Crack Lafayette Club Will Oppose Athletics Sunday.

Grant’s Athletics face a hard task Sunday when they are called upon to down the Riversides of Lafayette. The Riversides ace rated the best club in that city with the exception of the Red Sox and last year won the city league pennant, and have been defeated but very few times since they were organized. They were defeated at Crawfordsville last week by the. score of 1 to 0. Following their victory over the Lowell club Sunday the Athletics are feeling chesty and are confident of downing the Riversides, feeling that >Uiey have hit their stride. It is probable that the same lineup which faced Lowell Sunday will be at their same stations against the Riversides. Biaten will be behind the log with Clark • doing the pitching. Blue or Eigelsbach will be at first base, Eldndge will cover second, Fredericks will be at short and Lyman on tihrd. Elder will be in left and Parks in right, with either Clark or Healy in center field. , The fans are asked to turn out ana boost the home club, for it takes money to run a ball team and if Rensselaer wants baseball they must support it. “
