WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
A Terrible Battle Will be Fought
Here June %.

Perrysburg and vicinity during its
past history has been the scene of
battle and blood shed but what bids
fair to be the seyerest contest of them
all is scheduled to take place at the
Perrysburg ball park on the after
noon of June %.
Two years ago two factions were
drawn up in line of battle and after a
severe struggle for supremacy the
company designated as the west -siders
were declared victors over their op-
ponents from the east side. Ever
since that day there has been rank
ling within the breasts of those east
siders that has continued to grow un-
til it became unbearable and culmi-
mated last week in their hurting a
defy at their previous conquerors.
Nothing daunted, and still confident
of their ability to best their old time
foe, the challenge was quickly ac-
cepted by the west-side men and all
arrangements have been completed
for battle royal at the place and on
the date above scheduled.
Among the conditions governing
the contest are that neither side shall
call into service any player of recent
experience and the defeated team
shall stand all expenses of a supper
to- be partaken of by all participating
in the contest.
Since the arrangements have been
completed it is almost impossible to
get waited on at any of our stores for
you will either find the proprietor
out warming up and practicing or
else in the back room bathing his
aching muscles and bruised hand
with arnica and liniment.
The following have already been
drafted into the service and should
this number fail to be adequate re.
