TIGERS AND

SUNDAY

What promises to be one of the
best practice games thus far will
be played Sunday when the Pa
cific Brewing &c Mating Co. S
team meets the Tigers Sunday.
The Brewers have been working
hard for several months and are
in good condition. They have a
good lineup consisting of some of
the best local talent and are going
to try and give the Tiger squad its
d first defeat of the season.
Olson, who pitched the game
which defeated the Pfisters last
year. will be on the mound, wi III
Mitchell as substitute. H. John
son, manager, will be behind the
bat. The rest of the lineup fol-
lows: GRASSY, Sd; Brown, IS !;
Martin, I'd; A. Johnson, list; Clark
lief; Wilkousky, If; Hardy, If;
Mockell, utility.
All of the Brewers are hard hit
tiers and Olson has smoke and bad
breaks for his tossing. With
weather the game should be a
close one.
