 OPPOSES INFANTRY
 IN TODAY'S BATTLE
22nd infantry Batteries will Face Clever andEXperienCed Mound Artist in Cassidy. New ACqui- Sition of Copper Queen.

 between the Copper Queen team and the combination representing the 22nd Infantry from Douglas The soldiers are capable of presenting very skill ful exposition of the American past time. In fact the combination which will attempt to check the ambitions of the revived Boosters is probably the fastest which could be gotten to- eether among an the soldiers at the Douglas camp
 It will be a decidedly different az gregalion which will be trotted out by Manager Buchanan this afternoon and will doubtless prove a pleasant surprise to those fans who do not ap, rreciate the important improvements which have been made Manager Blu chanan has felt keenly the reverses experienced under his direction and has made up his mind that he will show local sport followers that he not only knows the theory of base ball lut can put into practical ex- position his ideas relative 10 the game which is often referred to these days as about the only sport which is beyond suspicion of taint from cor rup. money influences.
 However, to revert to the subject directly in hand In the first place the visitors will be obliged tc face la beaver who will be able to show | them a few things which may leave with them the impression thas they Ihave not been facing many real heav- ers this season. They will face a pitcher who has seen a whole lot of 1 exp, rience and whose presence out side of the realms of real fast com. panv may be attributed to something otho- than inability to make good m :, the cohorts of the clever opponents of organized ball.
 Because a player is not in action Iamong the recognized kings of ball dom does not necessarily imply that lie not of the calibre which assigns to one the right of entry to the paths which lead Co diamond fame There ! Is sometimes a tendency among the wise and also the alleged" wise ones to unjustly quIstion a performGr's liability, simply because he is not en rolled among the ranks of the big Ol ] near-big leagues. This is grossly un fair There are many reasons, some times, deterring a player of sufficien worth from participation in the nor, 4 prominent activities of the diamond ' Oftebtimes there are baseball litga tens of which SO much has been Ieat and heard of late which exile a cley CT baseball artist from the ranks O the duly recognized experts of base
 balldom Perhaps this has not great deal to do with the matter O Cassidy's appearance in the box thi . afternoon and, then again, the fan , might do we'll tO bear a few of thes observations in mind when consider | ling the appearance of such a cleve - rouudsman without the pale of th - more exclusive baseball circles.
 No one should get the idea, for ! moment. that Cassidy is an inexpeI | fenced uEifier seeking a chance her 3 to force an entry into baseball recoe ! milton. Quite the contrary is tru l for Cassidy is an experienced bo, man and decidedly canny on all maj ters cf inside ball Fans who want t see a really heady pitcher work vii do well to be in the grandstand whe his umps' calls the ceremonies L order this afternoon.
 As has been said before, quite a fe' , of the baseball critics have bee
 watching Cassidy at Warren Par this week and considerable surpris , has been expressed at the presence c a hcaver of such apparent ability i
 these parts
 Possessing plenty of natural basu
 ball intuition, coupled with natiy
 ability for sizing up the characteri
 tics of the opposing batsman, Cassid
 supplements his advantages by hi
 long experience in the study of plal
 CTS in fast company. Nor should an!
 one get the impression for one minut
 that Cassidy is a "has-been." Notl
 ing could be farther from the trutl
 He has speed, the choicest of curve
 and, to be perfectly frank about th
 whole matter, he really ought to D
