With little more money the manage ment would be encouraged to make dates with some of the faster inde- pendent teams where a larger guaran- tee is called for. Next Saturday the local team will cross bats with the Holyoke Steam Pipe nine, and the following Saturday with the team representing Bemis 6 Gall of Spring field. For July 4th two games with Monson have been booked.
