Monday afternoon at Webb PARK
Lancaster will be the attraction ant
for the first time this season. Ian
caster and Marion will play dou-
bic header. True, the game will
buck the circas, but as several o.
the shops close. it is thought that
the majority of fans will go to the
games In the afternoon and TO the
circus at night. The Lancaster ser
les will be most important one and
the biggest crowd OF the ssison
should see this touble attraction.
