BrOWnSOn Five Will Go After
Eastern LeaguerS in Come
Back Game
VISITORS WILL BRING
DOWN THEIR STARS


the lads who have been setting a ter
rife pace in the Eastern League the
past two weeks and the only combi-
nation that has downod the onrushing
Brownsonians this season will make
their reappearance tonight at tho old
stand, and that another nerye-racking
skirmish will be the result Is but
mild prediction Two weeks ago,
the professional spheroid bouncers
took Brownson into camp by nine
point margin, in a rafting fast con-
test. during which the locals we're
completely outcassed in the begin
ming stanza, and came back like
champions in the second with great
rally. which, unfortunately fell short
of the coveted number Of points. II
was Joe Haney's first battle after an
extended lay off, and now that the
scoring star has rounded into early
season form, the Quaker band Of
speedometers will have TO pile up
more than twenty-five points in order

and intend to climax their endeavors
| by defeating some real dyed-in-the-
wool big league collection, and the
! Jackson street clan claims that De
| Neri Is to be the victim. and tonight
the time. The way the wearcrs Of the
gold and blue cavorted around the
wooden way in the second half Of the
/ West Spruce game last Friday night
is a fair indication of what they will
attempt to stage this evening. They
worked the ball from one basket TO
another time and again, passing in
true pennant winning style, and a
repetition of that immortal twenty
minutes means a victory over Doc
Newman's high stepping brigade.
Fogarty and Big Bill Keenan, have
been out OF the fray for three weeks,
and it is about time for the peerless
pair to come back into the glarng
foouights of the alluring basketball
stage. II is unlikely that they will
break forth from their realm OF re-
cuperation into a strenuous forty
minute session in the big ring without
some preliminary practice, and there
is a strong possibility of them ap-
pearing in tho Brownson fracas for
at least a half apiece. De Neri is
good without them, but with Brainy
Joe at the helm, and the husky pivot
man toeing the center mark. the old
. lohnstown crew is as good as any
quintet in the east
Doc Newman. who held the homo
