Wolcott Will Be Here Friday.
The Wolcott baseball team will be the attraction at Rlverßlde Athletic Park Friday, when they will meet the Wrens for the third time this year. Wolcott won both- of the games so far played. The first was before the reconstruction days and the second was the day that the Wrens held them to 7 to 0 up to the ninth and then let them tie the score,, and then Wolcott won in the 11th inning. Swartzell Is quite apt to be in the box again for the locals, as he worked so successfully for 8 Innings when last he met them. Dobbins will play second and Parcells and McCarthy, who are doing lively work at short and third will be on hand. J. Wilcox will be back In left field, Morgan at first, Babe Parkß in center, and Elmer Wilcox, who is getting to be one of the best catchers In this section, will be at the receiving end. Grant will be out of town and one of the youngßters from another team is to be given a try out in right field. The Wrens are now hitting the ball 60 per cent better than they did early In the season and they confidently expect to be able to win this game.
