CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
TIGERS CELEBRATION
Messrs. Frank Million and In
Co.

explains that 1t Is the object OF the
committee to make 1t an occasion
worthy of the city in honor of the
event. Checks should be sent to Sec
rotary James M. Reilly, of the Board
of Trade, 800 Broad street.
The first feature will be a f1ve-
inning game between the All-Stars
of the Manufacturer League and the
All-Stars professionals of this
vicinity. Many of these youngsters
will be seen in professional company
sooner or later The team that wins
this contest will clash with the cham
pions later in the day. Between the
first and second baseball games will
come the athletic stunts, such as run
ming to first base and around the bases
to make time, sprint races for the
fast men; throwing for distance and
for accuracy and fungo batting by the
ball players. All golfers who wish to
try the stunt are invited to make the
attempt to lift the ball over the CEN
tire field fence from home plate. This
will furnish real novelty for the
baseball fan who never gets near a
golf links and does not know how
skillful are some of the golfers in
driving for accuracy as well as dis
lance.
To make sure there will be a little
comedy on the side, George Bell and
Wyatt Lee have been matched for a
sprint race, closed to these two pitch
ers. 1t is possible that an egg race
will also be held by the Tiger players.
The committee in charge of the run
ming of the athletic events is COM
posed of John O'Hara, chairman;
John McAuliffe and Leonard Mason.
Frank McTague will pick the all
star semi professional outfit which is
to clash against the Manufacturer
League team, Eddie Zimmerman hav-
ing charge of the latter lineup.
