 Double attraction at Newfeld park. Both Crane teams will be there which means a big crowd.
 Warner Brothers will depend upon Higgins to win the game against No. 2 Cranes. Red Coughlin will on the other hand hold the Warmers down to few hits. It will be a battle royal.
 Something will drop when the No. Cranes and Singers meet It's a case Of sluggfng against science.
 Brass Shop-Yost game ought to prove stellar attraction. Brassies will uss Egan and Robinson, both of whom last year phased the Yost batters.

 further in their fight for the. rag by selecting Tom Buckley as captain of the team. What Buck does not know about baseball isn't worth knowing. 
 New faces will appear on many of the teams on Saturday. There are quite a few that are now working in the factories, who were not eligible for the first game.
 Fred Ldggins. pitcher for the War ners, when he faces the Yost team a week from Saturday will be opposed by Amos Johnson. his old team mate on the West End team. It will surely be fight. with odds in favor of Amos. as he has the classier team behind him.
 Cartridge shop boys are undaunted by that defeat of last Saturday. One of the teams had to win, and it might as well have been the Yosts. It was sweet revenge after that ending of last season.
 fWfggie" Halpin of the Singers and "Doranao" Buckley of the Brassies lead the league to date in batting with averages of .750 apiece each having three safe hits out of four times at bat.
