Bellevue Browns

AMATEUR GAMES
If determination wins games then the Bellevue Browns have got the
victory over the St Patricks, whom they play today at the Bellevue Athletic
Park, pocketed and tabulated on their winning column in the race for the
championship of the O and K League.
But in order to win today they will have to put forth their best licks to defeat the child like and bland Saints, who make a specialty of walloping their opponents just when defeat stares them in the face. The many friends of the Kentucky team are more than pleased with their great showing thus far, and will turn out in great numbers to witness the contest that will make a change in the race for football honors.
Captain Faragher's men are in fine fettle, ready and eager for the kick off and the sound of the whistle will find them at their post, awaiting the bidding of their leader. Mr. Blair will referee. The line up:
