TO PIT SYKES -
AGAINST DOOLEY

WILL BE ON CENTURY
MOUND.

What is the dope on the ball game
tomorrow?
This seems to be the all absorbing
question with the fans today. To
dope out the game tomorrow is a
hard proposition. The Century team
Is al shot UP. The absence of Retts
from the game is great loss to
them. Jut who will receive the pill
behind the bat is question. Who
will do the pill showing is another
question. In the last exhibition Eau
cett was hit hard and often. It has
been rumored that Sykes will be here
and will be pitted against the Mighty
Dooley and If that is the case and a
good man to receive for Sykes, 1t will
be ball game and don't you forget

The County Officials team will be
the same as the last line up, which is
by far the hest they have ever put in
the field. The game will be called at
$3.50 o'clock.

Though little belated the vaca-

There will be necessity for the
changing up of the staff OF the school

ly upon the opening of school and the
organization of the societies are had.
There will be reorganization OF
the staff, and should Ashley B. Sow

allowed considerable latitude in the
formation OF the staff of 1928.

be made a permanency, as it should
be, and it will doubtless add much
to the school spirit, and will aid the
teachers and the superintendent in
this much important school work.
