The bulk Of attention will be given to

T HERE was little doubt that Bis

way.
With DerrilI Pratt on first base.
Wares at second, BisllHl at sh )rt

tenders will have a very flossy inner
defense to open the ball next year
And that inner defense thing does

Following which, Wallie went on
to praise Bisland's hitting ability, es-

than men.
The first wrangle occurred in the
second inning when c. Leopold. of the
Cumberland team, was struck by a
Midland player In the sixth inning
Manager Nelson w. Russter, Of Cum

the meantime a turmoil ensued in the
grandstand where women were fight

Two women fought for nearly half
an hour and men were unable to sep

Four separate fights occurred in the
grandstand
