"One of the most interesting games that may be expected this season was played (in Edwardsville, Illinois) last Sunday between the home team and the Eagles of St. Louis."
"The feature of the game was the battery of Dooms and Schultz of the Madisons, Dooms striking out 17 men."
"The home club could do nothing with the pitching of McGinniss, till the seventh inning, when they hit him so hard that they succeeded in scoring six runs, which they followed up in the eighth inning by securing two more and winning the game by 8-4."
"The McClean 'Green Diamonds' play here next Sunday."
