stitute will come together a. 4 o'clock
this afternoon for the third and decisive
game of the series, and should the

pected that Il large crowd will be on
hand to witness the exciting contest.
Roth sides have game apiece and
this will decide the championship of
the schools.
The Watervil.e High school team will
have young Coburn again in the box.
In the last game and part of the first
in which he pitched, he was a puzzle
to the Coburn batters. However there
is not telling what will happen today.
The lineup of the High school team
will be the same as in past games.
Coburn will send Gilman INTO the box
to start the game and probably Welch,
who has done the pitching, will be be-
hind the bat. Gilman has pitched but
few games this season, but in those few
he has demonstrated his ability 1t
will be a game that will be worth the
money. Roth schools will turn out in
force to assist in the cheering.
