Hill, chucking for the victors, kept the Maroon hits scattered and struck out ten men. The Rock Island Lines, champions of the East End league, and the Manufacturers Trust, winners in.

the Loop league, will clash at 6 p. m. today in the second game of the annual series. Rainy weather cut down the attendance last evening, but despite that more than 500 were on hand to cheer for their favorites. The defeat of the Maroons was An upset, as most of the fans had looked upon Captain Brust and his mates as the new city champions.

Kludy, left fielder for Memorial Christian, is deserving of much credit for his shoe-string catch in the sixth inning with the bases loaded which retired the eide and saved the day for Hill. Memorial Christian gained the upper hand in the fifth inning when Hill walked and D. Walker connected for a circuit swat which gave the winners the necessary margin.

Behnamann, for mer coach, to the post of director of athletics. Ten contests, five of them slated for the Crimson bowl at Twenty-fifth avenue and Seventeenth street, Rock Island, have been approved by the athletic board of control. A Chicago eleven will be the principal attraction on the home schedule. John Marshall, ranked as one of the most consistent winners in the Chicago area, will send its huskies to Rock Island on November 8.
