Jakey Atz and his band of tall

Grays will be unable to dislodge them.
for today the Tigers have a lead of
three fun games over the Clamdiggers,
thanks to the Shelters, who took two
from the Rhode Islanders yesterday.
Before yesterdays games here JACK

Eddie Zimmerman, the little human
dynamo of energy, who played a bang
up game at the hot corner yesterday,
and whose peppery work seemed to be
infectious, putting life in the team all
