Two games for one admission will be
played at National Park this afternoon be-
tween the Bostons and Washingtons. the
first game being called at . o'clock. King
and Swain will probably do the twirling
for the home club, while Klobedanz and
Lewis will fill the same positions for the
visitors.
Tommy Tucker put his heart and soul in
to the game Saturday and could rarely be

to call him down to the bench finally, but
even then Tom continued to lead the root
