WEATHER MAN GROUCH; GAME POSTPONED

Old Sol Refuses to Smile and Heavy Rainfall of Saturday Night Causes Athletic Postponement. Rensselaer’s baseball season did not get under headway Sunday as per schedule owing to the heavy rainfall „ of Saturday night, which left the diamond at Riverside park a quagmire. It was probably just as well that the game was called off in the morning, as it rained again Sunday afternoon and the game would have Drobably been stopped. ' St. Joe will meet the Athletics next Sunday, however, at Riverside park, and it is thought that considerable progress will have been made by that time toward the completion of the hew stand. The old stand is nearly demolished and the erection of the new stand will be started Tuesday.
