case. the Bankers will have to hustle

Mike Macdonald out Of the game. the
Bank Clerks will have to play real base
ball to win.
There is no hope that Country Morris

around on a crutch, and playing a game
Of ball is out OF the question 1t is
very doubtful if he gets in the series at
all.

just for old times sake Munich is one
Of the best sandIot receivers ever turned
out of the District. and many of his
friends will Journey to Vigilant Park
this afternoon to see him work.
Munich caught Cashion YESTERDAY rrorr-
ing at the ball park. and grew excited
last night talking about the big fellow.
'Cashion had lots of speed" said Muncb
and pretty fades way ball He did no,
cut loose with a curve, but put plenty of
the old steam on the ball"
Cash looks like a world beater to me.
and I only hope Griff gives him a chance
when the team comes home" continued
Munich.
