PI0NEERS-ANNEX;
 TAKE YOUR PICK
Fast Local Semi-ProS. to Battle
 Sunday for Honors

The question of which team ;s tbe superior in baseball locally, will be seltied Sunday at the Ellis street dia- mond, when the Pioneers and the fast Annex team, will clash for the first tune. The battle promises to be a not one, and the rooters of both teams VIII De out in force to yell for their respective clubs.
 While the Pioneers have the more experienced team, the boys from the East End have collected together an aggregation of youngsters that have given an excellent account of them selves on the diamond Manager Ackerstrom the hustling manager of <; the Annex team feels that his boys will emerge from the fray a winner.
 The boys from the South End ha "a no axes to grind, but they wish to maintain the opinion of. their friends that they are the one best bet in base ball. in the city.
 Both managers will use their strongest lineups. Manager Norton of the Pioneers will proba bly pin his hopes in Ahern and Noonan, his Lrize battery. In the infield will be .Fal- lon, the fast first Sacker who made his initial bow to local fans last Sun day, and who played a strong game. Conlin, at second, Hinchliffe at short stop and Clancey at third, will com prise the infield. Dujack, Blinn and McKeon or Campbell, will be in the outfield pasture.
 Manager Ackerstrom has decided on Tommy Blanchard, of no-hit fame to twirl, with Holleran on the re- ceiving end. Blanchard since his ad- vent into baseball has had one ambi- tion, namely to defeat the Pioneers and now that the opportunity has ar rived his work will be watched closely. The other members will be the same as in past games including Cabellus the High school star at the initial sack and Jimmy Hogan al 1 sh ortstop.
 ] The record crowd of the season i. expected to attend the game.

HARD ON PITCHERS.

Cincinnati, July 31.-George Stall lings won a pennant last year with three pitchers, and Charlie Herzog is confident that he can retain. last place with only one more mound man. Benton and King Lear have been sus- pended by the manager of the Reds cn account of wildness, and this leaves the team with cnly Schneider, Dale, Toney and a recruit named McKenery
 As the Reds have a lot of double headers in front of them the faith full four will probably find it stren- uous summer, Schneider has already pitched two games in an afternoon, and the others may be called upon to do double duty at any time.

ALL-sTARS LOOKING FOR SCALPS Would Like To Mingle With Pioneers
 Or Other Teams.

The All-Stars one of the fastest teams that has ever graced diamond representing this city are now going mingle with other clubs in this vii cinity
 If any preference is to be shown it is the Pioneers that they would like to engage in battle on some Sunday afternoon, to settle the difference of opinion that exists among the All- Stars followers, and the friends of the Sand Bank aggregation.
 In scanning the lineup of the AL Stars one will recognize immediately. from the nucleus of the team, that they are able to render a good ac- count of itself at all times. The men1- bers of the A. s. is as follows: "Skin- n.y. Ringrose, formerly of the Cath olic university, and Borg, .catchers: Don't Rush and "Bin'' Dudjack, pitchers; Connie Reynolds, Joe Fitzpatrick, Buggy" Fitzpatrick. Ray Begley Berny Coyle, Art Campbell, in- fielders; Henry Flanagan, Pussy Robinson and "Zeke" Lardner, out fielders.
 This outfit is composed of former stars of the High school. They have extreme confidence in their ability to beat the Pioneers.
 1t is hoped that a series between the teams will be arranged.
 F. S.--The management of the All Stars will back his boys against th4 Pioneers for any amount ranging from $50 upward.
