor’was made manager, has inspired greater attendance than they were having before Rensselaer will go there on the 11:20 train Sunday and will probably be followed by a large number of fans. The fact that the home team has played to paying crowds all year is vrey encouraging and the manner in which the team has developed has been pleasing to the supporters. On June 28th the team will go to Good land, to play the swift team of that place and it is expected ;hat iwe will give the Goodland earn one of the hardest rubs it has had this season. This will make two Sundays in succession away from home, and advantage will be taken of this absence to have the home diamond put into professional style. It will be filled up With clay and then rolled solid and smooth.

Games beyond the. 28th have not >een scheduled, except that a return game is to be given the Lowell team on July 19th, and that the Chippewa Indians are to be played here on the 23rd of July if terms can be agreed upon.
