The BIG GAME IS
COMING TOMORROW
ELks AND n. A. C.'S WILL SCRAP
IT oUT-THE kAMS AND
MALES PLAY
FIRST.

A. C.s tomorrow will be the hottest Of
the SEASONING matter how II comes
out II ought to be fast and we'll
played but whether there are four
errors or fourteen, those Of the fans
who like a mixture OF blood and gin
ger for their Saturday afternoon amuse-
ment will get the same In large and
generous dose. Moreover. there will be
good deal OF coin charging hands,
as the gamesters of either party are
finding little trouble in getting up
their fortunes.
The little bit of bad blood between
the two teams is sufficient to make the
scrap a hot one. But there is more
to II than that The Elks took the
first game played this season, and the
Reds got the second. Tomorrow's is
the third. II the Elks win 1t looks
like an almost sure hold on the pen
nant. II the II. A. C.'s can get the
long end 1t may mean that the Elks
will start on the toboggan slide. From
several standpoints this looks to be the
crucial game of the season, and there
ought to be gay old crowd to sec
the teams scrap 1t out.

A good deal of victory or defeat de-
ponds upon the pitchers. Hampton will
send them over for the Elks. and prob
ably Jim Williams for the Honolulus.
Some Of the fans are figuring that the
Reds will get Hampton UP in the air
with their lamblike joshing. This will
be case where he cannot afford to
lose his temper, no matter what the
provocation. II he keeps his head and
pitches the ball he is capable Of, h.
ought to hold the Reds to FIVE or six
nits. The big question is whether he
will do SO.
Williams will probably pitch be-
cause in the last game against the Elks
he had them all guessing until the
ninth inning, when they woke from
their trance and did some belated bat
ting. Tomorrow they will have &c
wake up sooner The Elks are con-
fident, in fact. little over-confident
In their weakened condition 1t looks
not at all like a cinch for anybody
Ringland has yet to prove his ability
in the field, and Bob White will have
to lower his sights or En- Sue and Fer
nandez and Gleason and a few more
will steal bases like wild men. Any.
