The game on Nhe home grounds to-
morrow afternoon with Elk Mills promises
to be battle royal Both teams are
playing winning ball, and both have PEN
nant aspirations. Elk Mills is within
hailing distance and is to be reckoned
with in the race. The game should, and
no doubt will, draw big crowd. The
attendance SO far. with one or two excep-
tions, has not paid expenses of home
games, and the club not only needs, but
deserves, boost in the financial line, as
it is putting up good game. Turn out
tomorrow and not only help swell the
gate receipts, but root for victory as Elk
Mill will make the boys hustle to beat
them out.
