HEATED BATTLE
EXPECTED TODAY
divers Will Fight to Tie Ball
Bands for Leadership of
League.

Interest in the Manufacturers
league games today centers at the
north side park. Mishawaka, where
the Oliver team will endsavor to tie
the Ball Bands for first place in the
percentage column. While the two
leaders arc battling Singers and
Studebakers Will clash at Singer
park
one game separates the oliver and
Ball Band teams. since Pres't Car
son threw out the protested con-
test Of June Il. which was won by
the Ball Bands. Both teams are on
edge for battle as divers nave an
opportunity 20 tie the leaders while
the Mishawakans will not have to
worry so much about the Singer
game the following Saturday if they
cop today.
The protested game will probably
be played off on Saturday. Sept. ?,
al Springbrook park as that is where
it was originally played. A double
header was suggested for today but
the Ball Bands demurred on the
grounds that they were going TO
play the Central league club. Then
they cancelled that game claiming
that two games in two days would
be too strenuous for them
Race Is Close.
In order to .inch the pennant the
Ball Bands must win from divers
today and from Singers next Satur-
day If they lose today, which divers
promise is to be their lot they Will
have chance TO tie for the pen
nant by defeating Singers and then
divers in the playoff Of the pro-
test.
If divers win today. Singers can
gum up the works considerably by
coming through with a win next
Saturday Charley Lentz's crew are
going good and look capable of
turning the feat, so the divers must
win today in order to have fight
ing chance for the flag.
Both managers have been groom
ing their squads for this battle which
has assumed large proportions in
the league flag calculations since the
allowance of the oliver protest.
Willis will undoubtedly be the hurl-
ing selection for the Mishawakans
while ne will be opposed by either
Moore or Young. Each hurler has
won one game from the Ball Bands
and it all depends on whether the
day is hot or cold as to which works.
Young is the better man for cold
weather while Moore can stand the
gait if the day is hot.
Fight For Cellar.
Singers and Stude bakers will be
fighting for the cellar position in
their battle and although the game
is not so important as the Mishawaka
clash a good article of baseball
should result. These two teams have
fought each other hard all year.
Studebakers go good against any
club i'm the league except the Ball
Bands while Singers experience the
same difficulty although they have
one win OYER the Ball Bands 20 their
credit.
