ball fans who follow the Factory
league clubs will be on the job Sat'1r-
day, three games being scheduled for
the day one in the morning and two
in the afternoon.
AS the leaders are scheduled for the
double bill il will serve as a splendid
attraction AS a matter Of fact the
fans are happy that a postponement
of the first game between these two
teams was compulsory for il gives
them an opportunity to see these two
teams in action at a later date in the
season when both are better equipped
to show their full strength.
To date the champion Singers have
not lost a single game, while the
divers have lost one. However, the
latter are occupying second place and
a double win for the plOwmakerS
would reverse the positions of the two
clubs in the percentage column.
Whether or not divers will play as
strong against the leaders as they do
against the weaker clubs remains 20
be seen.

pected that both will represent their

Singers have a slight advantage in
the matter of roofing as they have A
brass band Of their own among their
employees. also many. males and fe
males well supplied with megaphOnes,
who are able 10 give lusty cheer for
their favorites. But divers possess
the largest megaphone brigade and
every owner Of one knows how TO use
it to the best advantage. Consequent
ly the Singer oliver game will not
only be q test of base ball skill but
one Of roofing as well.
