BASEBALL GAME AT GOODLAND SUNDAY

Athletics -to Play Newton County Lads—Same Old Line-Up But It’s Good Enough. . The Athletics will play ball at Goodland Sunday. The bills which have been used to advertise the game states that at has been learned on “good authority” that Rensselaer will have A practically new team for the game. Nothing is (further from the cfact. Rensselaer will be right over there with the same old team and they are some team, too. hast Sunday at Delphi they played against one of the swiftest semi-pro infields that it was possible to get together. Delphi hired ball players from Indianapolis, Logansport, Purdue, Wabash College and a few other places, but Rensselaer played the “home boys” and they ran the imported team a neck and neck race. We have never considered Goodland invincible, and in fact, they have lost games to the Danville Grays, the Peru Specials and other teams and since Rensselaer played ia better game with Delphi at Delphi than the Logansport Ottos did iat Logansport, it can easily be doped out that our home team is (fast, clever and good enough without going out into the market for players. Rensselaer will go into Sunday’s game with the following line-up: Wilcox, catcher; Clarke pitcher; Swartzell, first has ii'Hatton, second base; Eldridge or Robinson, third base; Morgan, shortstop; Elder, dark, Beebe, Parks, Bristow, as fielders and utility men. The team will probably be followed by a large delegat-'on to Goodland and they can expect to see Rensselaer in fine form and prepared to contest every inch of the game.
