The ball game Sunday between the Americans and Jefferson Grays was one of the hardest contested games that was played this season. It looked like a victory for the Grays until after the 5th inning, when the Americans began to pound the Grey’s pitcher, and he was retired before the inning was played out. All the pitchers looked alike until the game was over. The score was 9 to 10 in favor of the Americans. Next Sunday the Americans will play the Elgin Giffords for the gate receipts. The Giffords is considered one of the best amateur teams in Kane Co., and a good game is looked for. They have the Aurora battery, Feeney & O’Brien, so don’t fail to see the Giffords in their white suits.
