St. Joe Baseball Opponents Failed to Come Here Sunday.

The St. Phillips high school baseball game with St. Joseph’s College, to have been held here Sunday, did not mature, owing to the failure of the former to make an appearance. The St. Phillips team was to have played Saturday and when they telephoned that they had missed the train the game was postponed until Sunday. Everyone at the college was preparing for a good game but the team, which recently defeated St. Joe in Chicago, failed to put in an appearance. Thither did the team telephon? or in any way let the college here know that they would not come. The teani from Chicago has not yet sent word concerning their failure to come for the game and the students and faculty at the college feel that the St. Phillips school has shown very poor sportsmanship.
