feat in the game played last Satur
day afternoon with the team of the
Alco Club of Albany, at that place
The boys are not discouraged over
their defeat as they were consider
ably over matched, the average
weight of the opposing team being
about eight pounds heavier than that
of the Independence team. The score
was eighteen to nothing In favor of
Albany, all of which was made in
the first half. In the last half our
boys played them to a stand still
and feel confident when the game
is played in this city, some time in
the future, that they will be able to
L'ive them a good run for their mon
