Burke and Harry Hose, of the Holy Rotary Lyceum and the So-So Baseball clubs, respectively, met at "The livening World" office last evening to complete arrangements for a game at Oak Point Sunday, July 22. In aid of the Sick Babien' Fund. They agreed to get their best leims together and put up as Etrong a game es has been played on any amateur Held this season. The best method of getting the biggest returns for the Fund wab dis cussed, and It was finally determined to charge a nominal admission fee, say lf cents, and hand the entire gross re ceipts over to "The livening World." In doing this nobody can charge either of the clubs with professionalism, as only the worthy charity will be bene fited. Here Is another proposition for a game In uid of the Sick Babies' Fund. To Lbe Spurting Kdltor I attended the Actors' ball game at the Polo Grounds, and think It quite a scheme to help the Sick Hables' Fund We, the Ontarlos, are uniformed and have played such teams as the Albion Field Club, Pacifies of Jerse City, West Arllngtons, Orltanl Brsrves, and have won from the above teams, having lost but two games with teams outside of college teams. We will play any respectable team In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Brooklyn which has inclosed grounds, the gate receipts (entire! to go to your Fund for Sick Bablet.
