Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 181, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 August 1917 — Co. C Expects to Drug Co. M Soldiers In Game Tomorrow. [ARTICLE]

Co. C Expects to Drug Co. M Soldiers In Game Tomorrow.

Reports coming from Monticello state that Company C’s baseball team is expecting to give the Rensselaer company a sound trouncing at Riverside park Saturday afternoon. It is rumored that the Company C lads will have a front that will surprise the local aggregation. However, such reports invariably precede all athletic contests and the locals are not in the least worried as to the outcome of the battle. Hugh Kirk will do the “Silk” O’Laughlin part of the game and expects to get by without being the subject of a bayonet charge. The game is called for 3 o’clock and an admission of 25 cents will be charged. The addition of Elmer Wilcox, who will do the backstopping, and the placing of Gant in right field will be the only changes from last Sunday’s lineup.
