The Lafayette Riversides have been cleaning up on the city series in Lafayette and outside of the Red Sox are the best club in Lafayette. The Red Sox do not travel, but play all their games at home.. The Moving Picture Team is said to be a whirlwind. They defeated the U. 8. Army team 5 to 4. They have been taken on tor a week' day, so that all can get out and enjoy the novelty of a ball game where pictures are taken of the teams and the crowd all in motion. It will be another case of “Home Folks” movies. The pictures will ibe shown later at The Princess. The game will be extensively advertised.

According to a request that came from many quarters there will be some changes in the team beginning with Sunday, July sth. Eddie Quill and Billy Cohan two fast infielders, have been secured. Quill has been placing shortstop for the Magnets, one of the best team® in the city. One of his team mates is Johnny Hanks, who is playing sensational outfield and is one of the best batters in the semi-pro field. He recommends Quill as a fast fielder, a 300-hitter and the fastest man in Chicago on bases. Cohan is a big fellow, while Quill i® a midget. Cohan has played on several of the best teams in the cityjpajd is well recommended. With these additions it is believed the Althletics will be able to play with the classiest teams that can be secured. Bristow will pitch Saturday’s game against Mt. Ayr and possibly Eldridge. will catch the game, -Wilcox and Clark being used in the field.
