THIS YEAR.

Members of the Portage Lake base
bail nine will so to Calumet tomor-
row afternoon to play the Calumet
team at Athletic park. No games are
scheduled for the Portage Lake dis
triCt.
The locals will go to Calumet with
a good deal of confidence, due to the
fact that they have been hitting at
a high clip of late and are in good
standing in the league. The game
played with Ahmeek at the driving
park last Sunday demonstrated that
the Portage Lake team is composed
of some speedy ball tossers and will
be in the running for the Champion
ship.
The team has been strengthened in
both the infeld and outfeld. Gilbert
Will probably do the receiving tomor-
row while it is doubtful whether Pete
Wagner or Charlie Wagner, the veter-
an southpaw, will do the twirling.
Stcgman will again hold down first,
while Nick Kaiser will play second,
Royce of West Point, who played his
initial game with the locals last sun
day, will again hold down third. while
